No Particular Place To Go - Chuck Berry

Going No Place

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Inaccurate brochure descriptions and apalling customer service

holiday we exchanged several letters and phone calls with Going Places regarding suitable offers of compensation. For a holiday that cost £450 each we were offered £50 in total. The process of complaining became so tiresome that we did not end up even accepting that. Overall I was shocked and disappointed with the appalling customer service of such a well known and established company. I have refused to book through them since. ...

Chuck Berry--A Duck Walkin' Guitar Legend

Advantages: Great rock 'n roll by a guitar legend
Disadvantages: None

Chuck Berry's tribute to Elvis Presley, complete with a jumped up beat and a rocking guitar line. Memphis was one of his most famous tunes, while Back In The USA has been covered by numerous artists--one of the most memorable (and unlikely) was Linda Ronstadt. Little Queenie lets Chuck Berry show off his rock 'n roll guitar skill, while Bye Bye Johnny was another tune loosely based on the career of Elvis Presley. Nadine was a bluesy tune, complete with a powerful horn section, while Carol had distinct pop overtones (if you get a chance, check out John Lennon's cover of Carol on the BBC Sessions--it's really a treat). Sweet Little Sixteen is one of Chuck Berry's most endearing numbers, while No Particular Place To Go captured the imagination of a generation with its' wandering, carefree theme. As the title indicates, there are twenty ...

I'm Going Places This Year, Are You

Advantages: Good value for money, excellent deals, very helpful staff.
Disadvantages: Have to buy own food. Might have go tit cheaper if booked at last minute.

I have waited to post this opinion until I had actually booked the holiday, which I did this morning. I wasn’t going to post it first and let you lot beat me to the Travel Agents! Ha! There aint no flies on carolinesite ;-) Firstly, after writing my opinion about a cruise I had in 1995, I felt I wanted another holiday like that. I picked up a few brochures from the Going Places shop, and sat down with a cup of coffee. I was horrified at how much the prices had gone up in 6 years. They were asking about £1,000 per person for a weeks cruise and a week on land, compared to £650 in 1995. I know prices go up, but a 40% increase in 6 years is disgusting. I gave that idea up. Next, I looked through the Airtours Summer 2001 brochure. I was mainly looking for All Inclusive holidays, as they are good value for money. I wanted ...
