InterGlobe Hotels, a joint venture between InterGlobe Enterprises and French hotel group Accor to develop a chain of hotels in India under the Ibis brand, has opened its first property in Gurgaon, which is fast emerging as IT and MNC hub on the national capital’s outskirts.

This is the first of a series of Ibis hotels the joint venture, launched in 2004, is developing in India.

The Ibis Gurgaon is located on the prominent Golf Course artery and features contemporary European styling, 217 rooms, an all-day dinning restaurant, a bar and meeting room.

“The hotel is uniquely positioned in the Indian hotel pricing spectrum and at Rs.4,400, is priced at less than half that of upscale hotels,” a company statement said.

“Ibis hotels in India will provide a value offer and will cater to the burgeoning business and leisure travellers in India. The brand espouses the values of quality, simplicity and value and will be positioned as the best value international hotels in India, for those consumers willing to trade off luxuries but not comfort,” the statement said.

“Casual and friendly, the hotels will feature an outstanding room with modular bathroom, quality food and beverage and a high-tech environment,” it added.

InterGlobe Hotels today has a further 11 Ibis hotels at various stages of development across India, adding up to 2,045 rooms and exceeding the initial short-term targets. Ibis hotels under development are located at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Mumbai and Pune. Ibis Mumbai and Pune are likely to be operational before mid 2009.

“InterGlobe Hotels has an active development programme for Ibis hotels in India and it is expected that another six Ibis hotel sites will be added in 2008,” the statement said.

The Ibis development project in India is part of a major expansion of the brand across the Asia Pacific region. Up to 200 Ibis hotels are planned for China, while Ibis is also growing strongly in Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea and Thailand.

Headquartered in Gurgaon, InterGlobe Enterprises has been adjudged as one of the Top 25 Best Work Places 2008 by Great Place to Work Institute. InterGlobe has a network of 52 offices across 23 cities in India, the US and Britain and employs close to 5,000 professionals across its businesses.

These include IndiGo, among India’s fastest growing low-fare airline; InterGlobe General Aviation that represents and services the entire line of HawkerBeechcraft products; development of hotels in partnership with the French major Accor; distribution of Travelport’s Galileo GDS; travel management for 16 international airlines and the Carnival Group’s entire line of cruises, amongst others.

What would happen if you do use it?

The interference from you cell phone sending waves to towers causes problems with the planes controls and functions which could result in a crash

—-

Cell phones are a special case that are forbidden the entire time the plane is in flight. The problem is that your phone may be connecting to dozens if not hundreds of towers simultaneously because of your super high elevation. The land-based cell phone system is designed to automatically detect which tower is receiving your strongest signal and ignore whatever portion of your signal is also arriving at nearby towers at a lower level.

Imagine what would happen if hundreds of airborne passengers flying over a given city tried to use their phones with each of them connecting to dozens of towers. The computers controlling the system would be overwhelmed with conflicts and nobody could talk - not even those with their feet on the ground.

What are the general delays for houston tomorrow? Right now its about 45 mins. So you have that Hurricane dolly that tore through there, will my flight be on time tomorrow around 11:00ish?

Tuna Fishing is regarded by anglers as one of the best adventures in the world. The waters off the Massachusetts coast are one of the best places in the world to find world-class tuna. There are charter boats that will take you out for a full day or half day excursion. Along the way you will visit places like Stellwagen Bank which is known worldwide for its large population of Blue fin Tuna.

Swimbaits are a type of lure that is commonly used on a tuna fishing charter. They are essentially just plastic or rubber “fish shaped” bodies rigged on a jig head. Some swimbaits are the type where the body is separate from the jig head and must be rigged by the angler. This allows versatility in jig head size along with the ability to re-use the jig head with other baits and colors. Some types of lures come either pre-rigged or with the jig head “built-in” to the body of the bait. These lures are extremely versatile and can be used in a wide variety of fishing conditions. They are ideal because they will catch any fish that feeds on other fish, shrimp, crabs, crawfish, etc.

This is going to be a a family thing so there are going to be 8 adults and two 1 year olds. We would need to leave from Galveston, Texas. Date is unknown right now but looking at Sept., Dec., or Jan. Where can I get the best deal because we be poor. I heard there is a boat that is better for people with motion sickness.

I can help…. Sept is the best - because of hurricane season and kids are in school. Rates look pretty good. You can sometimes squeeze in on a last minute state special…or a past guest. Check out my website -then you can email us for a quote. We find great deal

I guess im sceptical just because I have a fear of flying.

Statistically by far air travel is a winner hands down, you have a much higher chance driving to the local grocery store of being in an accident..

The fear is from not having any control over the vehicle. Nowadays they will stay grounded for any weather problem at all, so you’re in good hands, I fly all the time and usually I’m asleep before we even take off

……….

