Great Book for Budget Travellers

Mama Mia — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 03:58:00 +0000

My hubby and I planned to travel with the family someday. He said that we should plan our travel and save for it. We always wanted to see different places both local and abroad.

Anyway, since we are future budget travelers, it is an utmost importance that we should know our destination very well to avoid waste of money. Though there are many travel websites and blogs out there, it always pays to know what to expect in a certain place since most of this sites advertise but does not tell you the truth.

Just this month Peter Greenberg of www.petergreenberg.com launched his book entitled “Don’t Go There.” This book is a compilation of places around the world that warns you not to go or visit certain places because it would surely waste your money and some may even be a threat to your life.

In my own opinion, books like this are certainly a great buy. It tells you the truth and gives you a due warning before hand thus making it easier to book and travel to desirable and worry-free destinations. Like us, we are planning to bring the children along, so it’s not good that we expose them to health threatening environments.

Anyway, I believe that Peter Greenberg did a good thing for travelers like me!

Hotel Bookings

Mama Mia — Thu, 01 May 2008 14:43:00 +0000

Do you make preparations before you go on a dream vacation? Well, I do. I am not that rich but I always do hope that someday I can have a grand vacation with my family outside the country. I wanted to visit famous cities in the US and Europe. Especially cities reach with history.

It’s a good thing you can now check hotel prizes online. You can save and adjust your budget. One of the website platforms when it comes to browsing for information on hotels is EasyToBook.com. They have the most detailed information on hotels particularly in European cities. I browsed their listings in cities like of London and Rome. When I tried searching information on New York hotels, I was amazed that they have substantial information too! They can give you rates and information from One Stared hotel to Five Stars. The website is also easy to navigate. I think most users will find it easy to handle. They also did a fantastic design!
