Tips For Having The Best Flights For Your Holiday

May 16th, 2010 · No Comments · Cheap Travel

The ease with which people are able to take their flights to get to a vacation destination often determines the entire mood of the vacation. However, most people don’t really give a lot of thought to the type of planes they will be riding in or the number of connections they will need to make to get to their vacation destination.

March 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Cheap Travel

My wife and I had an unbelievable honeymoon throughout southeast Asia. Here are several good romantic honeymoon getaways- as well as several to avoid- that you and your wanted one can enjoy for fifty dollars a day.

Siem Reap, Cambodia. Home to Angkor Wat, the legendary lost cities of the past Khmer civilization, this is truly a world class address that rivals Machu Pichu. The ruins are astonishing, and need two to three days to fully research. In order to save some money, pay for the three day pass ($40) and rent a tuk tuk driver to give you a day tour of the smaller web sites on the first day. The going range for a driver is about $15 per day, but you may be capable to haggle them down.