It is scary flying I know! But you have more chance of being in a car crash than in a plane accident. Flying isn’t actually that bad if you just don’t worry about it, drink plenty of fluids ( i like to drink Tomato Juice as it hydrates me a lot) and just watch films or listen to music. Enjoy the beautiful view outside! That makes me feel a bit better

………..

It IS the safest way to travel … however, I’ve thought about this as well ..

when you’re on the ground, cars, trains, buses, whatever, and you get into an accident, chances are the severity of the accident won’t be bad enough to cause any serious or permanent damage .. chances are the vehicle will take the brunt of the punishment … in other words, incidents/accidents are at a much higher rate with cars, trains, etc., but chances are you’ll survive ..
even with air travel being as safe as it is, if there’s an incident in the air, chances of survival are so minimal that it’s not even worth it to hope .. that’s why you’re afraid of air travel … try to take your mind off of it by reading or listening to placid music … honestly, it’s not something you’ll shake off, but if you have to fly, there are ways to deal with it ..

here’s another suggestion .. if you’re flying early in the morning or late at night or if your flight is long (4 hours or longer) try asking your doctor to prescribe a few fast acting Ambien for you … you’ll be out like a light and let your worries subside in your dreams

London is known for its history, culture, shopping, dining and much more. The London vacation packages that are available online offer the best way to get the most out of your trip. There are a variety of optional tours to complement your London stay or you can explore on your own.

The underground, or ‘tube’ traverses the city making it easy to get from one destination to the next. Trafalgar Square makes for an ideal starting point as it is central to many locations. You can travel through Piccadilly Circus, the core of London, then see the 17th and 18th century squares of Bloomsbury. Take your time as you meander through Regent’s Park and Hampstead, on to the streets of the city’s lovely residential areas in Knightsbridge and Belgravia. If you are feeling hungry, why not stop at a café in Covent Garden or Soho. One of the best ways to connect with the local culture on any of the cruise specials is to mingle with the city dwellers in any of the cities local pubs. If theater is more your style, London’s West End offers an array of fine theater performances.

Italy vacation packages offer many of the same luxuries. The “Unbelievable Italy” package covers 10 days and hits all the countries hot spots. You will start in Rome, exploring the Etruscan tombs, early Christian churches, medieval bell towers, and baroque basilicas.

1. SHANGHAI
2. i think it’s New York.
3. Mumbai
4. Mumbai
5. Out of the city you have mentioned Tokyo is more populated. London is better to live.
6. New York - 8,250,567

   Tokyo - Yokohama - 35,000,000

   London - 7,500,000

   Mumbai - 13,000,000

   New York or London would be the best to live in. They speak English there. (Well, at least in London.)

7. Even though by next year more than half of the world population will be … it said adding Mumbai is the most densely populated city in the world with 29650 …
8. Mumbai of course.
9. Its 1 and only
   Mumbai.

1. It may sound cheesy but I went up to the Gold Coast and went on this boat ride called the “Scream Machine” and sat right at the front and it was truly so scary I thought I was going to die.

   The boat literally surfs waves, and when you’re at the front you lift right out of the water and slam back down - we weren’t strapped in and I was sure I was going to fall out or we were going to flip or something.

2. Canyoning in the Blue Mountains is awesome fun Grant.

   Or head to Thredbo during the summer and do some downhill mountain biking. Yeah man, can you handle it????

3. Hi Grant
   I tried white water rafting for the first time in Cairns, Qld and it was the best time I’ve ever had.
   I’d also like to try hanggliding at Stanwell Tops, NSW.
4. How about staying home with your girlfriend and relax with her and both your families for a couple of weeks and then go on an adrenaline rush together. After all the excitement, both of you can wind down together. But being together is an adrenaline rush anyway.
5. Thrill… Go four wheel driving at Mt Cole with my two sons… That will put you to the test…Or you could be game enough to go motor bike riding with them……
6. aw jeez u guys are all just jealous! Grant u are a true sweetie and id recommend going to Airlie Beach. I spent 12 months up there and its heaven on a stick.
7. Hi Grant,

   Ignore the haters! I personally love sharing my holiday experiences of our great country to enable others to get out there & have a good look around!

   The biggest adrenaline rush holiday I have had was to The Horizontal Water Falls in Northwest Western Australia. I flew by seaplane from Broome to Talbot Bay where we were offloaded to a mother ship, then onto jet boats to explore the Falls. For those who are unaware the Horizontal Falls are caused by the volume of water rushing out at the turn of the tide through a small space between two pieces of land. Due to the height produced by the force of the water it appears to drop thereby giving the impression of a water fall.

