The key to budget travel is to plan ahead. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Planning and spending our travel dollar wisely is a priority for most families. Curbing spending and costs, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind saving money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal budget is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!

I'm still doing a little research for my Hawaii accommodation for the final night's stay before heading to Los Angeles. After all the research, I've narrowed down to Embassy Suites Hotel and a couple of beachfront ones along Waikiki beach. Along the way, I stumbled upon HotelsCombined.com which searches thousands of hotel options across multiple hotel booking sites, thus presenting you all the results for what you are searching for. In other words, you could enter your travel destination eg. London and HotelsCombined.com will search across more than 30 travel sites to present you with hotel accommodations in London. When you select a particular hotel, you will see the rates and room options from multiple travel booking sites, thus making it easy for you to identify which travel site offers the best deals. This helps to save you time and you get to know new travel booking sites too.

Are you one one of those travelers who are particular on your choice of accommodation? If you are, you are not alone. Many of us like to ensure that our travel experience is full of fond memories and not be spoilt by a hotel that is run down or dinghy. Worse still, if the rooms are not up to our expectations and we are booked in that place for a week! Personally, I like to play it safe with reliable names and usually, these are the hotels that come with at least a 4-star rating. Most people may think that these luxury hotels are very costly but in actual fact, not all of them are. With careful research, you can get good deals for these higher end hotels. I've found AllStays.com to be a good resource for 4-5 star hotels and resorts with all year attractive prices. To save $15.00 off Save Rate reservations over $200, enter promotion code: SPC7463403, expires on 12-31-2008.

Grand Canyon Family Vacations 0

Posted on September 16, 2007 by dorisch
grandcanyonchristmas.JPG My first trip to the Grand Canyons was dated 15 years ago... I could only recall glimpses of this magnificent gorge now. When you travel with the whole family in tow, you are faced with a set challenges and opportunities. There are many things to consider, not least of which is where to go. But where else can you find the best time to form wonderful memories with family members than on a Grand Canyon family vacation? Hailed as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the Grand Canyon is an excellent destination for a family vacation. With its rows of spectacular cliffs that change hues by the hour and the fascinating wildlife that shifts with the season, there is something for everyone. There are many things to do that everyone can enjoy. Activities geared towards families are plenty and sports designed for thrill-seekers are varied. When you take a Grand Canyon family vacation, bear in mind that it does not have to be all about adventure. You could be spending your vacation doing nothing but relaxing under the night sky inside a tent with the smell of the campfire wafting in the air. Or you could be river rafting the might Colorado rapids, getting pumped with adrenaline and totally having a great time. Indeed, the choices are so varied, that’s why it’s the perfect place for a Grand Canyon family vacation. Getting There If you’re taking route 64 from Interstate 40, the Grand Canyon National Park should be about 60 miles just north of Williams, Arizona. Via route 180, it’s 80 miles to the northwest of Flagstaff. One thing you need to remember when you go on a Grand Canyon family vacation is that the place lies entirely within the state of Arizona. You can take commercial air flights from Phoenix, Flagstaff and Las Vegas. There are also Greyhound bus services to Flagstaff as well as Amtrak rail services, with connecting bus service to the canyon. Things to See The Phantom Ranch in the “Inner Canyon” is an excellent place to visit when you go on a Grand Canyon family vacation. Here, fun programs are offered daily, with talks that cover a wide range of natural and cultural history topics. There are also mule rides and good hiking to the bottom of the canyon. Other areas of interest offer wonderful views of the canyon. Desert View Drive, for instance, along Highway 64, provides you with a stunning view of the 26 mile stretch of spectacular cliffs along the eastern side of Grand Canyon Village, ending at Desert View. Hiking along the Rim Trail is a fun, kid-friendly activity that is sure to make your Grand Canyon family vacation unforgettable. The trail follows the rim of the Canyon, starting from Pipe Creek Vista and ending at Hermits Rest. Alternatively, you can choose to extend your hike up to Maricopa Point and the trail here is waived, making it accessible even to wheelchairs.

Posted on September 12, 2007 by dorisch
This is a continuation of some cruising basics for the first time cruisers: 4) Extend your patience Contacting your cruise agents might demand some of you precious time over and over again that makes you blow off your handle. If this happens simmer down, you don’t pay yourself just to get pissed off, you don’t need that. Things like these are expected even if your cruise agents assure you of excellent customer service relations. There are more instances where your patience will be tested. When you are actually on your way to the cruise waiting for your turn in long queues is customary especially during check-in procedures. In could take an hour or two, so be prepared. 5) Widen your creativity Being resourceful is a learned characteristic, but it is never too late to explore your own. Your creativity will definitely do great wonders for you. Learn to sweet talk with your agent to give you more discounts and deals on your cruise. Use your charm in meeting with cruise line staff so you will be attended to immediately. Smile if you must, it will not only give you the favors that you need it will make you feel good as well. Smiling is a good exercise too. So don’t forget to sprinkle a dash of creativity in preparing you for your cruise. A little practice might just help you to get perfect and will just come in handy when you needed it the most.

cruising basics for first time cruisers – part 1 0

Posted on September 09, 2007 by dorisch
Let's check out some of these cruising basics for first time cruisers: 1) Broaden your knowledge. Shopping around the best cruise line that can give you your money’s worth is the first thing to do. If you know of anyone who has tried cruising, then ask for some information, which cruise line to go to. This person mighty just be the perfect source of information that you needed most without the extra cost. There are actually a plenty of cruise ships from different cruise lines that you can choose from, alright. But not all of them can give you the deals that you really wanted, that is a known fact. Compare prices, amenities and services. Perhaps this will help you in narrowing down your choices. 2) Stretch your budget. Even if you can afford the first class rate for a cruise, knowing where and when to spend your money is crucial lest you become broke in the middle of the cruise. Great deals are all available. If you want a luxurious service then go ahead to your hearts content. After all it is your money that you are spending, so it is just but fair that enjoy every single centavo that you spent. However, spending wisely can do a great deal and can even take to more avenues for enjoyment. Making a rough estimate on how much you can actually spend is helpful, plus putting aside a contingency fund will prepare you for some unexpected expenditures towards the duration of the trip, otherwise you will be the only one empty handed while the rest of the tourists carrying a handful of souvenir items from a shopping spree. 3) Lengthen your anticipation. You can’t help because just the idea of a cruise can make every vagabond soul really excited. But don’t go jumping just yet because a cruise is sometimes reserved months or even a year before you actually cruise yourself way. More often than not a good deal of cruising is prepared way ahead of time. This will allow you to have enough time to save a little extra and get bid discounts from cruise agents. It is alright to be excited a bit but reserve a little for the actual day of the cruise. Do not in any way exaggerate your anticipation because quite frankly there are a lot of things to do other than that. Save the best for last, that’s it.
