3D 2N Stay At A Remote Cottage? Author: Admin Feb 02

Hubby thought of having a 3D2N stay at his friend’s remote cottage this weekend. I love the idea, but …

I love the idea of staying at a totally quiet and peaceful place to unwind a bit, but there is no Internet connection.

I can’t live without my Internet for 3 days and 2 nights!

I am fine with 2D1N. So, I am still considering. Maybe, maybe not.

No Objection To Hubby’s Thrifty Trip To China Author: Admin Oct 18

Hubby thought I would object his plan to travel to Guangzhou, China this December. Why would I object to his thrifty trip to China?

Apparently, he was worried that I would say no due to many pretty China dolls in China. What? He thought he was still young and handsome to attract China ladies to get hooked to him.

Well, if it were 30 years ago, I would surely worry. With his current body weight and shape, shut up! Perhaps if he is on diet and starts losing many pounds before he flies to China, it’s likely that some China ladies will be attracted to him.

I mean average looking China women. :-)

A Thrifty Travel To Guangzhou This December? Author: Admin Oct 18

Hubby is thinking of meeting his cousin who is working and living in Guangzhou, China this coming December.

Honestly, I have no objection at all. Why? It’s because I know the trip to Guangzhou, China will be a thrifty travel for hubby.

His cousin will surely take care of his accommodation, meals and other expenses during his stay there.

What hubby needs to do is just pay for his own air fares. There are not only many flights to Guangzhou, but also cheap ones.

Cancel Your Vacation Or Opt For Cheaper Vacation Author: Admin Oct 09

I have been checking the availability of Outer Banks rentals for Christmas holidays these few days and fortunately, there is.

I guess the reduction in credit card spending limits has shown its effect. People have to either cancel their yearly vacation trips or opt for thrifty travels or cheaper vacations this year.

Are you affected by the credit crisis too? Are you still planning your yearly vacation this year?

You Can Still Afford A Cheap Vacation In Europe Author: Admin Apr 20

What do you think of when I mention Europe? Most people think of things like bull fights in Spain, fine wine in France, historical sites in Rome, a good soccer brawl in the UK and so on.

But with soaring gas prices, costly flights, plus weakening dollar, a European trip seems practically unaffordable. The truth is that, you can still explore not only Europe’s rich treasure trove of art and history, but its contemporary and vibrant city life.

The best way to save money and control costs is searching for European vacation package offers or all-inclusive vacation deals online. If two-star Dublin Hotels or three-star Paris Hotels are fine with you, you’ll find a good number of affordable packages.

If possible, search for Paris Hotels, Rome Hotels, Dublin Hotels or Barcelona Hotels that include breakfast and fill up fast and early.

Europe is a very diverse place. You will find much that is familiar to you in the UK and Ireland but a lot that feels very different in Rome or Barcelona. Do take time to enjoy the cultural differences and remember, that’s why you’re going in the first place!

10 Tips For Thrifty Travel Author: Admin Dec 10

1. Be sure to have a budget and schedule so you can plan your trip realistically.

2. It’s often cheaper to purchase flight tickets or buy tour packages early at travel fairs.

3. If possible, especially if you have non-schoolgoing children, travel during low season.

4. Buy travel insurance for unexpected delays and medical emergencies. You never know what could go wrong.

5. Buy food and water at grocery stores or market places instead of hotels and touristy sites. Always carry some snacks with you.

6. Book hotels within walking distance from town so you can save on transport. Check accessibility of public transportation.

7. Opt to stay in B&Bs, which offer double the warmth and cultural intimacy for half the price of a hotel.

8. Use an up-to-date guidebook to find your way around. Saving money by not buying one is penny-wise and pound-foolish.

9. If you must shop, flea markets are cheap sources of funky, fun souvenirs. Bargain when travelling within Asean countries.

10. Consider going to attractions that don’t require entrance fees eg. parks or open-air concerts.
