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

So i was wondering who pays for the travel to get there and back?? Because i have to get public transport as well, so i would need to pay for a bus or train (but usually a bus)

Look into getting some sort of government funding as you will not be viewed as unemployed, perhaps it may work the same as a type of carer’s allowance.

Does anyone know what these websites could be, not just for cruises but all types of holiday and days out?

Thank you. :)

Tickets for miami are too expensive and its too late for me to go there, so NYC is the closest place to me that has cruises. I want a cruise that will leave from NYC and come back a couple days later or before the end of the week. If anyone can give me a website for the cheapest cruises for what I am asking that would be great.

There aren’t going to be any three or four-day cruises from NYC at this time of year – they can’t go anyplace warm in that timeframe. In the summer, you can sometimes find short cruises to Canada from NYC.

Yes, September is a good time to visit NY. The weather is nice then and it’s not very crowded. Sorry, can’t help with hotels, maybe you should do some research on tripadvisor.com.

But wherever else is good, aslong as it’s not too far from the UK.
Cheap please, I don’t mind what rating the star is.
It’ll be two 15 year olds, and one adult going, so it has to be one for ‘children’
Also it ‘HAS’ to have a club for the night time, so it has a good nightlife.
Please, it’ll help me a lot :) .
I don’t mind wgat air line, but if anyone can the cheaper the better.
Thank you
