Saving on the family vacation
***ADVERTISEMENT***
As everyone probably knows by now, I am all about making the coinage. That is why this blog exists after all. It is documenting my attempts to use the internet, and blogging in particular, to generate a little more income.
But part of having more money is also saving money. One must be able to save what they earn, or they have nothing to show for it. Vacations used to be difficult and expensive. With the advent of the Internet, and the World Wide Web specifically, booking Hotel Reservations has become much easier, faster and more penny-pincher friendly.
Where ever you are going, what ever you are doing when ever you are going there and doing it, you can find the cheapest rates anywhere for hotel, air travel, car rental and just about anything else online. You basically become your own travel agent.
For instance, last summer the 5/8s and I went to Cancun, Mexico for several days while the kids were at Boy Scout summer camp. We booked out vacation at an all-inclusive resort online (through a company I won't use again because I just didn't like the way some things were done).
Next time, I will more than likely use Hotel Reservations. After looking around their site, and pricing a cost for a full week in Cancun, it was just a few dollars more than what we paid for only four days with the other online site. It did take a little time to hunt down Cancun in their extensive list of cities. It wasn't in the initial drop down box of destinations, and I had to click the "addition destinations" link to get to it.
All in all, the Hotel Reservations site is easy to navigate, and loads, changes pages and displays the information you want quicker han the other online travel sites I have visited. And their gallery of pictures of different hotels and resorts seems nearly endless. you can really get a feel for what the place you are looking at will look like in real life.
