Because of the poor economy, you may want to reduce your expenses and skip vacations. Follow these tips if you are a money conscious traveler.
Plan for such small comforts as an aisle seat, a quiet room or other little things that make you trip better. The seat with a view leaves you trapped and at the mercy of the consideration of those next to you while the aisle seat allows you the freedom to move unrestricted for whatever action you need to take.
If immunizations are required for any country you are visiting, be sure to carry along proof of vaccination. You might need to show it upon entering and exiting the country, and also when moving between cities. If you do not have the proper paperwork, those who handle travelers will simply not be allowed to let you pass a certain point and at this stage you will be held for what could be days until they know for sure you are not a threat to spread an illness.
If you cannot bear to leave your pet home, consider taking her along on your vacation. Pet-friendly vacation spots are growing in number. Most involve activities as well as pampering services for your beloved pet that may leave you jealous that they are having a better time than you. Do the necessary research ahead of time to find these places, and you and your pet will have a wonderful time!
Bring clothespins on your next trip. While you might not think of them immediately, clothespins can perform many functions.
Motorcycles can be a great option for short jaunts. You can get a lot of mileage without using much gas. You can have a lot of fun traveling by motorcycle.
Not everyone can stay in a five star hotel. Bring along a rubber doorstop for safety. Slide it beneath your door overnight (and use the chain and lock, too). An intruder might be able to get past the chain and the lock, but the rubber doorstop won't be so easy to dislodge.
Make sure that your passports are valid. Different countries have different passport regulations. You are usually not allowed to enter a country if your passport expires soon. As long as the passport is not set to expire within the next six months, you should be fine for most countries; however, certain countries require eight months, or even up to one year.
You don't have to forget about your vacation just because money is tight. Armed with the suggestions from this article, you should have no trouble making your next trip as affordable as it is memorable.
