So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Taking Advantage of Last Minute Trips

By Marco Orsi

You may have procrastinated and decided to wait until the very end to get a travel deal for the holidays. Even with that you can still find great travel deals during this time. You just need to know where to look. You can either contact the airlines, travel agencies or search on the internet.

If you plan to travel during the holidays at the last minute, you may run into a snag if you choose dates that are considered peak periods. For major holidays, spring break and peak business hours, you may pay more because the demand may be higher.

If you dont want to travel during peak seasons, you can always travel during low season travel periods when you can save money. Keep in mind that when you do travel, make sure to include a Saturday night stay. You can get some of the best airfare rates when you include a Saturday night stay. Travel agencies will be able to help you find some of the best deals available for last minute travelers. Be sure to give them as much information as possible about your travel including the following:

Departure and return dates Destination Time you would like to leave and return How much you can afford to spend Whether or not you need a car rental Any special needs you may have

Its important that they have this information. This is the way that they will be able to accommodate you at the best rate possible. If you dont want to use a travel agent, you can always check the internet. Make sure that you have time enough to do so. You want to have time to look over the information and the options that are available. There are plenty of websites to choose from where you can get the best rates at the last minute. You can do this for air travel, riding the train and going on a cruise.

Also keep in mind that, You must be prepared for the unexpected. Even though you look to have a nice time during your trip, things can and will happen. You could get ill or the weather may play against you. You must have an alternate plan in the event this happens to you. A lot of people dont think about that. You should seriously consider getting travel insurance. Even though this insurance is nonrefundable, its better to pay money for it and have it than not to pay and then something should happen.

Find out what is covered with travel insurance. You need to read all of the information and know what you are buying. You must be proactive in all aspects of your travel, including this.
