A critical part of the travel budget is transportation and this often includes airfare. The frugal traveler does more than keep an eye out on the internet for discounted flights. He or she looks for more creative ways to stretch the travel dollars. Using Free Stop Overs When the hubby and I traveled to Australia the first time, we flew Air New Zealand. Why? Because the airline offered a free stop over in their hub in New Zealand. We had never seen the country and were planning to tour it anyway. This way, we didn't have to pay for airfare to and from. The second time, we traveled to Australia, we flew Air Tahiti Nui. This airline offered, you guessed it, a free stop over in Tahiti on the way...

In recent years, a number of lenders offered promotional "teaser" rates to tempt people into buying homes. Today, many people are feeling the pinch as those teaser rates come to an end and each mortgage resets to the actual interest rate. In fact, foreclosures are near record levels because of these teaser rate resets. If a homeowner cannot meet their monthly mortgage payment once or twice, often, the lending institution will easily and happily forgive it, and simply expect the homeowner to "double up" on the next payment. This makes sense because things happen to all of us from time to time when there just isn't quite enough money in the bank to make the mortgage payment. But after a series of...

One can also keep it for a longer time to reap the benefits of tax incentives and capital appreciation. The total cost should be calculated in accordance with the amount saved by writing off the tax-savings. The interest charges, property tax, repairs, insurance should also be included with the monthly amount. It should be...

In December 2005 my girlfriend and I took a weekend's city break in Barcelona in eastern Spain. At the time of booking our choice of destination was a toss up between Barcelona, Paris and Rome, none of which either of us had ever been to. For no particular reason, Barcelona came out on top and I'm very glad it did as we both had a fantastic time. This article is a brief summary of our weekend. Having just moved into a new house, we didn't have a very big budget to spend on this holiday so we found ourselves a couple of cheap flights to Barcelona, a low cost hotel near the city centre and bought the first guide book we could find.

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy during the summer holidays. Having read information about the tours we decided to do without travel agencies. We didn't want to stick to strict programs, to be in the crowds of tourists, losing lots of possibilities to get acquainted with the country more intimately so we started to think over our trip. We managed to do quite well: six days in Rome with a day-long journey to Florence. Italy took us by storm! We'll try to go there again! We spent less than we expected. Of course, we spend nerves and time to arrange the trip, but Italy was worth that! Of course I was afraid lest something goes wrong, I was especially anxious about the visa. But...

Well, being the adventurous and courageous retirees that we are, in 1997 we bought a beautiful new mountainside villa overlooking Banderas Bay and El Centro, or downtown in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The villa is actually a compound, surrounded by 10 foot walls with a walk-in gate and doors for car entry. Our initial thought while closing the doors during our first evening in our new villa was to hire a couple sentries to guard the villa at night. One could be positioned in front and the other down below on the backside facing the bay, thus providing the security required in this foreign new land...

But in my estimation, not any of these places even comes close to Boston as far as vacation destinations go.

And since I've been to Bean town so many times, I've picked up some great travel tips – as well as how and where to locate all the top Boston hotel deals.

So for example, a flight from London to Sydney can have a stop over in Hong Kong and on the return you can stop over at Singapore, all for the same price as a return ticket to Sydney.

In common with most of the states that came out of the ex-Soviet Union and that are now in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Armenia and Armenians took readily to casinos and gambling in general. Again, in common with their fellow states in the CIS, there had been a thriving underground, or illegal, gambling scene before the breakup. This was all a part of the almost insanely large black market or illegal economy that existed. As this economy exclusively (and necessarily) worked in cash, you can imagine that there were a lot of people around with large sums burning a hole in their pockets. With the fall of the Soviet Union, many of these businesses became legal, as did many of the...
