Bird watching holiday??? That's an idea there. It's a very specific type of vacation/tour and we will have to research this in the future. Generally we use people who are general experts in the countries the packages are in. I am not sure how it would be done in ASL due to all the...

With respect to AD, I am not sure whether I can name my tour business here but wanted to reach out to the AD community and ask you a few questions to help improve our packages. We lead escorted adventure tours for the deaf and hard of hearing. Our first question is how many people do you...

Going to Costa Rica in Feb 2013 UNY Thanks for the terrific reply. It's been a while since I visited alldeaf but I am thrilled to announce to everyone that my company is going to CR next month. It is our first tour and we are staying in San Jose and Puerto Viejo. It's a simple 8 day...

I wanted to reach out to you and see what software you use for your webcam, both for video calls and for recording. The reason I am asking is because I am experiencing a lag when recording my signs. I have two computers, ASUS and HP. The HP appears to be fine but the software is lousy. The...

If you want, I will look into this for you. If you don't mind, give me a rough budget and number of nights and I can give you a "rough" idea of what you can do for your budget with Costa Rica.

Are there deaf groups in your area that you can meet up with like coffee socials?

You can always set up a price alert on Kayak. I have been able to find flights from Newark/LaGuardia to Vegas for $300 round trip. Just a suggestion. Airlines literally change their prices every week if not every day. It all depends on the day you are traveling out there or not. The...

I am a property manager so I have to deal with similar situations regarding our rentals. Bottom line is that if it is not in writing, the best thing you can do is inform the buyer that it is a first-come, first-serve basis. That means you are not guaranteeing the product will be available. If...

Hey everyone, glad to hear from yall. Feel free to let me know where in the world you are, not your home address but state or country would be cool. I am in Pennsylvania right now but lived all over.

May I ask where you would be traveling from? It's actually pretty cheap depending on your needs. For example, round trip airfare from Miami can be as low as $250 and a lot of resorts includes transfers from San Jose to the lodges (up to four hour drive away) along with meals. It all depends...

Right now, we are researching into Costa Rica among a few other places so there are a few questions we could use your help on. Who has been to Costa Rica? What was your favorite place in Costa Rica? Does anyone know how to contact deaf people down there? If you haven't been there, why...

There's actually a deaf tour company in Vietnam, I forget the name but they can give you some ideas.

The prices for B&Bs are higher because they have less rooms. For example, 6 rooms versus a 200 room chain hotel so naturally the operating costs for staff, maintenance, advertising, etc... will be higher per room. B&Bs are about the charm, the character of the place you are staying. It is a...

It depends on what kind of activities you want to do. If you want to check out sites, there is the Alligator Farm. Other than that, it's mostly theme parks. However there are plenty of tour companies that offer day trips to the coast and one-night trips to the Everglades if you enjoy that...

What was your favorite part of the trip? Name the top five sites you enjoyed. I am curious.
