Here! There! Everywhere! I love to travel. Book a flight, reserve a
room, and I am already packing before the confirmation e-mail makes its
way to my inbox. With that said, I do have a least favorite moment when
traveling. And, it is not standing in line to go through a security check point, nor is it waiting for my bags to appear on the
carousel. It is the awkward pause when a
service provider, such as a bell hop, delivers my luggage to my room. I cringe at the thought that I must quickly calculate a tip, and
then dole it out.
Traveling abroad often puts me in a quandary. Is it customary to tip? If so, how much should I give?

Money Saving Tips
A cruise can offer hassle free travel with luxurious amenities without
leaving your wallet drowning, as long as you do a bit of thought-filled
planning. You'll be sure to fit in with the cruising crowd once you
implement a few easy ideas to reach the destination of your choice.
Port of Call
Before
booking a cruise, make sure you are aware of where the ship will be
leaving from. Choosing a ship that will be departing from a far off
destination may seem exotic, but beware, getting to that port of call
can tack on added travel costs. Air fair can to some locations can prove
to be quite pricy.

Wave Good-Bye to Travel Agents
When planning a trip, travel agents may be able to coordinate your
trip a whole lot quicker than you can but many times they tack on a
fee for their services. Also, often these agents are connected to
certain hotel chains and airlines which do not afford you the same
deals some others may. The agents often will get a kick-back each
time they book with a specific chain. Try booking your
reservations--whether at hotel, car service, vehicle rental or
airline--on your own where you are afforded the opportunity of
choosing from any number of service providers. By booking your stay
yourself, you can avoid the agents fees and be afforded more
options.
