Travel is often fraught with hassles, from the time-consuming task of price-checking and coordinating airline tickets, lodging, and transportation, to the difficulties of figuring out what to pack and how to manage your affairs (pet-sitting, mail collection, etc.) while you're away. Since vacations can also be fairly pricey you may have to contend with trying to stick to a budget. And while you can certainly find plenty of ways to cut costs on airline tickets (fly economy class, pack light to avoid baggage fees, plan early, bundle travel arrangements, go in the off-season, and so on), you might be looking for a few good ways to lower the price of lodgings without resigning yourself to seven nights spent at a youth hostel (or your destination's equivalent of a seedy motel). Luckily, there are ways to save on even posh hotels and you can also look into vacation rentals (read: private homes). But which is the better option for you? Hotel There are a couple of pros and con...

There is nothing like a great family trip. Families spend all that time arguing with each other, and then getting along, and then arguing again, and the cycle just keeps going and going. And, not as if the cycle does not continue even during family trips, but it is at least tolerable because everyone tends to be excited about the fun and adventures that await them. Children tend to always have their fondest memories involve the time they went on a family trip. Whether it is a national park, a theme park, a camping trip, a visit to family members in a faraway place, or any other destination- family trips are thing to cherish and celebrate. It is a great time to bond, to have fun and to enjoy each other’s company without the stress that comes with work and school and everything else involved with the family’s life back home. Indeed, it is a time to hit the road, leave your cares behind (or, at least on hold,) and to just embrace life, love and family while you still have the chance. It i...

Wouldn't it be great if as an adult starting your vacation, you could get the same exact feeling you did when you started vacation at say, age ten? Remember the feelings of freedom, bubbling joy and such excitement that you literally had to run around the backyard at full speed with your legs and arms flailing, pretending you were about to take off in the air? Oh, wait; was that just me on that running thing? Even if you didn't do the running, we all remember that feeling, but it's hard to get back there as an adult. Stress from your real life can start to seep into your vacation time or even worse, cause you to not take one at all. Having a stress free vacation (assuming you don't bring your mother-in-law) is within your reach and it starts with a massive overhaul of how you plan for your vacation. Plan at Work One of the hardest things for people to do is to unplug from work, but it can be done. First of all, alert people such as co-workers and clients when you ...
