Should we cancel our Thailand/Phuket trip? My boyfriend and I have booked a 8 day trip to Phuket and 2 nights in Bangkok in February of next year; with all the terrorist threats around popular tourist destinations in Thailand we are becoming a bit anxious and are considering cancelling our trip because we won't enjoy it when we are a bit fearful for our safety. I'm just wondering what our other options would be; like beautiful beach getaways. We are losing $550 that we have deposited and our prior booking was aimed at about $5500 all together including flights, insurances, accommodation including food, tours and transfers. So so sad on missing out on the Phi Phi Island beauty. Is there anywhere else that anyone could recommend within the same price limit and similar beautiful lifestyle; e.g. Fiji, Samoa or elsewhere ??

reading this plss help me 2 write a conclusion and summary on Tourism...................? Tourism is travel for predominantly recreational or leisure purposes or the provision of services to support this leisure travel. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited". Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2006, there were over 846 million international tourist arrivals. Tourism is vital for many countries such as Egypt, Thailand and many island nations such as Fiji, due to the large intake of money for businesses with their goods and services and the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated with tourism. These service industries include transportation services such as cruise ships and taxis, accommodation such as hotels and entertainment venues, and other hospitality industry services such as resorts.

Do you think I have any chance of getting in? Be honest.

Can someone who was home schooled get into college? with a record like this? I applied to Florida State University as my first choice, and as I get closer to finding out if I got in, I'm getting more and more nervous. Do you think I had a chance? My grades for high school were all A's. I have 4 credits of math (up to pre-cal), 4.5 of English, 5 of social science, 5 of natural science (with labs), and 2 of French. I also studied a number of electives such as home ec/life skills, music theory, health, programming and robotics, digital design, art, and sign language. FSU requires that home schoolers submit a syllabus for each course studied in high school to explain course content and list materials used, and we made these very detailed. On top of that, I'll be graduating high school with at least 18 college credits behind me already (CHM2025, CHM2025L, HUM2930, PSY2012, SYG1000, ARH1051, and one more that hasn't been chosen yet). So far after my first semester I have all A's at the college I'm duel enrolled in. I scored a 1930 on the SAT. 680 in reading, 730 in writing, and 520 in Math. My math score isn't great, but there were circumstances surrounding that. the College Board didn't provide the appropriate accommodations on my test (I'm legally blind) and I couldn't see the numbers and figures on the math portion of the test. I am planning on retaking it with the proper accommodations, but I wont be able to before the final application deadline. My resume is as follows.

FSU encourages homeschoolers to submit, along with the syllabuses and transcript, anything that the homeschool representative believes will give FSU a better idea of the student's academic ability, so we'll be sending my updated resume along with my yearly homeschool evaluations and my unofficial transcript from the college (they'll of course get the official one later on). I'm also going to send along some of my best essays and other work samples, and I have a few people who said they would send letters of reference for me. Can you think of anything else I can do? Do you think I have any chance of getting in? Be honest.
