 Can you give me the name of a cheap hotel in New York?   From Poor-but-Love-NY

I would suggest giving JC’s in Soho a go. The position is fantastic; the rates are good and the rooms are clean and rat-free.

I want to go on holiday by myself which is the safest country?   From Sick-of-Friends-with-No-Money

Japan would be my number one suggestion. It’s a cultural wonderland; the shopping is sensational and it’s one of the safest countries in the world, particularly for women.

I’m going to Venice soon but I’ve heard that hotels are really expensive, any suggestions?   From Dreaming-of-Palaces

Head to www.trav2venice.com they have some great bargains (zero in on the B&B’s in particular) that will allow you to stay in the heart of Venice which is where you’ll want to be. Don’t let any guidebook tell you otherwise!
