Spray Fungicide During Full Bloom?
This is my first year growing apple trees, so I apologize for what must be an obvious answer to others. Can you (or should you) spray fungicide (eg, Bonide Fruit and Nut Spray) during full bloom? We had a lot of rain yesterday, so it seems like the right time to do it, but for the blooms.
Thank you!!
Fungicides intended for use on rust and scab can generally be applied at full bloom, but you should read the Bonide label before even posting this question. If it is, in fact, an all purpose pre-mix (good for nothing, in the case of Bonide, IMO) the label will explain how to use it and what all it allegedly controls.
I suggest you search this site for recent questions on spray programs- I believe you will quickly find important info.
Did you read the label on that copper?
For apples, Immunox (myclobutinal )is probably your best option and you may need to go to the internet for it. As long as you get it on by petal fall and once more 2 weeks latere it should be more than adequate.
Please check advice given here within last 5 weeks regarding spray schedule.
Thank you all! I was hoping to use products I already owned to spray, but I see now I should just buy the right product. Is this the correct one that doesn't have insecticide?
And harvestman, thank you for directing me to the spray schedules. I did look at them but wasn't able to follow them exactly because I didn't have the same products. I'll just buy them and use the correct products though.
Thank you!
Clorathalinal is not active against apple scab and cedar apple rust and is primarily used for stonefruit in the orchard-although it can't really be used for brown rot because the label won't let you spray late enough. Great for peach leaf curl and peach scab though.
Can you link the Cornell page where they mention chlorothalonil for apple scab and CAR?
Chlorothalonil is not labeled for apples in any formulation I'm aware of. There isn't even a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) of chlorothalonil for apples, which would indicate it's not approved for use on apple. All pesticides have an MRL for labeled fruits.
I believe Cornell's rec to use the product on apples is either a misprint, or they are referring to ornamental crab apples (Chlorothalonil is labeled for ornamental crabs.)
Well, I learned something. I assumed that because I've never, in over 25 years of commercial spraying, heard of using Bravo on anything but stone fruit in an orchard that it wouldn't be affective on anything in the orchard but stone fruit. I am quite surprised that such a widely used fungicide wouldn't have received approval for use as an early apple fungicide if it works and is approved for treating CAR and scab in crabs.
I learn something new every day and forget something and a half.
The thing is, before I started using Immunox in 2011, chlorothalonil is what I was using for CAR and scab.
I didn't use captan, because of the oil spray. Didn't use lime sulphur or copper after green tip. Somehow, I got the idea that chlorothalonil was what to use, but now I can't exactly recall where I saw that.
I use Immunox now because I think it's the best product available to me, but not because I ever saw anything about chlorothalonil not being used for apples.
The assumptions we make ...
Thank you all for your very helpful input! I ordered the Immunox and it just arrived tonight. The label doesn't mention any temperature limits or how long to wait to spray after rain (it only says to respray if it rains after spraying).
I would like to spray tomorrow night, when it would be about 50 degrees and 12 hours after a long rain. Is this OK?
Thank you much!
I never respray myclo (Immunox) after raining beyond the normal cycle. It cannot wash off and once it sets is not affected by rain. That label seems odd to me- it must mean if it rains shortly after spray- the fungicide is a systemic and within an hour of good drying conditions penetrates the tissue of a tree where it can't be washed off.
It could also mean that you don't need to spray again until rain makes fungicide necessary- but that wouldn't be for almost 14 days later when you factor in kick back and post spray protection.
I have been using a 10-14 day interval, rain or shine, for over 20 years with that stuff, many sites, many, many susceptible trees and always get the bad guys.
You don't have to worry about temp- with oil you don't want to spray anything green close to either side of a freeze but that's on the label. With most pesticides, cool temps don't matter.

The NYSIP's Frank Morano believes Lohan could bid for New York City Public Advocate--a position next in line to the mayor--which links the electorate and city government.
Morano writes, "As Albany is currently a cesspool of corruption, badly in need of reform, you may also want to consider a bid for the state legislature.
"Many celebrities have made the transition from Hollywood to politics, ranging from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura to Sonny Bono and Ronald Reagan. Few if any, though, had the enormous potential that you possess."

