Considering Vacations To South America?
When you book a trip during the later half of January and February, airline prices tend to be more affordable because most people are done traveling after the holidays until spring. Traveling in spring or autumn can save you a lot of money and avoid the large summer crowds. For summer travel, check your hotel has air conditioning (many do not). Make sure you check accommodation for air conditioning, many buildings, including hotels, are not air conditioned. Many hotels are fully booked months in advance. For popular attractions including museums, shows, amusement parks you will need to organize tickets well in advance of your arrival. When trying to cram your luggage into the overhead bin, soft-sided cases will have more give and be more easily stowed. Did you know that you can get up to 50% off your Greyhound bus ticket by booking two or more weeks in advance? Barcelona knows how to get down.
Sometimes you waste time slowing down because a big truck is slowing down. Many popular attractions also offer “skip the line” tickets and these can save you a lot of time and/or provide early access to some attractions before they become too crowded. For other places in Europe credit cards can still be difficult to use, especially at smaller establishments or in rural areas. If you can avoid travel to Europe in June and July, I would. In some places this can mean lower hotel rates, but it also means many small restaurants and shops are closed (the owner is away) and many “summer” programs have ended, i.e. summer opera.or theater programs run in June and July. I say most things, because in some very touristy places, for some reason, which I have not ever been able to work out, some attractions are only open during June and July. That said, most things are open during the high season and if you plan ahead you can usually get hotel rooms and tickets for attractions you would like to see. Depending on the country, some places are very credit card friendly- you can get by using very little cash if you want, i.e. Iceland.
The ATM is usually the best way to get cash. In doing so, you will be able to find the best deal for you and you will also familiarize yourself with all of the policies. Finally, check with different air carriers: you may be surprised at how much different the cost of your ticket will be when you shop around a little bit for the best rate. The lines will grow long a couple of hours later and you’ll have already hit your “must dos”. This is especially important if you are only planning to be there for a couple of days. Toilets often are not free and can be hard to find. Squat toilets (a hole in the floor) are not uncommon in Southern Europe (i.e. Italy). If your ATM card will not work overseas consider an electronic cash card, also known as a prepaid travel card for Europe or an international travel card.
Some countries will also require that visitors have proof of a return ticket and they won't allow you in the country without a return ticket. Foreign exchange fees are usually a percentage of the transaction amount for any transaction either outside your home country or not in your own currency. Always remember that you are a visitor in somebody else’s country. Prices are good at 150 dirhams for adults and 100 dirhams for children. To combat that, it’s a good idea to have a plan to track and safely carry your valuables. Keep them organised so you don’t have to mess about digging through pockets in your bag at the airport check-in. You should buy a bag you can keep inside without any problem. Buying a car is can be very economic option when you’re good in the industry and you can recognize what’s good deal or not. There is no better, and in fact Rimowa was the company who pioneered this particular type of lightweight/durable plastic specifically for the luggage industry. Pack a small plastic bag with toilet paper, hand sanitizer or wet wipes and some change and you will be prepared for whatever you find. Keep some change with you, as the cost varies usually from about .50 to a high as 1.50 euro to use the toilet.
