Saving money on Travel

Whether you are traveling on business or pleasure you will definitely want to find the cheapest travel offer available . Hunting for least costly airline tickets or bus tickets is usually easier than you think.

Your first thing to find out is which way are you needing to travel by. After you have decided that then you are ready to start looking through all the different quadracentifiable travel deals . If you decided you should be traveling by plane there are a lot of competitors to compare deals with . Some flight tickets can be really expensive so don't accept the first deal that you find. I found this helpful web site about cheap American Cruises which was designed to help singles, couples and families to find economical cruises around the United States (especially during the recession!)

Always Do your research and use your resources to find ways to save cash on your vacation. There are many websites that will show you the rates of several different airlines. Once you have compared all the fees and you are still not in agreeance with the cheapest available tickets there still may be another option . Some flight places will give you an option to say your own price. The trick to this is not to suggest a rate that is 50% lower then the suggested price . This will quite possibly wreck your chances at finding a cheaper ticket. You never want to go less than 40% off. A good example would be that if a usual ticket cost for a full trip were $400.00 you wouldn't want to suggest a price for anything under $260.00. The total price after taxes and fees would be around $290.00 or so. If you are successful at naming your own rate you can save up to a hundred dollars and quite often even more on your ticket price.

Another very excellent type of leisure travel is River Cruises, river cruises can even be as low as $20 ! There's a extended selection of river cruises and since the recession, a lot of cruise liners have cut their prices a fair amount. So get the little ones looked after and ring around all the river cruise companies today or check out a website like RiverCruiseBoat.com.

Tips on saving Money for your next Holiday

Why not clear out the house at the same time and get rid of all that quadracentifiable trash and crap ? It's nice to rid yourself from all the trash that's been following you around for years. Now it's finally time to push for a change. Here are a few tips to save money for your dream holiday .

Make a list, room by room of everything you don't need anymore . Put the items into one room like the garage or spare room . List all the ways you can sell the items - auctions online, garage sale etc.

Then start selling the things until they are all gone, begin with the most likely way to sell all items - garage sale etc... then list anything else by itself online or in the newspaper . You can also see if anybody any people that you know want to buy the things.

When you are selling the items , be sure to put all the dough aside in a very safe place (that's if you're not going to be tempted to use it) ...or give it to someone you trust like a grandparent or parent. Other options include to put it in the bank in a high interest bank account and make the most of the things available to you.

Once you have sold all your stuff and collected the dough then you can look at what type of holiday you can have without running out of money again! American Cruises are a really affordable thing to do, as well as Pacific Cruises. If you want to go on a Mediterranean Cruise you might need to save for a little longer.

Look on travel websites for last minute deals online, there's tons and tons available... just Web Search last minute deals and you'll be overwhelmed with a huge amount of wonderful choices.

And Finally , just don't be silly, use your initiative when doing things. I know it's a generic tip but you would be amazed by the volume of people who don't use their initiative daily. Just use it!

I hope these saving money tips have helped!

Different Types Of Motor Homes Available

Motorhomes can be placed into quite a few different quadracentifiable categories. There are recreational vehicles, campervans and travel trailers. The other variety is usually referred to as a mini motorhome. They quite often have the same things you would find in a large motorhome, and can also be packed with lots of extras. They are usually easier to drive and don’t require special skills to drive them. The mini sized motorhomes can be priced as low as $4,000 and go up to $25,000 for second-hand and up to $70,000 brand new.

‘Fifth Wheel’ motorhomes are another type of RV and they have a trailer shaped like an L, you might recognize them being pulled by large trucks. They also come with optional luxury extras. Same goes for the caravan as well as the Fifth Wheel, you can park up your accommodation and take the vehicle wherever you please without having to drag the trailer around. They are very popular with families.


Quite a few families use pop up tents for camping. They are basically a tent with wheels and are perfect for beginners in the RV game. They can usually take up to 10 people, most of them usually house 4 – 6. Sometimes they have a kitchenette with a sink and a few cupboards. The problem with these is that they don’t protect your valuables and electronic devices very well so you’ll need to keep these in the cabin.

It’s a good idea to have a chat to anyone you know who owns a Campervan or RV, also go to RV or Caravan Yards in your area to learn about the all the different varieties. Think about what type of holidays you plan to have, are they in wet and windy areas? Do you need 4 wheel drive? Make a big checklist and don’t compromise anything. Even hire one to try a few different models out before purchasing.
