travel, hotel and booking Information

Hotel Booking When a call came in to the ambulance corps reporting someone had been injured near the bay at Napatree Point, the perfect rescue vehicle was just miles away. With the aid of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) commonly used to patrol the beaches in May and September, rescue workers were able to reach the man and quickly get him medical attention, Misquamicut Fire Chief Louis Misto said.

A new website has launched which uses London Underground stations as points of reference to create maps of London hotels. TubeHotels.com is equally useful to both London residents as well as tourists with detailed maps of hotel locations relative to Underground stations. Upon finding a hotel in the right location, users can view hotel descriptions and photos to ensure that the hotel meets their requirements. Having found the right hotel in the right location, TubeHotels helps users find the right price by linking to several hotel reservations companies allowing quick price comparison to get the best deal.

Travel Agency The vehicle travels well on the sand and has two front seats and a small flatbed in the back that allows rescue workers to easily transport the injured to an ambulance. Originally purchased by the Beach Safety Commission with donations, the ATV was being kept at the town garage until last summer, when Misto lobbied the town to allow the Misquamicut Fire Department to house the vehicle.

Although travel agents have access to all of the same outlets you would use when looking to book travel, they also have access to exclusive pricing and package deals that are most times not available to the public. Your travel agent also has more leverage in helping out in situations such as hotels claiming to be booked, when in fact they may still have rooms available that are on hold for travel agents reservations. So when everyone else is telling you “No” your travel agent can help turn that to a “Yes.”

Cheap Hotel The ATV is being kept at the Misquamicut Fire Station on Crandall Avenue, and Misto says that's allowed rescuers to use it more than when it was being kept at the town garage.

Online Booking Eventually, Misto said, the fire department would like to get a trailer for the vehicle, which would allow them to transport it easily anywhere in town. As an example, Misto said, a trailer could be used to bring the ATV to the town forest if it were ever needed for a search.

Travel Health Insurance He said the trailer would cost about $1,000, but that he is reluctant to purchase a trailer while the town still has ownership of the vehicle. Misto said he would like to talk with Town Manager Joseph Turo about the possibility of transferring ownership of the ATV from the town to the Misquamicut Fire Department.
