NYC Bus Charters Theme Park Routes

Anil P. — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:00:37 +0000

The tour service New York Bus Charters has slowly expanded their offerings since I wrote about them last October. New York Bus Charter is now offering routes to popular amusement parks on the US east coast, including Six Flags and Dorney Park.

New York Bus Charters has package deals to take advantage of before the roller coaster season really heats up. Weekend deals start at around $50 round trip for groups of 6 or more. The buses leave from all 5 New York boroughs and you can email the company for an exact quote to and from other destinations.

Ideally, a charter bus might be a good idea for larger groups of travelers who’d rather spend their road time sleeping, hanging out, or drinking with friends rather than trying to force their eyes open for long stretches of highway. As I’ve mentioned before, New York Bus Charter is a very accessible company, via both email and telephone. Their site boasts of 24 hour service, and I’d give them a call to find out more if you’re interested. A prompt late night response is a good barometer of how the service will be.

In addition to amusement parks, New York Bus Charters offers day and weekend trips to casinos, beaches, and tourist attractions up and down the eastern United States.

The traveler’s insurance company, Cheap Travel Insurance, has been offering its services to backpackers and travelers of all ages since 2000. The company, which is currently available to UK residents only has a variety of policies for individuals, couples, and families for trips ranging from a few days to several months. Cheap Travel Insurance’s policies cover a large range of physical and financial hardships you may face while away from home.

A quick rate quote, which can be obtained through their website, for travel next month from the UK to within Europe for a single traveler, turned up the price of £18.99 for the duration of the trip. This price for the most basic coverage package covers up to £1 million pounds for medical care, £500 for lost luggage, and £300 for missed departures.

The cluttered website makes it difficult to easily navigate Cheap Travel Insurance’s complete offerings so I’d recommend calling their offices directly to get full details on coverage restrictions, pricing, and other questions you may have. The policy summaries are well laid out however, and break down how much coverage Cheap Travel Insurance offers which vary for backpackers and snowboarders to name a few examples.

Cheap Travel Insurance can protect you from a variety of travel mishaps. If you’re a UK resident preparing for a long trip take a look at their offerings before you depart.

Take The Go Airlink Shuttle Around NYC

Anil P. — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 06:00:29 +0000

Take the Laguardia Airport Shuttle in and around the New York City and northern New Jersey area on your next trip up there. The Go Airlink Shuttle website has been updated and is even easier to navigate than when I did my first review of them.

The Go Airlink Shuttle website is crisp, clean, and cuts to the point. You can browse their schedules to the right of the page and get price quotes for point to point shuttle stops. Go Airlink Shuttle runs between the major airports in the New York City area, like Laguardia and Newark International as well at to major attractions and hotels in and around town.

The company must be growing since there has certainly been an increase in their routes and services offered. Go Airlink Shuttle seems like a great way for business travelers flying into town for part of a day to get from the airport to their meeting or conference without dealing with the hassle of finding a cab. Go Airlink Shuttle may also end up costing less, according to the quick prices I checked through their site.

Go Airlink Shuttle is authorized by the port authority of New York and New Jersey. They accept reservations online 24/7.

NYC Bus Charters Offer East Coast Transportation

Anil P. — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 07:00:51 +0000

NYC Bus Charters, which I’ve reviewed previously, offers trips for small groups of 9 to 57 persons up and down the east coast of the US.

Bus Charter NYC has routes from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina all the way up to Niagara Falls in Canada, as well as cities like Boston, and of course New York City along the way. Their website is fairly straightforward although I’d prefer to see clear prices or at least ranges for some of their most popular routes.

Taking a charter bus, over say popular competition like the Apex Bus, gives you the freedom to schedule and reserve an entire bus for day or multi-day trips. It’s more comfortable and with much less hassle than trying to book in advance with several friends on buses that may be booked, filled with strange people, and not available to the destinations at the times you’re looking for.

Booking on NYC Bus Charter will require a phone call to their offices in order to set aside reservations and get a price, which I mentioned above. You should consider NYC Bus Charters when traveling in a group to an event like a concert, parade, or gambling excursion in Atlantic City.

