Cheap Travel Secrets

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 13:49:38 -0400

There are two ways to save money traveling. The first way is toget the best deals on the specific things you want. There is alimitation to this type of approach though. If , for example,you find the lowest price on the best hotel in Honolulu at theheight of the season, you will save money, but still havea very expensive vacation. Trying to get exactly what you want,or what you think you want, will generally be an expensiveproposition, in travel and in life. Be A Travel OpportunistThe other approach is to be a true opportunist. This will bedifficult for some of you, and entirely unacceptable to others.Nonetheless, the travelers who get to travel the most, go to thewidest variety of places, learn the most and do the most, arethe opportunists. This will be true until you are so wealthythat you have no monetary limits. The first time I went to Ecuador, I went there because it wascheap. If it wasn't, I would have had a great time - somewhereelse. The trip lasted a month, a...

Travel Light

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:27:59 -0400

I learned how to travel light from lightweight backpacking,then found it was just as useful to keep it light on tripsoverseas or driving across the country. The last time my wifeand I went to Ecuador, I had pounds of luggage, all in onecarry-on bag, and Ana had just pounds in her carry-on bag.This wasn't a short trip. We spent six weeks in Ecuador, attimes on glacier-covered mountains, and at other times loungingon Pacific coast beaches. Travel SimplicityWhy travel light? Travel simplicity. Everything is simpler whenyou travel light. With only carry-on luggage, we were on our wayto a restaurant in Quito, while others were still waiting fortheir checked luggage. When we took busses our luggage wassafely with us, not on the roof or in the hold below being cutopen, like one time when I was in Mexico. While others struggleddown the street with three heavy bags, we had our hands free andwere walking comfortably because we use daypacks or smallbackpacks. We had less t...

Ghent Belgium

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:22:55 -0400

Ghent, Belgium is a friendly university town that is full of ancient buildings and history. If Bruges is a city filled with tourists looking for a time warp, Ghent is a city full of students and locals just living life... Like Bruges it started as a port, but unlike Bruges, it still is an important port. It's a city of flowers with a flourishing flower export trade.It has museums and ancient architecture, but it's a modern city. True, the city center is a pedestrian area that is like a museum to early Flemish architecture... and a testament to the city's medieval might, but it's surrounded by a real life city. The tourist brochures say it has more historic sites than Antwerp and is more down-to-earth "real" than Bruges. While I love Bruges, I think I agree with them.It's not high on a lot of tourists lists, but it deserves to be. Though I admit, the only reason we went to Ghent in the first place was because we had hosted a student from the university one summer in the U...
