Save Money While on Vacation
Going on vacation often means indulging here and there on purchases. When you travel, you may want to be sure you are spending your hard earned money in the smartest ways.
Here are some suggestions on how to make your next vacation memorable and affordable!
Be flexible – Travelers who are flexible in their departure dates and times can usually find great deals and rates because they have the ability to shop price instead of date.
Pack light – Many airlines now charge extra for baggage fees, especially suitcases. Pack only the necessities.
Use coupons – Coupons aren’t only for getting cents off your brand tissue at the supermarket. Coupon and discount codes are available for just about any purchase – even vacations. Check all travel websites to see if there are any deals and specials going on when booking your trip.
Plan meals – Look into economical restaurants before departing. Know where you’ll be eating and when.
Rent small – If you are renting a car, choose the smallest model that will fit your needs. In addition, there is no need to pay for a large room that you don’t plan to spend much time in.
Consider public transportation – Investigate public transportation options near your destination. Such options may not be as convenient as taxis, but they may be more economical.
Make your next vacation unforgettable!
Today is my last full day in Sevilla. We were still tired from all the traveling and woke up pretty late. We went to this restaurant that we’ve been wanting to try for brunch. I had a cappuccino and a sandwich. We then decided that since it was so nice out that we wanted to walk along a near by river. There were many shops along the river which was perfect for all the last minute souvenirs we had to get.
When then stumbled upon a food stand that had the most amazing churros and chocolate. I’ve been wanting to try this all trip and it was so good. We then walked through a nearby town by the river and since it was so nice out, there were many people walking around. On our way back we came across another little market that had hand made bowls and plates and things like that. All of the art is so beautiful here. After the market we stopped for gelato. I am defiantly going to miss the amazing food and desserts and coffee here. It’s just too good. After our gelato we walked back to Jessica’s apartment to pack and get ready to leave early in the morning. This has been one of the most amazing trips and I am going to miss being in Europe with my best friends but it’s time to head back to New York.
and fries in such a short amount of time but I am not complaining. After dinner we asked the waitress where she recommends us to go out that night. She recommended an Australian bar named CoCos. We ended up going there and had the best time. There were people there from many different countries. We sang a few karaoke songs and ended up having the best time.
Amsterdam statue. We finally found it and got to see a little show of street performers doing amazing tricks. We took several pictures in front of the gigantic statue and then headed back to the hotel. We have to be at the airport at 5am so we decided to pack and rest for a little bit. We then decided to go out for dinner and dessert. We stayed there for a while and before we knew it, it was almost time to go to the airport. Amsterdam was so much fun and definitely one of my favorite cities. But for now we are back to Sevilla, Spain.
ready for dinner and the flamenco show. Flamenco is a type of spanish folk music and dance. This was my first flamenco show and it was so much fun. We went to a local bar and it felt like we really got to experience the Spanish culture through music. After the show we were exhausted and headed back to the apartment. Check back next week to hear about the next part of my adventure! We are Amsterdam bound!
