Be a Travel Winner 11.16.11
While everyone is making plans for Thanksgiving and
stressing out over making dinner and spending time with family, I thought it
would be fun to bring you some great giveaways you can enter and dream about
getting away from it all. The best budget travel is free budget travel, so buy
a couple of bottles of wine to get through Thanksgiving and cross your fingers
that you win one of these awesome vacations.
I can't do a giveaway post without listing my own giveaway

One Card to Make Travel Easier 11.12.11
Do you find that you have a million rewards numbers for all
your stuff? Not just frequent flyer mile numbers, but car rental membership
numbers, hotel programs and more. I think we all have that problem these days,
with every company trying to get you to sign up for their program. They want to
research how customers spend their money and they give you certain benefits to
make it worth your while, too. Well, besides not being able to remember all those
numbers, it's also pretty much...

Chislehurst Caves: The Underground Town 11.9.11
Read all the way to the end for a brand new awesome giveaway!
It's not often we get to see what happens underground, which is a shame, because many times it can be super cool. In the past few years I've been fortunate to see many underground attractions, like Portland's Shanghai Tunnels. One of the others I add to my list is Chislehurst Caves. A short train ride from London will get you there and it's not a far walk from the station. Chislehurst Caves was listed as an included...

Zoos (and Aquariums) Around the World 11.5.11
Do you love animals? If you do, then you and I would get
along just perfectly. I have loved animals and the zoo for as long as I can
remember. It was a favorite family activity, because it was fun, affordable and
took up most of a day. These days the zoo can cost a little bit more, but there's
so much to see and you can bring your own food, take a camera and enjoy a great
outing. The fact is, we both have such fond memories of the zoo, that we plan a
visit anytime we are on vacation. Who...

Review (and Giveaway!): Space Bag To-Go
I have a tendency to pack light on my way somewhere and then buy too much stuff and not be able to fit it all in my luggage on my way back. I've learned to combat this in several ways. One of them is to pack an extra bag, like a tote, that I can use to put overflow on the way home. Another way, which I thinks is genius is to pack a set of Space Bags with me. From the first I heard of Space Bag, I was totally hooked on the idea and have bought them for my house, for packing and keeping my...

Visit the Dead in Paris 10.29.11
Since Halloween is just a few days away, I decided to recall one of the most interesting places I've ever been that was creepy, cool and also almost free! You don't often come upon places like this in your travels, and if you do, it doesn't seem like other people think it's as fascinating as you do (which can be good if you're trying to avoid crowds). When I go to a place, I like to see things that tourists are into and then things that most tourists wouldn't even think of doing. In London...