I ordered this product a couple weeks ago based on all of the rave reviews. I was having a disastrous time with my skin -- blackheads, cystic acne, whiteheads under the skin, you name it. At first, I wasn't super impressed. It's certainly not an overnight cure -- after a couple days' use I didn't really notice a difference. But, after using it for a couple weeks, I am seeing an improvement in general tone and texture of my skin as well as a reduction in blemishes. They aren't totally gone yet, but I'm pretty sure I've narrowed that down to the moisturizer I've been using. I'm optimistic that this will continue to work, and I'll likely purchase again. It can be a little drying, so I'm definitely on the hunt for a moisturizer to follow up with.4
I have sensitive combination soon so finding the right face wash can be tricky. I was attracted to this one from Origins because it us ingredient conscious and can help control oil without overdoing it. It does exactly that! My skin is noticeably better after about a week of use. Only a drop or so is needed and I use it 1-2x daily with my Clarisonic so it also seems like it will last me a long time. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention my favorite part - it's wonderfully refreshing and minty! This is my new go to cleanser.5
I'm happy with this cleanser. It is gentle and makes my skin feel fresh and clean. The only thing I wish about this product is that it removed eye makeup more effectively. I know that's not it's purpose, but if I'm going to have a face wash, I hope that it takes everything off.4
Origins makes great products! This is an essential addition to any skin care routine. Over the years my combination skin has broken out especially when stressed. This clears any issues up quickly, without irritation and best of all no red blotchy patches. I highly recommend it.4
Wow!! I have to say, if you have bad, oily, or acne prone skin, seriously buy this now!! I've had trouble skin since I was a teen and I am 35 now. I bought this about a month ago, been using it twice a day and the difference is incredible. The blackheads are almost completely gone, I have NO oily shine ever anymore and breakouts, lol, what breakouts!! Woohoo!! I notice my skin seems to get bad again if I stop using it, but I am a origins girl for life now lol =) I can't say buy this fast enough!5
This face wash smells great, reduces the redness in my skin/acne scars and washes off my makeup well. I don't think it has as much acne medication and I would prefer in a face cleanser though. Keeps my t-zone dry all day and overall my skin doesn't ever feel too dry even in the winter.4
I have been through a lot of products over the years in a battle to keep my skin clear and healthy. This face wash is hands down the most effective I've ever used. I've been using it for over a month now, and originally bought it to combat some serious breakouts I was starting to get. This totally got my skin under control. It's not drying and I love that it is oil-free since my skin can get pretty slick some days; I'm glad to not have any added oils from my face wash. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone who suffers from breakouts and/or oily skin. The bonus is the fresh clean smell. It's great.5

ATM Spews Cash In Glasgow, Scotland
By editor
Originally published on Tue November 20, 2012 9:38 am
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Does technology enrich our lives? This weekend in Glasgow, Scotland, it did. A Bank of Scotland ATM was dispensing cash at double the amount requested. Lines formed around the block until the police came. The bank says it's unlikely they'll try to get their money back. And they apologize for, quote, "any inconvenience caused." We suspect no apologies needed. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I do not like is the function of coffee maker. water spill from side and make a water mess in my stove also the coffee come out like water, so light, and the metal inside lid turn rusty from the first time i use it.Read More
Not as wonderful as expected
I love the Mr. Coffee milk frother it works just great and gives wonderful creamy froth. No so happy with the espresso maker. First it came with plastic parts broken off the handle. No instructions in the box, but hey it's not rocket science to run. The pressure valve leaked where it was connected to the base and it leaked around the bottom seal no matter how tight I made it. I have used it several times and it appears that the bottom seal is working better each time I use it. The pressure valve is not leaking as much and I am wondering if minerals from the water are starting to sort of fill in the space and seal it off a bit. It is a cute little espresso maker, but I think a lower quality then some of the others. Anyway because it was a package deal with the frother, I am keeping it until it croaks and then will probably buy a more expensive model.Read More

Coffee Table Fact Sheet
Coffee tables aren't limited to holding coffee cups and oversize books. A popular piece of furniture, the coffee table may be in the living room, den or recreation room, or on the patio: anywhere people using a sofa and chairs may gather and require space to place a beverage or plate.

Diamond Cuts Fact Sheet
A diamond's cut is crucial in displaying the stone's quality. The cut refers to the way a diamond has been shaped and the precise facets of the gemstone. The cut is an important aspect to consider because a good cut can beautify an imperfect diamond and highlight the merits of an excellent gem, while a bad cut can ruin a gorgeous stone. Diamond facets must be cut precisely and symmetrically, so the stone can sparkle. You can choose from various diamond shapes, and different cuts complement different pieces of jewelry. As one of the 4 C's of buying diamonds, cut is an important thing to understand when you're shopping for diamond jewelry.

