Travel Deal*: Free Lodging Anywhere You Go
2009-11-09 16:00:00 Other than flights, your hotel will be one of the biggest cost factors for your vacation. One great way to save money on your hotel is to try to Couchsurfing. The first reaction I get from many people when I tell them about Couchsurfing - a website that connects travelers with people willing to offer them a couch, a floor, or in many cases, a spare bedroom with comfortable queen-sized bed - is "No way. I would never let a stranger stay in my house." If that's your first thought....you can probably stop reading now. But if the idea of connecting with locals around the globe, getting a free place to stay, and in return offering help in your own...

Travel Bargain: Couchsurfing = Free Lodging on Vacation
2009-11-07 16:04:00 Take a look at this post introducing the concept of Couchsurfing over at Chicago Now's travel blog, Chicago Outbound. As a cheapskate, I love the notion of couchsurfing, which means staying on other peoples' couches or in their spare bedrooms for free. Sure, that's something backpackers have always done, but nowadays they have a Web site so you can find your couches to sleep on or offer up your own.

Travel Deal of the Week: Cheap Fares on Southwest
2009-10-27 14:45:00 Drewski2112 via Flickr I'm a huge fan of Southwest Airlines. I like the 'no assigned seating' policy. I like that they don't charge for checked bags (even though I always carry on). I like that they even give you snacks. Snacks! Who does that anymore? But of course, what I really love about Southwest is that they always seen to have a great sale going on. The current sale is no exception.

Travel Deal of the Week: Half Off Flights to Poland!
2009-10-23 14:00:00 Krakow (Smif via Flickr) I already posted some great flight deals from Chicago yesterday, but in my opinion, there's so no such thing as too many cheap flights. So here's another deal, and this one is pretty amazing. For the next 40 or so hours, all flights on Polish carrier LOT Airlines are half off. Yes, half off. All flights. Flights to destinations in Poland, like Warsaw and Krakow, are half off. Flights to Amsterdam, Prague, Zurich, Moscow, Munich, and every other destination the airline flies are all half off. Base prices are shockingly low - around $300 round trip - but of course the taxes and fees will add up. Most flights that I checked came out to...
Pricebolo Ties Up With Ixigo – Price Comparison Comes To Travel Ticke
2009-10-23 07:27:00 I am sure you’ve done this before while street shopping – Bargain. Russell Peters once said that it’s in the blood of all Indians to bargain wherever they go shopping. Regardless of the country, irrespective of what they’re buying, getting the best deal becomes their eternal right. Well, that’s Peters’ opinion. But, to some extent it holds some truth, doesn’t it? And, why not flaunt it, yeah? If not bargaining, we at least compare the prices to make sure we’re not being harassed by our friends after spending extra money for something, unknowingly. Even travel tickets for that matter differ from airlines to airlines, travel agencies and so on. One such site allowing users to compare prices of commodities before buying them, tied up with a travel portal that aims at making travel related search easier. That’s right, we’re talking about the recent tie up between PricesBolo.com and iXiGO.com. Their mutual consolidation will ad...

Travel Deal of the Week: Last Minute Cheap Flights in November
2009-10-22 20:00:00 It's the end of the year, and if you are like many of my co-workers, you have a pretty big stash of vacation time left over. November is the time to use it, particularly if you are looking at international destinations. Not many people travel in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving or in the time between that holiday and Christmas, which means its fairly easy to find a great deal. For instance, in two weeks, flights on Spirit Airlines from Chicago to Honduras are just $350 per person (they are closer to $700 each in spring). Flights from Chicago to Tokyo on US Airways are just $638 (they go up to $1600 the following week!). Flights to Istanbul are...

In The Salt Range
2009-10-21 04:47:00 The Salt Range derives its name from extensive deposits of rock salt. It stands as remnant of forts with bastions and temples. Exceptionally, this region maintains an almost continuous record of history that can define the evolution of society. Forts and temples surviving along the range are a reminder of how untouched many of the ancient remnants are. Alexander from Macedon came to this range twice: one from Taxila and later once his forces refused to go any further from the banks of the River Beas. From here he marched towards the Arabian Sea on his way to Babylon. And, now an NGO is constructing the monument of Alexander near Jalalpur town in the foot of the salt range in district Jhelum.For those who take their first chance to the area, the landscape all along the Salt Range is rock-strewn, lacking in softness and loveliness. In many parts, it becomes barren and uninviting. But, in truth the range is dotted with historical wonders, romantic legends, archaeological remains, and v...

2009-10-14 06:58:00 Husain QaziPakistan has an amazing diversity with regards to tourism and natural beauty; lofty mountains, quiet deserts, picturesque wetlands and the fertile plains. Many of natural attractions are off the beaten paths and still unexplored though.Pakistan has one of the world?s largest canal irrigation network with three major reservoirs, 16 barrages and 44 canals. In addition to economic advantages, wetlands have a rich potential as tourism and recreation sites. The meandering rivers, quiet canals, vast expanses along with head-works, barrages and residential colonies with their serene and tranquil setting provide an excellent infrastructure for tourist and recreation resorts.?All work and no play make Jack a dull boy?. Believing in this adage, our school at Lahore used to organize outings and had explored many fine places in the vicinity that could be covered in a day trip. It was this feeling of nostalgia that prompted me to revisit Rasul Headwork?s after three decades.Visiting w...

Life at Mountains
2009-09-18 07:40:00 Climbing the mountain had been on my mind for almost all my life, particularly ever since I did a course in Rock Repelling and trekked some softer mountains up in the North. Let me hasten to add that yet I have not climbed K 2 or Nanga Parbat -- icons of Pakistani climbing, as identifiable and as famous as the Mount Everest. But I have been pretty close to them, at the distance that seemed nearly close enough to touch their summits. As a mountain lover, I had lived some of my life in the base camps of these majestic mountains and some others in Northern Pakistan; with some famous mountaineers, explorers and adventurers from all over the world or alone.Life at all base camps is almost the same. Mess tents are the best places in the base camps where every one huddles like a living rooms. It usually is a hole climbers dig in the snow or rocks and cover it with tarp or it is a natural cubby hole behind and in between rocks.

And the Vermont Chamber of Commerce has named it several years in a row as a Top Ten Event in Vermont. The event will be held at the Stowe Events Field on Weeks Hill Road, just off Route 108. It runs this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On the same weekend, there's a very large street rod show at the Champlain Expo Center put on by the National Street Rod Association.
