The British Virgin Islands are located in the Caribbean, and made up of four main islands and some smaller ones. It’s an extremely popular yachting destination, but what does it take to rent a sailboat in the British Virgin Islands?
Consider that before you even get the sailboat you need to travel to the BVIs, so your budget will include roundtrip airfare as well as a couple of days of hotel fares.
What’s the best days and times to fly? Well, it depends on who you talk to. Some say that if budget is an issue and you want to spend less on your airfare tickets, you should fly during the week, not on weekends. However, if you want to get a deal, moneysaving experts also advise purchasing it months ahead of time or snagging a ticket at the last minute. Confusing!
Want to take the kids on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise to Alaska? It’s a great destination to see some of the most beautiful glaciers, landscape and wildlife in the world and the kids will absolutely love it. When planning which cruise line is best for your family, consider Princess Cruise.
Want to get away on a romantic trip for two, but your funds are limited? Don’t worry. There are still great places you can visit even on a tight budget. All it takes is planning, research and creativity.
It’s important to note that the word ‘budget’ is different for everyone. For example, let’s say that you live in California and you’re on a budget, a trip to New York City may break your bank. It would include hundreds of dollars just in airfare and you haven’t even gotten to the Big Apple yet. Instead, a weekend jaunt to a local winery in the Napa Valley region may be more affordable for you. However, that might be one wine tasting that’s too expensive for a couple from Florida to enjoy. The good news is that there are wineries all over the United States including New York, and Michigan, so you might be able to find one close to you.
When you’re away from home and sleeping in a strange bed in a completely different time zone, getting a good night’s sleep can be difficult. But that doesn’t mean it has to be impossible. There are tricks you can use to make sure you slumber is peaceful.
Traveling is meant to be fun, but sometimes it can get stressful because of such unexpected moments as delayed flights, security lines and lost luggage.
To have a stress free air travel experience takes a lot of planning. In addition to taking the necessary steps to minimize the stress, you need to be flexible and have a positive attitude when it comes to handling any obstacles that may come your way.