What to Pack for Africa's Highest Peak
Imagine that you are planning a trip that will take you from the equator to Antarctica in seven days. Now imagine that you have to limit the amount of gear you pack to 35 pounds or less. The task is getting more complicated. What kind of luggage would you choose and how would you pack for a trip that encompasses such extreme changes in climate and altitude? When Erica Davis, a paraplegic athlete, and Tara Butcher, a physically challenged athlete, climb Africa's highest peak, they will have to answer exactly those questions. The challenge: Mount Kilimanjaro rises from nearly sea level all the way up to 19,330 feet. The trail climbs from the hot bushland through rain forest, moorland, alpine desert and arctic glaciers up to the rocky Uhuru peak. A climb like Mt. Kili presents special challenges when it comes to luggage, clothing and gear. Being prepared for the weather and temperature extremes is a necessity, but it's also important not to pack too much. There is a 35-pound weight limit to each piece of luggage carried by a porter. Most climbers pack one 35-pound capacity bag to go up with a porter and one small daypack to carry up themselves. The daypack: Erica and Tara will have 7 days to summit Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro. As they pass from one ecological zone to the next, their needs will change and so will the contents of their daypacks. Each day Erica and Tara will repack their daypacks in anticipation of the specific challenges of the day's journey. In general, their daypacks will include things like water, snacks, dry clothing, waterproof gear and sunscreen. The importance of keeping clothing and gear dry cannot be overstated. When choosing a daypack, a small to medium backpack made of lightweight, moisture-resistant material that comes with a removable waterproof shell will be ideal. It's also helpful if the backpack has convenient access to a water bottle compartment or can accommodate a water bladder. Plenty of pockets, zipper compartments and hooks are also handy. What to pack: A sturdy but lightweight water-repellant duffel bag with a capacity of about 35 pounds is ideal for the trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The bag needs to have room for plenty of layers of breathable, moisture-wicking clothing and layers of fleece clothing, as well as a waterproof layer. To save space, it's a good idea to pack clothing that does double duty, such as pants that easily convert into shorts. Aside from clothing, the climb will also require accessories like sunglasses, hats and gloves, plus equipment like trekking poles and a headlamp, as well as toiletries like sunscreen, insect repellent and a first-aid kit. Support the Challenged Athletes Foundation: Overstock.com and the C.H.E.K Institute are co-sponsoring Erica and Tara's climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in order to raise awareness for athletes with physical challenges who wish to participate and compete in sports. Portions of the proceeds will benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). CAF raises funds to give physically challenged athletes the opportunity to stay active and competitive in the sports they love. To show your support for physically challenged athletes like Erica and Tara, donate now to the Challenged Athletes Foundation for the Fit 4 Kili Climb.

This relatively straightforward substitution can toss a few curve balls at would-be decorators unless they do their homework. Take a look below to learn how to use ottomans for coffee tables.
How to Create a Global Look with Home Accessories
A collection of treasures from around the world can make your home feel more interesting and profess your love of travel. Even if you haven't had the opportunity to visit the pristine beaches of the Caribbean and the architecture of Roman cathedrals, you can still create a global look that relies on decorative accessories found around the world.
Best Features of an Electric Kettle
If you drink a lot of tea or make several cups of French press coffee each day, then you need a quick, efficient way to boil water. Boiling water in the microwave can be a hassle; you have to use specific dishes and figure out just how long it takes for the water to boil. Boiling water on the stove takes a long time, and it isn't convenient for anyone on the go. It might be time for you to invest in an electric kettle.

Name: Medina of Tetouan Significance: The Medina of Tétouan developed on the steep slopes of the Jebel Dersa. In the Islamic period it had particular importance from the 8th century onwards since it served as the point of connection between Morocco and Andalusia. After the Reconquest, the town was rebuilt by refugees in this region who had been expelled by the Spanish. This is well illustrated by its art and architecture which reveal clear Andalusian influence. It is one of the smallest of the Moroccan medinas but indisputably the most complete and the majority of its buildings have remained untouched by subsequent outside influences.

