Please do give the video a like if you found it useful, as that will really help me and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. Thanks again for watching

@@Mikes_Travels thank you very much! I have one more question about weather, which month do you reccommened to visit Ahungalla, Sri Lanka. Which month do you were in Sri Lanka and what was the weather like, was it raining?

@SilviaKabátová No problem. Ahungalla is in the South West of Sri Lanka and the best time to visit this part is supposed to be December to March/April. We went and my videos were filmed in April. We were there for 10 days. It was overcast for 1 day and we had heavy rain one evening. I guess that you could get unlucky at any time though with the weather. Temperatures were in the 30 degrees most days and the day i visited Colombo, in my Colombo video it was in the very high 30s. If you have any more questions, please ask

Hello and thank you very much for watching

Hello and thank you very much for watching. I will be coming back to India for sure, as it is a beautiful country with lovely people, but I am not sure when that will be yet as I am still recovering from my accident

Thanks very much for your comment and for watching, much appreciated. If you could give the video a like, please, that would really help me grow my channel. Thanks again and all the best

@petergales6352 Thank you for watching and for your question. Please help me out and give the video a like, if you found it useful. Much appreciated. From what I understand, Tui provide complimentary hot, cold, soft and alcoholic drinks on Long haul flights. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks

Hi We went in April. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask All the best and thanks for watching

What is the best money to use there?

@garyridgway4547 We used Sri Lanka rupees that we got from the atm at the airport but the hotel also accepts US $ Hope that helps

Hope you have a great time If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask

Thank you for watching. Merry Christmas

That's one of my favourite ones too 😃 Thank you for watching

​@HannahBakewell-g5w Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas. Did you have a favourite?

@@lynnesalmon4034 Thank you for watching? What was your favourite window?

My fave was the one with the train track 🛤️🚂

@lynnesalmon4034 A great choice. That's in my top 3 😃

@barriekinsey4662 Thank you very much for your comment and for watching. To help me out, would you mind please giving the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it, as that will really help me with the TH-cam algorithm pushing the video to others who may like it Thank you again and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask

Hi Thank you for watching. We went mid to the end of April. If you do have any other questions from this video, or the ones I did from Udawalawe National Park or Colombo, if you watch those (which we did as day trips from the hotel), please don't hesitate to ask Thanks again

@Ste_365 I'm glad to hear they did that for you and that you had a great time. 👍 Hopefully, they will be prepared to do that for others too. It really is a lovely hotel It's always great to get feedback after people have visited, so thanks very much for taking the time to do that. Thanks again for watching the video and your feedback 😃

@USveteran83 Thank you for watching At JFK, follow the signs to AirTrain. When here, I took the route to Jamaica station. You pay for the AirTrain when you disembark at Jamaica station, which was about a 10 min journey. It runs 365 days per year. The journey now I believe is $8.50 to Jamaica. Once at Jamaica, you can buy a physical subway card if you want. You also have 2 choices. Either the subway or Long Island railroad. I chose the subway. You can ask what line when you pay for the AirTrain as I dont remember what line, but you want the line that goes to Penn Station. Once at Penn station it was about a 10 min walk along along 7th Avenue to Margaritaville Hotel. I hope that helps and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. If the video was helpful, please do give it a thumbs up as that will really help me. I have done a full review of Margaritaville Hotel on this channel that may be helpful and also other videos of things to see and do in New York Thanks again for watching

@ thank you so much for taking the time to answer! Your video was very helpful and we are coming from Los Angeles so it will be a long day of travel. I will save your directions and hopefully all will be smooth! Also, i did watch your review video of Margaritaville, it was very helpful and looks like the perfect location, thank you for taking the time to answer! 😄

​My pleasure and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. Happy holidays from the UK ​@@USveteran83

You are very welcome and hopefully you will. Thank you very much for watching

Hi Gary Thanks very much for watching The shops are not overly expensive considering it's in a hotel and the service is excellent. You can easily walk into Ahungalla (about 10 mins). Its only a small town, as you can imagine, but it has a number of little shops. I would seriously recommend Udawalawe National Park safari for the elephants as you get up close and personal with them and isn't one of those places where you bathe them and ride on them. They are in their natural habitat and it's lovely. I've done a video of that if you want to check it out and have also done a day trip video to Colombo which might also be worth watching If the video was helpful and you enjoyed it, please can you help me out by giving it a thumbs up Thanks again for watching and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask

Thanks a lot for your reply it is very helpful where is your other video and how long was the flight from the uk and that video you did was very detailed thank you

Thanks very much for your kind words. The videos are in my Sri Lanka playlist on my channel. If you go on to the channel and look at playlists you will find all the Sri Lanka ones in there as well as others from places I've been to. Ive also shared lots of info and money saving tips in those as well. Sri Lanka is an amazing country and we will be going back. Our flight to Sri Lanka was about 11 hours flying, but we also had a 2 hour stop over in Dubai to break up the journey. You can fly direct if you want to. Hope that helps @@garyridgway4547

Yes found it very nice did you book that through the hotel and I like the places you have been except West Ham 😄

Ha ha You are not a West Ham fan then? I've been a season ticket holder for many years even though i moved to rural Suffolk 5 years ago. Yes we went with Tui. He actually did us a deal that was cheaper then Tui's advertised price for the Safari and also included a beautiful lunch and visit to Galle that you can see in my Galle video 👍

Thank you and thank you for watching

That's really kind of you and thank you for your kind words. I'm glad it brought back some memories for you. Thank you very much for watching and for the thumbs up/Like. Much appreciated

@ЕвлампийИванов-э2р Thank you for watching. Please do give the video a like if you enjoyed it, as that will really help my channel to grow. East Anglia is a region in the East of England and consists of 3 counties (England is divided into areas called counties.) East Anglia consists of the counties of Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk. Its named after ancient people called the The Angles. They were one of the main Germanic peoples who settled in Great Britain in the post-Roman period. Thanks again for watching As you say, there is a lot of similarities with some languages.

