Holiday Rentals

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Some people like a little more adventure when they travel. Hotels may not be for everyone on the travel circuit. A lot of people like going off the beaten path by renting an apartment, condo or B&B (Bed and Breakfast). This often saves money and allows the globetrotter to spend more time among local populations. Holiday rentals can be the perfect solution. Vacation Home Rentals

It really depends upon what type of vacation is wanted. Someone might want to learn more about the people living in an area especially when traveling abroad. They like the idea of eating at local restaurants and outside cafes rather than calling room service for every meal. Many rentals have their own kitchen so someone can go to the local market and find their own food. This might be especially important for people on restricted diets. Some rentals also have laundry facilities, and the traveler does not have to pay extra to clothes washed, or waste time looking for a public laundry.

If someone wants something a little fancier there are villas that can be rented. This is especially when traveling in Europe. For example, let’s take a look at villa possibilities in Spain. May, June and September are the best months to travel in Spain. Eurail Spain Rail Pass It is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and should not been seen in a hurry. Renting a villa for a few weeks might be a wiser option than staying in an upscale hotel. Look for one that has weekly or monthly rates would be a wiser choice. Keep in mind that landlords tend to give large discounts to tenants who stay longer. Some of the best villas in Spain are near the famous vineyards that thrive there. From that vantage point travelers can afford to move around and see the real Spain.

Money Saving Trip Tip

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

When booking a trip across the country with 7 weeks notice, I found prices were much more than expected. For my preferred flights (non-stop, daytime, etc), it was going to be $660 per person. That was much more than I wanted to spend. Then I found Travelocity Trip Packages! I managed to get BOTH my preferred flights and my 3 night hotel stay for $605 per person. That is a HUGE vacation savings! Here is how I proved I was really getting a deal:

First I compared the price of my desired flight on Travelocity, Orbitz, Cheap Tickets, and the actual airline. All were within $5-10 depending on how they showed booking fees/taxes.

Then, I noticed that Travelocity had a button next to my desired flight saying book with hotel stay for as little as $583/person. I figured that was in addition to my cost — but it wasn’t! I looked at over 125 hotel choices. I found the hotel I was wanting to stay in before booking the flight. So, I chose that hotel. Total cost for flight and hotel was $606 per person.

So if you are needing both airline tickets and a hotel stay, consider this amazing vacation package deal. Know Travelocity SAVES You 20% or MORE on Air Fares and save hundreds of dollars!