   At this particular place there are huge whirlpools and danger is imminent as you are in crocodile & shark infested waters! I actually was lucky enough to join a private catamaran here & explore the coast between Talbot Bay & Broome over a ten day period. This part of the coastline is unaccessable by road.

   It was the best experience I’ve had travelling around this awesome country we call home - I say “we are so lucky to have such a beautiful backyard, why go overseas?”

8. Margret river in WA has lot of treacherous surf, It’s good place for surfers of any skill level.
9. Have you tried the theme parks on the Gold Coast. There is also The Big Pineapple on the Sunshine Coast. Also there is the Whitsunday Islands just north of Mackay in North Queensland. I hope this will help you with your Australian holiday.
10. Do a trip around on a motorbike anywhere in Oz. I recommend coastal roads to start for some good hair raising experiences not to mention superb views. From Sydney head South through the National Park and keep going through some awesome riding through Stanwell park and over Seacliff bridge. Go through Gerringong to Nowra. Ride down to the B23 at Cann River and follow up to Cooma. Head out to Kiandra and take the road across the mountains to Khancoban. Head off to Bright. Then head towards the Great Ocean Road etc etc etc. This gets you to multiple destinations and you get the thrill on the way.
11. A J Hackett bunjee jumping at Kuranda just out of Cairns. Once that elastic snaps back and you realise you’re not going to die it is the biggest rush ever
12. For a once in a life-time experience, where your heart literally ends up in your mouth, head for Tasmania and bungee jump and abseil off the Gordon-Franklin Dam Wall.

    It is a distance of approx 140metres!

    Then there is always Cradle Mountain, jet boating, etc, etc.

    No rest for the wicked!

13. Grant i would have to recommend the driver training and V8 racing at Mallala raceway in South Australia
14. Just go swimming to Byron Bay, in the Central Coast of NSW. You are going to be chased by sharks of all types. Full adrenaline mate. Good luck!
15. Try driving through the brisbane trafic everyday.
    On the roads these days is like going to dreamworld but without the fun.
16. i hear king cross is full of thrills and if you want an adrenaline rush go to victoria and just glance at a police officer sideways…the consequences are sure to get your heart pumping…only hope it continues.
    best wishes.
17. It has to be Stand up padlesurfing in Byron Bay. Just think of the Adrenalin rush when you are getting circled by sharks. Happens at least once a month.
18. I too love an adrenaline rush

    Personally though, a great holiday destination for thrill seekers would be the Dancing with the Stars studio
    but if you don’t have much time, it’s hard to go past the Sunrise set
    trying to mingle with the crowds for the longest possible time withour being recognised is quite a heart-starter

19. Anywhere but the Lower Murray-
    Im sick of all the speedboats ruining my weekends
    How would u people feel if I came and spent my weekends and holidays making a huge noise in your backyard and leaving it covered in litter and mess?
20. I’d watch out for the Boxing Day sale at Myers in Melbourne. Egad you can lose a limb in the twinkling of an eye.
21. Hi! This is awesome, you’re famous, hey! Cool.
    Well I’m from South Australia, in the country, I love it, but I went to Canberra on a school trip not long ago, and for a short but sweet adrenaline rush, go to Questacon!!
    It is the best! Like 4 levels of fun science games, and you learn great things along the way. That or going crazy places on 4 wheelers! Maybe you should go to the Riverland next year, they have like drag races every year, you should feature in one of them! We don’t get alot of excitement these days.
    Love your work Grant!
    Have fun!!
22. Arrnhem Land,,dont know if we’ll see you again bro,,thats the thrill of it ay,……… ???
23. Hi Grant, Hmmm, serious Question? maybe, maybe not but tell me, if you choose the best answer does that person get to come with you for the adrenalin rush? if not then try my back yard cause its a real rush everytime I go out there..never know if I am gong to make it back from the jungle!
24. Nude Olympic will be such a thrill for you… I know you like dare!!! Go for it, Grant…
25. Hi Grant,

    There is always heaps of places to go to around Australia, Check out each state, and see what they can offer.

    Parachute jumping , Rally Driving - Skydiving , Abseiling ,
    SWimming with Sharks etc.

    Check the different theme park added attractions , well worth the extra money .

    There is so much in Australia , I dont know why people pay big money to go around the world to do things , when they can do it all here in Australia for alot cheaper.

26. Just go North and see where you end up, it’s all an adventure up there
27. Well… Sidney, Canberra, Melbourne, Newcastle and Temora. Actually, I do not know any of these cities, but say they are the most beautiful and rich landscapes in cities in Australia. Perhaps, someday, when I have a lot of money, I go to some these places.
28. go swimming with the crocodiles nah go jumping off skyscrapers or something