SATA IISATA II is the next set of SATA specifications after the initial SATA specification was written. SATA II specifications provide additional enhancements to SATA, delivered in increments. The first increment, called .SATA II: Extensions to SATA 1.0. was released in 2002 and focused on the immediate needs for the server and network storage segments. Additional increments of the specification will focus on enhanced cabling, fan-out and failover capabilities and next generation signaling speeds. In spring 2003, two incremental developments were announced: a SATA II Port Multiplier specification release candidate and the completion and pending adoption of the SATA II Cables and Connectors Volume 1 specification.

The two new offerings, which will be held at the company's Lawrenceville, N.J. office, are Boot Camp and On-The-Job Observation.
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. — BedBug Central announces a pair of BedBug University courses designed to help attendees learn its NO PREP protocol: Boot Camp or On-The-Job Observation.
Most companies see rigorous preparation as vital to the success of their bed bug elimination programs, and might not expect that eliminating prep work can make a service even more successful. However, by attending one of BedBug Central's educational offerings, they'll see firsthand how to eliminate prep and avoid frustration for their clients.
Bed Bug Boot Camp – an intensive four-day course designed to shorten the learning curve for pest management companies that want to boost their bed bug revenues and enhance their bed bug business model. Boot Camp also caters to members of the effected industries that will benefit from the first two days of Boot Camp. Click here for more information and course agenda.
On-The-Job Observation (OJO) – Recently reintroduced to provide a valuable educational experience that minimizes the time you spend away from your business for PMP's and affected industries. Participants of this one day course will accompany the BedBug Central Technical Team into the field for a firsthand observation experience. Click here for more information.
Both courses will be held at the company's Lawrenceville, N.J. office. The Boot Camp is scheduled for Aug. 20-23, while the On-The-Job Observation sessions are being offered Tuesdays and Thursdays (upon availability)
For more information or to register for one of these courses, call Robert DiJoseph 877/411-1142 or email@example.com.

As Loren's quite a bit older brother, I exposed him to popular music from birth, especially The Beatles. His favorite songs were Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Ob la di Ob la Da, and Paul McCartney quickly became his favorite artist. During his years playing piano bars in restaurants he learned to play circles around all the popular songs, and really mastered his craft. Congratulations, Loren on going for your dream and succeeding!

Loren was so lucky to have family who were supportive. So many Palo Alto kids, especially the ones from foreign countries, are not allowed to follow their dreams; they end up well-employed, but frustrated and unhappy. We have a neighbor who is from India, and wanted to be a veterinarian, but his parents said,"MD or PhD!". He makes a splendid living as a plastic surgeon, but he does not find any fulfillment or happiness in his work. However, his parents are ecstatic and proud as can be, and he would never wish to "shame" his parents.
We also have some Chinese neighbors whose children do not want to go into the professions their parents want them to. The guilt trip laid on them is terrible. The grandmother of one told the parents that she was tired of going to "Chinese doctors who never wanted to be doctors. Let the children choose their own paths.". The voice of experience!
Happiness and fulfillment should count for more than money and possessions. You have, after all, to live with yourself in the end. How lucky Loren Gold was to have such
kind parents!

