The Ultimate Travel Bargain!
Or . . . what to do if you don’t have enough time or money to travel this year.
Are you too busy or too broke to take a trip this year? Here are some alternatives. Contact your local Chamber of Commerce for a directory of all the museums, parks, and other attractions in your area, and/or check the Internet. Then go to the ones that interest you! Treat your home town the way you would any new city you’d be visiting. For example, how many New Yorkers have never seen the Statue of Liberty? Yet they’ll fly to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower!
Find out what plays and concerts are being offered by local talent. See what lectures are being held at your local library or college or are being presented by some local organization! What about local sporting events? Speaking of sporting events, try a new sport! Rollerskate, ride your bike, learn how to play tennis or golf or how to swim at the local YMCA; or take dancing or piano lessons!

Money Hints When Traveling Abroad
No matter what country you are traveling in, carry extra change (in local currency) for unplanned-for expenses like public restrooms. Many are coin-operated; and not all have an attendant on duty to make change. Also, many public parking lots require exact change in local currency to get OUT of the parking lot! That change will also make a nice, inexpensive souvenir that doesn’t take up a lot of room.
Don’t expect a free printed program when attending a concert or play. Most printed programs or playbills abroad cost extra, unlike the free programs you are accustomed to in the United States.
Watch out for those hidden charges at restaurants! Ask if that bread basket on your table costs extra. (It might!) Ask if there is a cover charge. Those wonderful, elegant, and expensive “fine establishments” have the most hidden charges. Don’t assume ANYTHING!
Luggage Forwarding Services Can Help You Travel Light
If you want to save time and money when traveling by air or train or bus, there is a solution. Travel only with carry-on luggage! No more lost luggage. No baggage fees. No check-in hassles or dragging your luggage onto the train, subway, bus, or taxi. Think of it. No more wasting time at the airport baggage claim area once you’ve reached your destination, hoping that all your luggage shows up.
Save time and money, and avoid lost baggage, by using only carry-on luggage. Ship additional items to your hotel via FedEx, UPS, USPS, or a luggage forwarding service such as luggagefree.com, globalbaggage.com, luggageconcierge.com, and luggageforward.com.
