Stay in Tenerife, Spain

Benimar apartments Fanabe is a complex located in the south of Tenerife in the Fanabe/del Duque area. It is a well maintained complex with 2 pools and ample space around them for sunbathing. The interiors are modern and well decorated as the complex is quite new. It is suitable for couples and families looking for a peaceful relaxing holiday.

The nearest beaches Playa Fanabe and del Duque are only an 8-10 minute walk. There is also a marvellous shopping centre close by with restaurants and bars, including Biancos, which we highly recommend, an amazing Italian restaurant, which has a sister restaurant in Playa de las Americas.

Battle of the Travel Websites

Last month, I outlined my methods for planning frugal trips, from setting up Google News alerts to reading local novels set in my destination. Many readers wrote in with tips of their own, including Web sites I’d never heard of or had yet to try. So I put them to the test.

Up first, the battle of the booking sites. Reader Haskel suggested Mobissimo.com, whose fares, he wrote, “are very often cheaper than those on Kayak. It is a must-stop Web site for me.” Whitney, meanwhile, suggested Vayama.com, writing, “it has negotiated deals for international flights, plus the ease of use of the site is wonderful.” Mark considers SideStep.com “awesome,” while Michael Madison calls Dohop.com “a must-go site.”

Ryanair to charge for using on-board toilets?

Ryanair serious about charging to use toilets in-flight, may charge extra "breathing fee" for inhaling during flight - Boing Boing

Ryanair, the discount airline that operates virtual prison-ships in the sky, is serious about installing pay toilets on its aircraft -- it will cost a pound to go wee. They're also reducing the number of toilets on their cramped, miserable planes. What are the odds that this will improve relations between passengers and the surly, angry flight crew?

The (very) last time I flew Ryanair, they locked us all in a no-toilets departure area for an hour and a half before the flight, then threatened to have me arrested for using the toilet when I boarded, rather than waiting until we were in the air and levelled off (which turned out to be an hour later).