I wish more Israelis were with me in outlying County Kerry, Ireland, just
recently. There, in the tiny town of Cahersiveen, my doubting compatriots would
have been reminded of what we face in the international community and why it has
nothing much to do with how liberally we conduct ourselves, how many confidence-
building concessions we make at the expense of our physical safety or how much
we sacrifice of our rights to our historic homeland.It's all gallingly
beside the point.Our image has exasperatingly little to do with who we
are. Distortions about us are blithely disseminated to the most susceptible and
gullible members of society. Israel's role as a scoundrel is made an axiomatic
given, a premise for decent but distant folks, who know next to nothing (least
of all Israel's actual size) and couldn't care less about the Mideast and its
staggering complexities. But they are convinced that we are the bad
guys.That plays right into the hands of foreign leaders who are not, to
resort to understatement, overly understanding of our cause. We were, for
example, direly warned, via what appears like carefully timed hearsay, that US
President Barack Obama doesn't like our prime minister and holds Israel's
electorate responsible for the country's isolation. We bring upon ourselves all
the ill-will we encounter in the global arena.Not to be outdone, Europe
fully lives up to all the antagonism we have come to expect from the continent's
denizens. They were always highly adept, especially in the darkest epochs, at
dressing up their intense bigotry in holier-than- thou sanctimony. It's no
different now, as warnings emanate from a plethora of EU capitals about an
impending offensive to coerce Israel to capitulate to all existentially
threatening Arab demands. Getting the Jewish state to sign its own death warrant
will apparently buoy sagging spirits in the Euro zone.Been there, heard
that. It's nothing new. Deep inside, most of us Israelis are inured to
diplomatic discrimination, which is the latter-day genteel face of
Judeophobia.But some of us are bent on haughtily pooh-poohing
anti-Jewish undercurrents, to say nothing of out-rightly hostile motives. It
matters little whether the likes of Tzipi Livni actually believe that there's no
thinly disguised prejudice against our vital interests and indeed against our
very survival.Tzipi lectured us in her most stentorian tones against
subscribing to theories that anti-Semitism stokes anti-Israeli fervor. Yet to
deny a grotesque double standard against Israel is either to misperceive reality
or to deliberately misrepresent it for narrow political purposes.I
wonder how Tzipi would have reacted to what I saw in picturesque Cahersiveen,
home to a population of some 1,300. It beautifully straddles the Ring of Kerry,
a tourist trail in southwestern Ireland.The town's imposing Catholic
church is the only one in Ireland named after a lay person, Daniel O'Connell.
Famed as the Liberator or Emancipator, he campaigned in the 19th century for
Catholic rights, thereby in effect triggering the Irish struggle for
independence from Britain. In our terms he can be described as Ireland's
Herzl.One would assume that there, near O'Connell's birthplace, we'd
find sympathy for a far more ancient nation that won its independence from
Britain, after a struggle no less bitter. Moreover, our underground fighters –
foremost the Irgun, whose leadership included Tzipi's own father, Eitan Livni –
patterned itself openly and proudly on the Irish Republican Army. The late prime
minister Yitzhak Shamir's nom de guerre in the Stern Group underground was
Michael, his homage to Michael Collins – the revolutionary Fine Gael leader, who
headed Ireland's provisional government in 1922.But the warm affections
that members of our own "fighting family" felt for Ireland were a galaxy away
from Cahersiveen.There were no hints of affection there for us. On the
town's main thoroughfare, Church Street, I was buttonholed by three boisterous
teenagers in Santa hats, carrying a collection box and big signs reading "Free
Palestine." They solicited my contribution.I asked: "Free Palestine from
whom?" The cheery trio's swift answer was unambiguous: "The Jews."I
pressed on: "Do you know where your money would go? "The boys: "To plant olive
trees.""Are you sure," I continued, as kindly-looking little old ladies
generously opened their purses and dropped coins and bills in the collection
box, "that this money wouldn't fund terrorists and murderers?" Their retort
threw me for a loop: "What do you have against Palestinians? What have they done
to you? They are only against Jews. Jews are evil."I pried more.
I asked what they know about the conflict. It was nothing except that Israel is
the horrid ogre and the oppressed Palestinians are unquestionably worthy of
compassion. Indeed the boys never stopped to question any of this.I
inquired who gave them these ideas and who sent them out to seek contributions
in the town center. It turned out that it was a school-organized affair and that
their teacher brought them all out, as a group, on a school day, during school
hours, to do a pre-Christmas Christian good deed by "collecting donations for
Palestine."I ASKED if they knew of the Palestinian Authority's and
Hamastan's persecutions of Christians, but my youthful interlocutors had never
heard of the Palestinian Authority and didn't know that Palestinians are
overwhelmingly Muslim.There was little point in lumbering them with
elementary information.Any data seemed entirely alien to the boys, their
strongly held opinions notwithstanding. Politely they pointed me down the street
where their teacher stood with some of their other classmates.The
teacher, who unsuspectingly volunteered his name to me, said he took out his
pupils, all from the town's single secondary school, as part of a class project
"to further a humanitarian goal." The goal was to collect money to enable the
Palestinians to replace olive trees because "Jews stole their lands."All
around him the cheery kids hoisted "Save Palestine" placards.There was a
lot of hilarity. It was a lark. A good time was had. Outdoor frolic on a mild
winter's morning sure beats lessons in a dreary classroom.I asked if
this was a sanctioned school event and was solemnly assured that it was, all
part of inculcating in the children a commitment to charitable work. I wondered
aloud if something else wasn't being inculcated. The teacher remained remarkably
unperturbed when I repeated to him what the three boys said earlier about Jews
"always being villains," along with one youngster's aside that "they crucified
our Lord." In fact, the teacher nodded in agreement, without a word of
objection."Isn't there another side to this story?" I asked. I was shown
a handwritten poster that boasted the Palestinian flag and proclaimed: "There's
a conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians that began in the early
20th century." That was the one simplistic token to seeming
objectivity.But it was meaningless and ended there. Another homemade
placard read: "Together we'll get rights for Palestine."The squawk was
all about rights, but distinctly not about the rights of Jews, which are
excluded from the official curriculum. The violated rights are those of
Palestinian Arabs and the violators are Israeli Jews. And all this is crudely
imparted under the auspices of a state's school system.The bottom line
for Cahersiveen's juvenile fund-raisers, without one redeeming exception, was
that the Israelis are the tyrants and the Palestinians the sainted victims. It's
black and white, with no grays, no depth, no background. There was no qualm
about who deserves the unstinting sympathy of decent folks.And herein
lies our problem – the one too many Israelis avoid, be it out of ignorance or
political machination. We, as a people, face bias we can do nothing
about.There's powerful predisposition against us. It's not fueled by our
behavior, because nobody knows much about how we behave and nobody cares to
learn.The Cahersiveen youngsters will surely grow into charming decent
adults, but ingrained in their psyches from a young age will be the vague notion
of Jewish villains and Palestinian martyrs. Indoctrination of impressionable
minds – who can't answer back and who regard their instructors as respected
experts – creates biased adults.Their bias, because it was formed so
early, is intangible and impervious to all Israeli public relations and learned
discourse. Historical dissertations are too convoluted to dispel preconceived
antipathy.Facts are irrelevant.There's sadly no remedy for that
unwitting indecency of essentially very decent folks. Its parades as high-minded
but is irrational.Some may of course argue that Ireland is a special
case. It has a history of anti-Semitism without having ever had a sizable Jewish
population. Cases in point are the 1904 pogrom in Limerick, the refusal to allow
fleeing Jews (even children) refuge before and during the Holocaust, the fascist
Blueshirts, the quasi-Hitlerjugend groupings during the Nazi era and even
Taoisseach (premier) Eamon De Valera's messages of condolence to the German
people following the news of Hitler's demise.De Valera made a pilgrimage
to the German legation in Dublin and visited the home of German envoy, Eduard
Hempel, to commiserate with the loss of the Third Reich's leader. There was no
defense for this gesture made after the liberation of Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen
and Dachau. The Irish government's censor anyhow allowed no reporting of the
Holocaust. On the other hand Dublin gave safe haven to fugitive Nazi war
criminals.Ireland's hyped ethical imperative was demonstratively missing
when it came to Jews. It still is when it comes to the Jewish
state.Until 1975, Ireland had refused to establish diplomatic relations
with Israel, accusing it of contravening UN resolutions. Only in the last days
of 1993 did it allow an Israeli embassy to open in Dublin. That was after it
hosted Yasser Arafat and agreed to a Palestinian
legation.Cashed-strapped Ireland contributes heftily to Palestinian
causes.Calls to boycott Israeli products and expel its diplomats are
rampant.Decent folks don't dissent.But for all that, Ireland
isn't unique. What's bon ton there is very bon ton in other countries, with
other sordid pasts and intrinsic predilections against our sort – predilections
that our homegrown left-wing and post-Zionist politicos persuade naïve and
complacent Israelis to forget, so we may persist in our self-flagellating

