It’s the end of the year and I have been bombarded by friends with their year end holiday planning. Oh, how I envy them! It’s high time I take a vacation as well but I just can’t seem to find the time.

From what I hear the trend now is to go on all inclusive vacations where everything will be provided for and what we have to do is just to turn up! Isn’t it exciting that we no longer have to do all the nitty gritty planning and stress out ourselves?

A friend of mine has already made reservations for one of those all inclusive resorts. According to him, these are very popular in the Caribbean and Jamaica too and I guess it is true what the many all inclusive Jamaica travel packages that I read.

If you check out the website of SuperClubs resorts, you will understand why all inclusive Jamaica resorts are so well accepted. They are simple marvelous!

I am sure you have read a few posts on my friend’s preparation of her Hawaiian vacation. Another friend of mine read those posts and asked me if it would not be too late to plan for a trip to Hawaii for early December. I am sure that there would be places that could still help her with reservations for one of the Kauai vacation rentals, for example.

So far, this friend has already done a little research and planning but has yet to make definite travel arrangements. Well, I told her that she could try to see if flights and accommodation are still available. I know that some agents would even be able to give discounts to last minute bookings. I don’t know how they are able to provide that because for the few times that I made last minute travel plans, I was charged a premium!

Anyway, my friend read up as much as she could on Hawaii Vacation Info from the Kauai Travel Blog.

I did mention to her that Hawaiian Beach Rentals offers a beautiful array of beach rentals at very reasonable prices that would not break her holiday budget.

I mentioned before that a friend of mine, Fariz, is based in Egypt working in the Oil & Gas sector. We all know how rich those guys are, don’t we? Still, Fariz prefers to look for cheap flights to Egypt for his family to visit him when they have a break off school.

His family is based in London, so making is the occasional trip to Egypt is rather expensive, according to Fariz, but thanks to Holiday Hypermart, he would be able to give the family trips to Egypt as often as he could afford it, and he could also go back to London more frequently.

If you are in Europe, you may want to check out Holiday Hypermart to get the most out of your travel budget.

A long time ago, a friend of mine asked me if I have the chance to go on a holiday and cost is not a problem, where would I go. I told him that I have no idea and perhaps I would just bump around where ever catches my fancy.

Now, I know better and based on the experiences of family and friends, the latest of whom just returned from an All Inclusive Mexico trip, all inclusive vacation is the only way to holiday in style.

Unfortunately, he is no longer with us and so I am unable to show him the fantastic all inclusive holiday packages that are being offered by Karisma Hotels. According to my friends, once you have experienced vacations like these, you would want no other because the rest will never measure up.

I wrote quite a number of times that I am thinking of getting out of the country for a holiday but to be frank, the airfare makes me cringe! It is not cheap at all despite knowing the boss of a local travel agency!

This morning, I came across the website AirValues.com which sells cheap air tickets. We get to save up to 65% on air tickets and that is a considerable amount of money! With the savings, we can most probably buy a cheap student airfare and bring along my late cousin’s daughter for a holiday.

Besides buying air tickets from AirValues.com, we could also use the powerful search engine on the site to search for air tickets for many more international routes from their airline partners. I think that everyone should be given the chance to travel and with such a hefty discount on airfare, there certainly is no excuse not to take a vacation break anymore.

If you are planning a trip for the year end holidays, it is nor too late to check AirValues.com. You cheap air tickets are just a mouse click or phone call away!

Just now, I had a chat with my friend who told me that he managed to make reservations at one of the hotels in orlando with a deep discount. He was so happy because he said that with the savings, he would be able to enjoy the city more, instead of wasting more than half his budget on accommodation alone.

My friend is a seasoned traveler so he is very well informed in where to get the best deals in flights, accommodation, car rentals, vacation rentals and stuff like that. He told me that should I plan a trip to sunny Orlando, I would be stupid not to make my hotel reservations through the site that he recommends. Well, he knows that I love discounts, so why would I let this pass?? I am just surprised that making reservations directly with the hotel is more costly!

My sister told me that she won a pair of Disney Tickets in a company raffle. Well, that’s good news but my sister told me that even if she bought them, they are not expensive because she knows where to buy her discounted Orlando theme park tickets. Perhaps her company got them at a discount too and nobody would be any the wiser. Haha!

However, according to my sister, it will come in handy when she makes a trip to Florida early next year and a little savings here and there goes a long way. I was also told that these tickets sell like hot cakes and vacationers would have to plan their trip well and make sure that all tickets are bought way before departure date to ensure that they don’t end up going to Orlando and not get to enjoy their various theme parks. That would be awful, wouldn’t it?