They are doing a lot of work locally to restore a lot of the coral and guests can get involved with the local marine biologists in the work if they want, which is good to see

@@Mikes_Travels Sorry Mike, I have to strongly disagree. I've been lucky enough to visit and work in the Maldives for a few decades. Believe me, when you say "They are doing a lot of work locally to restore a lot of the coral"........... "and guests can get involved with the local marine biologists in the work" is a very one dimensional view of things. The Hotels/Resorts/Islands whatever you choose to call them, have used the Reefs demise to promote their business. It's now a standard thing to have a 'Marine Biologist' on resort and have Tourists 'Plant Coral'. Some Hotels/Resorts/Islands even charge Tourists to be a part of the Ecology program ($100 a day with a 'Marine Biologist' to plant Coral). It's all about money over there and like many other Island Nations, it never filters down to the Islanders/Natives. The Western Theme/Agenda is "You better go the there before it's underwater" is also a shameful narrative. The investmant from the far east (China) in the last 10 years is mind boggling and on a somewhat smaller scale the US in Hotels/Resorts/Islands tells it's own story.

It's definitely a spectacle everyone should see if they have the chance. Thank you for watching

Hi Thanks for watching. Hope you found the video useful. Please do give it a like if you did as that will really help me. The cheapest, easiest and best way to get rupees was at the atm as you come out of departures at the airport. Remember, though, to not let them do the conversion otherwise you won't get the best rate. You can ask the currency exchange (also as you come out of departures) to swap for smaller notes if that helps, or just buy a snack in the shop to get change. The hotel can also break notes down for you, but they limit the amount. I don't know if you are going by Tui. We did and our transfer was a private car with just me and my wife and it took about 1 hour 20 for the transfer. The tuk tuk's are so cheap that they usually only take cash. I don't know if you saw my Colombo video in the playlist, where I got a tuk tuk from the hotel to the train station. I recommended a guy on that video (and stated his wattsapp number). He was really good and helpful. It's a good day out. A must do also is Udawalawe National Park for the elephants. Again, there is a video of that in the playlist and it really is amazing. The hotel really is lovely and we will be going back. Something we rarely do. Have an amazing time and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask

@ovy6136 Thank you for watching and for your comments. Much appreciated. I guess it depends on what you are looking for, eg, more shops and choices to eat etc at Sanford. Sanford is closer as you say, but with Melbourne, you don't have the crowds, the queues and the longer waiting times you do at Sanford. From my experience of both, I'd rather have the quicker in and out. Whilst Sanford is closer, I've found from experience that there is no time saving in travelling to and from Sanford, due to traffic, parking wait times etc. Be interested in your opinion once you've done both Thanks again for watching

@Mikes_Travels Sanford and Orlando International are two different airports . UK airlines stopped flying there 2 yrs ago despite only being 40 miles from internatial drive and was a quick drive. Orlando International is about 8 miles from international drive , it's busier but still quicker than from Melbourne where the average drive now is heading towards 2 hrs with traffic unless you hit lucky.

@ovy6136 Sorry I meant Orlando International. I've flown into Florida about 10 times from the UK and most of that over the years has been to Sanford. I've also been in and out of Orlando International and always found Melbourne quicker. Guess I've been lucky. For me it's not necessarily the journey time, it's the hassle free, relaxed environment and hardly any queuing. Thanks for your comments

Thank you very much. Really appreciate that and your support. Thanks for watching

You are very welcome. Thank you for your kind comments, which I'm sure others will also find useful. Please do give the video a thumbs up like if you don't mind, as it will help the TH-cam algorithm to push it to other people who may find it useful. I've also posted videos of Disney Springs and the parks on this channel, which also includes restaurants, snacks and prices that I think you will also find useful As I said on the video, we have stayed previously at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Caribbean Beach resort and I guess the most pronounced thing for me is how you are treated as a guest at the value resorts compared to others. Even down to the fact that you can't get a dairy alternative for your coffee at a value resort if you have an allergy or intolerance, but can at others. Something for example that Disney should change. Having said that, if you are simply using it as a base to visit the parks, taking advantage of the transport, it does a perfectly good job and offers most things you will need. Im sure as a regukar Disney visitor, you will know this but, food and drink is expensive in the hotel and parks and it might be worth getting a cab or if you hire a car, visiting a Wallmart or similar place to stock up for drinks and snacks. The reusable cup for in the hotel is a good value purchase to continually refill hot and cold drinks. You can take these to the parks, but you can't refill them in there. Have a great trip and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks again for watching

Thanks very much for watching and for your comment. It will help those travelling from Manchester as well. 👍

@Isleofskye thanks for watching and thanks for your comment and the like as it really helps my channel 👍 I'm not sure if any Hammers fans, including me, are happy at our new stadium. We seem to have lost our identity as a club to the corporates and tourists sadly. All the best
