I don’t know about you, but most weekends in the summer I spend far away from the city and my job.  It is just nice to go somewhere to relax and forget work on Monday morning.

But, all this traveling does come at a cost, and since the gas prices are so much this year, I am finding that I can’t travel as much as I would like.  So, we have been trying to find some car rental coupons online that would let us travel as much as we did last year.

It hasn’t been easy to find the coupons that we have been looking for, but my wife is very good at finding things online.  I would have to call her a genius as she was able to install a coupon toolbar in her browser to find all sorts of discounts.

So, we have been able to save some money on traveling and we are now able to go out of town three weekends each month.  In fact, I think we are taking a trip next weekend - I can’t wait!

When it comes to cheap holidays, I would consider myself an expert.  You see, I take the time to do the research on the places that I would like to go as well as shop around for the best rates on flights and accommodations.  Not only does is keep my costs down, but it also means that I can take more vacations in a year.

For example, after finding cheap flights to Turkey, I decided that it might be worth going there.  I’ve never been to Turkey before, so thought it would be a great opportunity to visit the country that I’ve never seen.

In the end, I decided that I would visit Icmeler Turkey and its wonderful beaches for a great week off of work.  I am leaving next Friday and I am almost all packed.  If I told you the price for the entire trip you would be shocked: it is definitely one of the cheapest places in the world to visit.

I have always been the kind of person who likes to buy things when they are on sale. It was no different when we were planning our Christmas trip. I searched for deals on everything form rental cars to Walt Disney World tickets.

I went to a discount travel site and when I keyed in Hopper tickets information, I was having a hard time navigating the site to find the sales. I wondered if it would just be easier to call a travel agent and have them help me.

Just before I gave up, I saw a little button that I could click for more info and it took me right to the place that I had been looking for. I checked out the prices there and compared them with other websites. When I was satisfied that I was getting the best possible deal, I went ahead and ordered them.

Most people assume that when something is cheap it is of lesser quality.  I would have to say that that is not entirely true as cheap can also mean something on the discount.

Take for example a promotion that is put on by a company for cheap hotel rooms.  You can see this quite often when you hear about a Las Vegas promotion on one of the many hotels found in Las Vegas.  In this case, the Las Vegas hotel promotion is offering you a deal on the room rate so that they can be closer to full capacity and earn money from all of their rooms.

This doesn’t mean that they’re giving you a cheaper room, a shoddier place to stay, or taking away any of the amenities that they offer.  It is just a way for them to make as much money as they can and fill their hotel to capacity.

If you want to see some examples of these types of "cheap rooms", take a lock at the current MGM Signature hotel Las Vegas promo code and get a great night stay for pennies on the dollar.

I thought that I had a good grasp on Spanish until I took a trip to Mexico.  What I guess I hadn’t counted on was the fact that I sounded so much like a tourist that most people just ended up laughing at me.  I guess I sounded funny, and sometimes I mixed up my sentences, but hey, it was not my native language.

It was especially frustrating when I wanted something a little more detailed.  When I asked for where the clinicas dentales de tijuana mexico was, I was pretty sure that I was looking for a dentist.  Most people that I asked understood what I was saying when I asked, and pointed me in the right direction.

But when it came to asking the dentist to perform a specific procedure, I was in trouble.  He was trying to say stuff to me, but I just didn’t understand.  In fact, I got so frustrated that I just left the office.

I guess next time I go to Mexico, I should take the time to learn the language - obviously, I didn’t know enough to get by.

We have never really ever left the country before, so when my wife suggested that we go far away for our vacation this year, I was scared.  I guess it was going to be out of my comfort zone, but honestly it was about time.  Closing in on my 30th year of existence, it was time to live it up - or give up living all together.

So, she offered to surprise me as to where we would go.  I know my wife, and I knew that she would be capable enough to pick a good vacation spot, so I thought why not.  At least she had some experience with worldly travel, so she was as close to an expert as I would get.

What I wasn’t prepared for was the “perfect-ness” of the holiday.  We stayed at some Costa Luz holiday villas and had a grand old time.  In fact, I am thinking that I don’t want to ever take a vacation in our country again.

I have been looking for some travel information for a trip that I would like to take in the fall.  I really haven’t decided where I would like to go yet, but pretty much anywhere would be nice.  My wife had suggested that we stay at Las Vegas again, so I have been looking into it.

There were a couple of Las Vegas attractions that we missed the last time that we were there, so it will give us a chance to visit them.  I know that I was also a little disappointed last time that we missed a couple of shows, so I would be happy to go back to Vegas.

Wow!  I just stumbled upon some Las Vegas coupons that will make the trip a whole lot cheaper - which makes it a good choice.  Now, all we have to do is figure out how much money that we need to save so that we can make the trip a reality - I just can’t wait!

When my husband asked me what I wanted to do for our winter vacation this year, it certainly did not take me long to come up with an answer. I wanted to go on a cruise. I had been on a cruise once before, straight out of high school and I had nothing but great memories of the trip.

For me, cruise travel is the way to go. I paid for the whole thing in advance and when I got there, it was all inclusive. I did not have to worry about money for food and drinks. The only thing that cost extra was the excursions and they were worth it.

If I had my way, this is the absolute only way I would ever travel again. There is so much to do, both on the boat and off, and if it was anything like my first trip, there would never be any regrets.

I have heard many people over the years talk about if you do something you love, that it won’t seem like work.  Though, I have tried to follow this philosophy, it really hasn’t been a reality for me.  But, I thought that I would give it one more shot and make a website that truly captured what I like to do: travel.

Now, I am not talking about taking trips like you grandmother does - no, what I am talking about it going on an adventure.  When I think travel, I think of mountain climbing, white water rafting, and going off of the beaten path.

So, I have come up with the idea to create an adventure travel portal that would lay out trips like I would imagine them, so that others can have a thrill on their vacation.  Besides, they can always visit museums and art galleries at home - a vacation is for fun!

I went to a French Immersion school from kindergarten through grade twelve and because of it, I am pretty fluent in the language. I decided that I was going to mix the two things I love, being French and traveling, and try to find a job in Europe.

I looked up a translation company London and sent in a resume and an application. It did not take long before I had someone call me and offer to pay my airfare there just to have an interview. Of course I said yes and I took a flight the very next day.

I was hired right away and I flew home and had only three weeks to pack all of my stuff and send it to London to my new flat. I am loving the job, loving my home and loving the whole experience. I can see me being here for many years, much to my mom’s dismay, but she will either have to get used to it or move here to be with me.