We are traveling from Israel for a few days in Jordan, mostly to see Petra, but other adventures would also be welcomed. For starters, any advice on whether we should stay near the Dead Sea at Kempinski, or near Petra at Movenpick -- or other hotels? I would prefer something that has a middle eastern feel. Any other thoughts are recommendations on things to see and do would be so welcome! thank you.
Hotel in Jordan: Movenpick versus Kempinski
9 Replies | Jump to last reply |

I've been wanting to stay at the Kempinski ever since I read this terrific trip report from a regular Fodor's poster:
Report Abuse
If you want to see Petra, which I highly recommend, you should stay AT Petra. This will let you enter Petra early, ahead of the crowds, and also take advantage of the Petra at night opportunity. I recommend at least three nights - two full days - for Petra. There is much more to see than the iconic Treasury. I thought the Dead Sea quickly became boring.
For some incentive to spend time at Petra, see: http://kwilhelm.smugmug.com/Travel/Caucasus-and-Middle-East-2009/Petra/
Note that if you are going to Jordan there are some worthwhile mosaics at Madaba - most tours just see the map in St. George's but there is plenty more to see.
Report Abuse
Thank you both for such wonderful replies -- you've given me much to consider. I don't know of any hotels near Petra other than Movenick, but I can look them up -- unless others out there would like to offer some suggestions??
As for the mosaics idea -- wonderful! I would love that.
As for spending considerable time at Petra, should we get a guide? My guess is that we could download something on our iPhone, which is a better option if you get a dull, predictable guide. But a great guide is a like a great history teacher -- so enriches the experience. But how to know who is a great guide?
And thank you for the get-there-early reminder. We are going during Xmas vacation, and so we will be one-of-many and so early rising is a great idea (I will tell the teenager that and see how much eye-rolling ensues...).

