travel secrets exposed

Going on a cruise or any distant travel ?

The majority of the expense is getting there.

We find the places in-between the beginning and the final destination offer opportunity that should not be overlooked. They can add to the overall experience an extention to the vacation.

It always ends too soon.

If you are already there take advantage of the offerings. We always, in the planning stages look closely at all the possibilities along the way, of getting to our final destination.

Could be that for a small added price to the trip, you can spend a couple extra days involved in exploring.

A new experience in a new place.

 Most everywhere has a claim to fame. Everywhere has cultural attractions, museums and the such many will coincidentally have festivals or fairs happening, all of these things are worth your experiencing.

Don’t be guilty of overlooking opportunity, research your travel.

Many times we will purposely book a flight with a long layover, there are some fantastic airports and hosting cities

More of them all the time, are offering tours for the long layovers. Some of the best we have experienced are Narita- Tokyo Japan,  Inchon- South Korea and Changi- Singapore and there are so many others.

I love the small out of the way places everyone else overlooks. So often these places are so full of attractions, that they become the next destination on our bucket list.

It would take me a life time just to tell you of the storys and experiences we have had in the middle of a trip to somewhere.

For you, it could be anywhere.

So on to a experience, we were booked for a cruise out of port Lauderdale.

It did not take much research to see there was plenty to see and do, in fort lauderdale city, so we booked two extra days going and two returning, it was well worth it for the price of the motel room and food.

Seriously the initial trip of 9 days including flights to and from and a 7 day Cruise abought $6000. Then for a added $500 + or – change, we extended it to 13 days and had a way larger overall experience on this vacation.

We stayed at a less than one year old Comfort suites hotel they are basically 100 per. night.

We look for Clean first,  and we are expecting Good friendly service. We were not disapointed.

The Breakfast was the normal hot and cold selection self serve, it got the job done and plenty fruits available for the daily journey. We found some great restaurants while we were there.

We like our vacation experiences to be hands on.

We used the bus, public transportation, it was a easy to understand system and economical to ride and got us where we wanted to go.

I will just mention some highlights for us. The new acquaintances we just love to meet new friends, Hollywood & Dania beach & Flamingo gardens.  There was so much more Sawgrass mall, nature trails, wild life we have never been around before it was wonderful and fascinating so happy we did not miss this.

What I am trying to say, its all worth it when you take the time to look.

Our advice is take the time and look.

Love you all, enjoy all your vacation’s.
