Getting A Deal Makes For A Better Holiday
There are many expensive ways to travel and take vacations. It’s funny how much more enjoyable travel is when you save money and still stay and travel in luxury.
For example, did you know that you can be sitting beside someone on an airplane and pay 1/10 of the price they did (for the same seat)
Or, you can stay at hotels for free, and even get paid to travel. For more ideas check out the discount travel reviews here.
Happy Tightwad Traveling
what is the best way to plan a cheap family vacation?
just take a road trip to the country side .
how much does it cost to travel on the London underground using an oyster card?
Zones 1-3 specifically.
I want to go from London Bridge to Clapham South then back again (first journey during peak time, 2nd off peak)
I have read that Clapham South tube station is in both zones 2 and 3, does that mean i could just pay to travel to zone 2 from zone 1?
I’m not familiar with how oyster cards work, excuse my ignorance.
It will cost a total of £3.50. You will be charged for zones 1 and 2 only.
Can anyone recommend a cheap cruise vacation to the Bahamas or Caribbean?
My husband and I are a little tight on cash but still want a nice 3-5 day cruise.
All the major cruise lines do 3, 4 and 5 day cruises to the Bahamas from pretty much any port in Fl.
They all run in the $100pp/day range. If you look you can sometimes find them at half that price.

Visiting Cancun. Any tips for must do excurison/sightseing activities?
Traveling with a 4 year old and 65 year old grandma. We will be there for a week.
1. should I book excursions prior to getting to Cancun? are there any discounts avail for Xcaret, Chichen Itz tours?
2. recommend economy family friendly hotels close to beach/shopping/night life?
3. should we rent a car? we want to do Xcaret, Chichen Itza, Cozumel, Tulum
do hotels have airport pickups and drop offs?
4. top 5-6 must do things in Cancun? can Cozumel be done in a day?
Please help…
1. I would wait until you got there and book the excursions at the resort; then the bus will pick you up at the hotel and deliver you back there. It is cheaper to book Xcaret online:
http://www.xcaret.com/
But then you’ve got get yourself to the Xcaret bus pickup point right next to the Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach Hotel, in front of Plaza Caracol shopping center. Daily departures at 8:30am.
If you book through the resort, you’ll get the transportation, a guide, lunch and be able to close your eyes on the trip back after a day of activity.
2. Click this link to check out photos and details on the Park Royal Cancun:

Kids under six stay free, and it’s close to the La Isla shopping center.

3. Having a car does have it’s advantages–you can depart and return when you want. It’s about a two hour drive over to Chichen Itza and you can usually pick up a guide at the entrance if you want someone to explain the structures and history. A car will be convenient for the trip down to Playa del Carmen to catch the ferry to Cozumel. Ferry times and prices are on this link:

4. If you’re going to do Tulum, it’s a lot smaller than Chichen Itza. and you can see all of Tulum in under two hours. As long as your that far south, you should go to Xel-ha for the rest of the day:

The only other thing you might want to add to the things you’ve already got planned is Selvatica–the adventure kingdom, if grandma wants to try the zip lines:

And with a car you may want to explore other Maya ruins. Click this map to see how many there are on the Yucatan peninsula:

Pre paid travel money cards for europe for under 18s?
Ok, I’m going interrailing in July with some friends but don’t want to have to take money or travellers cheques but i think it might come down to this. However, i was looking at pre paid cards and they were looking like a really good alternative, but all the cards seem to have a minimum age of 18. This is a problem because i’m 17 and won’t turn 18 till after the holiday. Any ideas on cards for under 18s?
Don’t go until after your 18th birthday