No need for a guide. You can read up on the history, the routes are easy to follow, and it is a feast for the eyes. Click on my name for my TR including Jordan.
Unfortunately I can't recommend the hotel I stayed at near Petra, but there are several in Wadi Musa, which is the town. The Movenpick is closest to the entrance to Petra.
Report Abuse
Thanks eks!
Pediatrician12 - as mentioned we loved the Kempiniski and the Movenpick by the Petra gates was good too.....but are you asking if you can stay at the Dead Sea and visit Petra? No - too far without an overnight (or two).
We did have a guide at Petra whom we adored (see blog link above) but as thursdaysd says you could get along fine without one.
Report Abuse
What is a 'few days'
How are you entering Jordan from Israel? Mid-country at Amman or South from Eilat? Or even flying into AMM?
Will you be using a taxi service, renting a vehicle or having a tour operator provide driver/vehicle for you?
Report Abuse
Just enjoyed Liz and Richard's blog - thanks for the link, eks. If I had stayed at that hotel I think I would have liked the Dead Sea much more! (And I did go in - or rather on - the water.)
After enjoying the pictures on the blog, and taking another look at my own, now I want to go back to Petra!
Report Abuse
I've stayed at both the kempinski and movenpick at the Dead Sea and recommend the movenpick for a more authentic middle eastern feel...in fact, it's built to resemble a Bedouin village. Neither hotel have stellar service, IMHO, and the kempinski is nice also but could be anywhere.
As for Petra, I can't recommend the two places I stayed but do recommend the movenpick there also...it's right at the entrance and looked lovely inside.
Report Abuse
Unlike the other posters, I was satisfied with 1 full day at Petra and was glad I did not have more days there. We chose a guide at the visitor's centre on arrival and he was only with us for about 2 hours then we were free to do whatever we wanted. I cannot recall the cost so I figure in that case it wasn't exorbitant so maybe get the guide, but if they are no good, just let them go. It gives a local a job.
In Petra I stayed at the Marriott. This was a short ride from the gates. I feel it was more "middle eastern" than other hotels we stayed at and not your traditional Marriott that could be located in any other city. Sitting outside on the terrace at night was lovely as the sunset over the mountains was wonderful.
We had a suite at the Dead Sea Marriott but it was a highly contested decision as I also loved the look of the Dead Sea Kempinski. The Dead Sea Marriott has been one of my top five hotels for a number of reasons - rooms, service, atmosphere, relaxation, fun and just floating around!

We had lunch at an Italian food court which was varied in choice - pasta, cold meats, cheese or cold meats, cheese and pasta or cheese, pasta and cold meats. We all shared one of each.
After the feeding frenzy of pasta, cheese and cold meats, we hunted down ...

The really cute thing was the Nativity Scene (Presep as they are called here) where all the figures were fashioned with wine corks and caps. And then we noticed the shelf full of other, everyday, characters made in the same way. Very cleverly done. Joy took photos which we'll put in when time allows.

Incidentally, Italian post offices are great places to see numerous breeds of dog.

Anyway, back to Bologna. ...

After many hugs and handshakes we said farewell to our good friends in Rome, and set off to Bologna. Trenitalia had again messed up our seat reservations - putting us back to back instead of side by side - but the train was fairly empty so it didn't matter, we simply moved seats!

This is a nice property, however, as other reviewers have mentioned, when you purchase using Priceline or Hotwire, you will be given the smallest room available with an offer to upgrade for $20-$40 more per night (plus tax). I opted to keep the room I paid for ($136/nt) and was frustrated by the need to climb behind a chair to operate the drapes so I could look out of the window. There was a The room on the 7th floor was right by the elevators which ping quite loudly when the elevator arrives, so I'd avoid this location if at all possible.
