The cruise industry is exploding. If you have never been on one before, and you are interested in taking a cruise, you probably want to find the best cruise deals possible. The following tips can help you save money while setting up your cruise.

Don’t forget about the newspaper. We increasingly live in a technology driven society, so your first thought may be to scour for deals online. This is a good tactic, but be sure that you don’t ignore print media either. The Sunday paper often has advertisements for great cruise deals if you flip to the travel section. Particularly if you live in a large city, or you can get a paper from one, you should be able to secure a deal that allows for great savings on your trip. (more…)

I am going to be spending some time with my wife, my mother in law and my kids in the South of France. Her mother is from a village in the Rhone Valley and that is where she met her Father, who was stationed there with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization at some point in the late 1960′s. At any rate we have decided to take her back there to see the rest of her family and meet them ourselves. We shall start out at Toulouse and right now I need to find a Toulouse airport car rental place which can give us a good price on a mini van or even a full sized passenger van. (more…)

It took me a long time to figure out what to do for an anniversary gift, but I really think that I came up with something good. My Dad is going to be unhappy that I spent more than pocket change on it, he always says I should spend money on myself and his grandson. However I found some really great Cunard cruise deals and there was one which really stuck out. It was an incredible deal on a cruise to the Fjords of Norway and one of the ports of call is the place where my great grandmother was born in the 1920′s. She met my great grandfather while he was stationed in the South of England with the 8th Air Force and she was always talking about how she would love to go back to her homeland. My Dad speaks a bit of Norwegian that she taught him and he has always been interested in the country.

Better yet they have been talking about going on a cruise for as long as I can remember, but they have never been able to do it because of family commitments and financial pressures. I have a really great job and this is not really a big expense relative to my means. I am really excited about it and I know that they will love it. Pretty sure that they will try to claim that I should not have done it, but they have done an awful lot for me and they will not even let me pay them back for the money they spent on my five and a half years at Georgia Tech. That obviously cost a great deal of money, but was well worth it for me. It allowed me to be very comfortable and they deserve to know that I am grateful for all they have done.

I am going to be going on vacation to Heraklion, on the island of Crete, in a couple of months, and it seems like a good idea to go ahead and start planning the trip now, in order to make sure that I am able to reserve a place to stay while on vacation successfully. Right now, I am looking for a heraklion villa that is available for rent at good prices. I am hoping that I will be able to find a really nice villa to rent for a couple of weeks.
