How to Make Cheap International Calls from Anywhere You Travel
The focus of this blog is to show you cheap travel options without compromising your travel safety, quality, and comfort. In this post, I’ll show you how to make cheap international calls from anywhere you travel.
You can use international calling cards when you travel overseas to call back to the USA. Great savings! If you have ever tried to call back home using the hotel phone, then you know what I am talking about — a big bill!
Now you can be paying as low as 2 cents a minute to call from Mexico (or any other country!) back to the USA with these international calling cards; and you can still use your hotel phone!
Just dial the provided local number or toll-free number for the specific country you are calling from. Calling back to the USA from most countries could be as low as 2 cents a minute. Talk about cheap travel!
How to Rent a Car by the Hour

I can’t remember the first time I heard about Zipcar, but I remember the first time I rented one. I was on a trip to New York, staying down in Soho, and needed a car for only a few hours to travel north of the city. But I didn’t know how to rent a car by the hour.
I knew from past experience that renting a car in Manhattan from a traditional agency was very expensive and sometimes not even possible due to lack of available vehicles.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Zipcar, its motto is: “Wheels when you want them!” The company describes itself as “the world’s leading car-sharing network,” with more than 605,000 members looking for a convenient, cost-effective, and enjoyable alternative to car ownership, allowing you to rent a car by the hour if that’s all you need.
How to Legally Travel to Cuba in 2012
While independent travel to Cuba is still not legal for Americans, the Grand Circle Foundation is licensed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control to offer “Cuba: A Bridge Between Cultures,” a 12-day People-to-People program designed to foster meaningful cultural exchange between Americans and Cubans.
The program operates in small groups (12-20 participants) and is open to all Americans, although the program is geared to and paced for the 50-plus market. This is a unique opportunity to legally travel to Cuba.
The itinerary includes five nights in Havana, Cuba’s capital city; two nights in Cienfuegos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s also known as La Perla del Sud (the Pearl of the South) because of its beautiful harbor area; and three nights in Trinidad, another UNESCO World Heritage Site that recalls life in Cuba’s 19th-century glory days.
