cheap holiday

Well since it is the season for holidays and everyone is on a holiday i am it is timely that i blog about it as well. Well i just got back from a short trip locally and i had some interesting points or maybe to reinforce the point which many have already know it.
When finding for a place to stay :
Many will want to stake a place which is well establish and has a well known but does it really provided a value for money place to stay. After all you are half the time out of the room and therefore u just need a place to shut the eye and a good shower. Beside that you will most probably would not be able to sleep on the first nite as it is not your actual home room and the comfort of your own bed. Well so  find  a place which has good reviews and do your homework, ask your friends around and some might suggest this and that but at the end of the day use your own head and your know expenses.Somehow I also got a suggestion from a friend and read the review on the net about the place and i got a good deal. The place for once was new and clean and had the basic things. However the place threw in dinner as a good bait for its customer, as normally you only get bed and breakfast but this was such a good deal.
Eat breakfast like a KING : Well since you have paid for the room and get free breakfast, why aren't you eating it like you are suppose to eat. Well you should know that with an empty stomach you will not be able to see much and thinking of that growling stomach each time. So might as well eat to your heart's content and enjoy your meal. Just make sure that what you have eaten can last you till late in the afternoon.

Next point is always have a tupperware ready with u as you can always get boiled water from the hotel kitchen and this manner you are able to save some money buying mineral water or drinks but use that money to get some nice things for you to remember.

Another pointer is that always take along sufficient clothing and if you do not have or run out of T-shirts, just get some from the place where you visiting. Never over pack your bag and it should be only half full with your basic clothing. If your are going to a place with for two weeks, might as well as take along disposable underwear and panties. just wear and throw. :) Well just need to know where and which trip you need to bring and where you do not need to bring along.

Another pointer is that you must always activate your credit cards from where your card has been issued. I still remember when i was at VASA museum during my first trip oversea to Sweden and wanted to pay with my credit card but it was not working. Luckily I had sufficient cash with me to get the purchase but i will never forget the lesson learned the hard way. So make sure your credit card and your ATM are activated and can be used overseas.

Another pointer which i must include here is that, you must always have a few currency and compare which is giving you a better deal. Yeah most probably the US might be the most popular currency but that does not really mean it gets you the best deal with the local currency. So might as well get some US, some pounds and some other currencies which when your exchange you will be able to get the best deal. Compare and ask before your exchange as it is your hard earned money which you are changing so might as well get the best deal.

Well another pointer which is crucial that i share is that MINDSET. When you are on a holiday be bold and adventures to venture out to something different that the norm. I mean you should not be afraid to try out something new to eat or do something different for a change just to experience it. Only by experimenting new things will you know and learn about new things that you have read before and just wanted to try but never got a chance to do it. So go for a wonderful holiday and enjoy yourself to the maximum. Life it too short to regret when your old and ponder to yourself and say... how i wish i did that... now is the time... just go and do it.....have a wonderful and memorable holiday my friends.