Improve Your Card Game Skills At Online-Casinos

Anil P. — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 06:00:08 +0000

Hone your poker, blackjack, and German skills at www.casino.de. The English version of the same website also gives you the opportunity to practice before a real game in a brick and mortar casino or virtually online.

Many of these ‘practice’ and free online gambling websites are of course, looking for you to join or play on their alternative actual stakes sites. I believe this is to get around legal limitations, especially in the United States, but that doesn’t make playing free online blackjack any less fun. Online Casinos (the English version of Casino.de) also offers tutorials teaching you the basics of the major casino games like roulette, poker, and craps.

Games are free to join and you can play against a computer or other humans online without worrying about losing a cent, since there is no money involved. Playing any of the games on Online-Casinos doesn’t require any registration or personal information and you can play as much as you like and join a hand any time of the day.

Online-Casinos is well laid out and all of the free games offered can be found along the sidebar on the right-hand side. It looks like the German version of the site has more game options so lerne Deutsch.

Develop Your Company’s IT Department with iCorps

Anil P. — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 06:00:06 +0000

iCorps is an information technology proivider for businesses in the New York and Boston areas. Founded in 1994 iCorps not only provides technical assistance but Boston and New York IT consulting as well.

iCorps’ website looks to be very accessible and although specific information is hard to find, it does a good job of laying down the basics. iCorps’ mission statement, contact information, and former clients can be easily found across the top header bar.

My guess is that iCorps is aiming for ‘larger-small’ businesses for clients and won’t really appeal or be practical for part-timers or individuals who run their own websites. Their prices withstanding, the company has a number of system administration, IT management, and security services. Potential customers can request a quote directly from iCorps’ website through a simple tool in the sidebar; their phone number is also prominently displayed.

The press, list of former clients, and well laid out website give iCorps a favorable impression and hopefully their customer service and prices are as accomodating as their homepage. They are open from 830am – 530pm Monday through Friday. For a quick look take a peek at iCorp’s company brochure, available for free download here [pdf].

Even if you’re not in need of their services, iCorps is currently accepting applications and has very good healthcare and vacation benefits.

Buy Select Cell Phones Without Contract Obligations At Grakomindo

Anil P. — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:00:33 +0000

One of Indonesia’s largest mobile phone retailers offers a large selection of cell phones for international customers, without contract obligations. Customers in the US can order hard to find phones from Grakomindo and still choose from most carriers.

Grakomindo is a sharp and well organized website that features a huge selection of Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung (among other) phones. Especially enticing about Grakomindo’s selection is that they have even typically hard to find mobiles like the Apple iPhone and Nokia N96. Most of the phones being offered at Grakomindo are tri-band, meaning they can be used in Europe and the US as well as in most other countries around the world.

Here in the US, cell phones are usually exclusive to a particular carrier, and to get the phone you want you need to sign a 1-2 year contract with a company you may not want to do business with. Grakomindo’s prices are typically much higher than buying cell phones tied to a plan (for you US customers) and you’ll have to decide if the trade-off for a select phone is worth it. Grakomindo offers a 90 day return policy, minus a 5% restocking fee on all orders. Their specific return rules are a bit tricky and I’d contact the company before purchasing.

NYC Bus Charters

Anil P. — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:30:19 +0000

New York Bus Charters offers experienced drivers and discounts for medium sized groups. The company specializes in transporting passengers to and from a variety of events.

The NYC Bus Charters looks pristine and are focused on helping you organize your event in the New York area. The website is well organized, although a bit thin on details, which most travelers looking for quick information tend to avoid. Quotes require contacting the company via email, making it difficult to gauge the prices for services offered.

Charter buses are a great way to plan a birthday trip to Atlantic City, amusement parks, or corporate events, all of which NYC Bus Charters offers. The buses, when booked, are completely private for parties of 9-57 persons. NYC Bus Charters offers routes in the northeast of the United States and destinations in Canada as well.

Day trips to Manhattan, Philadelphia, or Boston are available, as are multi-day tours Niagara Falls, Myrtle Beach, or Washington DC. You can see a list of their full offerings here. NYC Bus Charters can be reached through their contact page or direct phone number, both easily accessible on the company’s homepage.
