      Without = outside

      From freedic see point no.5

      without (wɪˈðaʊt)
      prep
      1. not having: a traveller without much money.
      2. not accompanied by: he came without his wife.
      3. not making use of: it is not easy to undo screws without a screwdriver.
      4. (foll by a verbal noun or noun phrase) not, while not, or after not: she can sing for two minutes without drawing breath.
      5. archaic on the outside of
      adv
      formal outside; outwardly

      So I DAL returned outside E becomes I D(E)AL

    There seems to be very many pros amongst the ''amateurs'' here ? or are they silent participants in the blog? If the latter, they ought to feel better f they appeared regularly. Well done, all of you. Today's ANON puzzle is just the right one to make a beginning. Their Grammar in analysis is indeed commendable . God show , folks !

      As in Sterling resorts in India . I visited one in Siruvani and stayed for two nights. Earlier, one had to be a Member by subs etc but now it is open to all but at a higher than regular Members' rate.

      This is different form HOMESTAY where families rent out a portion for Boarding and Lodging to tourists. Am I right ?

      timeshare are more of vacation homes that you own for a part of the year. one gets a fixed time (of the year) per year to stay on sole basis. its mostly owned by few ppl. some commercial ventures sell only the right to stay without ownership. but the time/date is mostly fixed, unlike a holiday booking.
