Three Ways to Save Money While Traveling Abroad

If you are thinking of taking yet another vacation with your family or friends, now is the time that you should start thinking about budgeting when it comes to your travel plans. These are days that all walks of life are affected by the economic crisis and so it is essential that you do a little wise spending even as you enjoy your trip. This holds true most especially when you are travelling abroad. Here are a few tips that will help you to save some of your money so that you don't end up coming home broke.

Book Early


Many people think that last minute deals are the best but in reality, even though some a beneficial, the best deals can be found when you get online. The holiday parks abroad have some great deals on summer breaks at the moment and families can bag themselves a bargain. By booking early you can also by more choosy in what you pick as you have time to make a decision instead of having to choose under pressure, this is likely to save you money in the long run. So, consider to finder the best deals to save you some money.

Look for different Accommodation options


When travelling abroad you make a point of choosing the right location. There are some excellent self-accommodation options available meaning you can shop for some ingredients beforehand or at a local shop and make your own food there. This is going to be a bit more difficult and parents may not want to cook on their family break but you can save some money by doing so, so it is just a matter of weighing up the pros and cons of cooking and saving money or eating out and paying more. It's up to you. When shopping for a good deal you need to use lots of different comparison sites. Do not just use the main ones as you will not get the best deals. I would recommend going on alternativewebsites.com to find some alternatives to the big comparison sites.

Budget travel


These days, it is actually more trendy and wise to plan your trip around routes that are cheaper to fly. This is the reason all kinds of budget airline companies are sprouting up here and there across the world.


These airlines may not offer the same services that major airlines do but you can be sure that they are just as safe to travel on and you will be saving a considerable amount of money just by riding on them. You also stand the chance at a great adventure because these budget airlines have slightly different routes than major airlines do. This means that you will be landing in more exotic areas than you expect. Look into budget airline companies today and check out just how much fun you can have for less than the original cost.

This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun!

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
