hello there! My family and I are intending on going on a cruise for Christmas -instead of purchasing presents- we have a travel agent, but we are also individually looking for the best deals on cruises. if you know of any websites that allow you to book cheap cruises (i don’t expect a a night cruise, but i want one under 0 a night) that have GOOD, CLEAN rooms and the boat in general is sanitary..that also has lots of activities for kids (and the adults(; ) Thank you!!

Hello, I’ve been to France before but only to Paris for 3 days at a time (been several times). I absolutely loved it. This time I’m planning to go next summer after my sister and I graduate with our Masters with family who’ve never been abroad before.

1) Wondering when is the best time to look/buy airfare tickets online?

2) Perhaps should I check with AAA or othe travel agents for a good deal? Ideally I’d like to stay the whole summer, but realistically 2 weeks in France/Europe.

3) How much money should we bring with us abroad besides 2 credit cards each? I calculated so far a day on food x 14 days length of vacation = 0 US dollars excluding fun excursions. Only 4 adults and the rest children in school so they’ll be able to get into venues free.

4) Don’t want to stay in hostels…never did so other than hotels would renting an apartment in France be too expensive for a family of 8? Have you ever staying in rented apartments abroad during your vacation?

Thank you & hope to hear from you all soon!
To me I didn’t feel as if France wasn’t as expensive as everyone recalls; then again I haven’t been back since the economy has been down. Clarifications, I was referring to a day per person in the regards to wanting to eat out when not cooking in the kitchenette. My fault for not being specific enough. My family and I have been saving in conjunction to what we’ll get with income tax come next year we think we can do it. If not…I’m still going on my own!

Husband is getting outta the Army, he got 80% disability. We’re doing the Dity move. We will have around 7-9k pounds of stuff. We’re probably going to go with Budget rental. We were quoted for the 24′ truck and the all four tires off the ground car pull at around 1600, My mom is looking at pricing because she thinks she can get it a little cheaper than that, so hopefully around 1300ish or something.. and then with gas I’m assuming that’ll be anywhere from 1k to 1500 which is what I’m also getting quoted at. We don’t plan on doing hotel trips often. Probably every 2 days? Just to save money. Just to shower up and get back on the road. My husband is trying to avoid the mountains so we may go down towards CA and then across.. We honestly need ideas.

We DO have 2 pugs, they are obviously smaller dogs. With the car pull, its all 4 wheels off the ground, would it be safe to get a kennel and put them in the back of the car along with like the cooler with food, etc.

MY QUESTIONS ARE;
1. Is there any good like deals on truck rentals?
2. Would the 2 wheels off the ground of 4 wheels off the ground be safer, or does it matter? The reason I’m thinking 4 is so we can put things in the car.. and also, it won’t hurt the tires, etc.
3. My husband is afraid of driving the truck, literally afraid. Any tips or is it really as hard or as easy as people are saying?
4. Food ideas to take with us? Whats things we can put in the cooler that will be like cheaper than stopping at Mcdonalds, Taco bell, etc?
5. Is there any easier way to travel with dogs? I’m being told that I could put them in the front with us because its able to fit 3-4 adults in the bigger trucks, so I may do that.. but any tips traveling almost 3500 miles with 2 pugs? Any medicine for them? Any tips for peeing and pooping, etc?
6. Any ideas how to make this trip cheaper?
7. Any people that have done the Dity move that can tell me how much they got, etc?

I just need a lot of help and the person with the best answer gets "best answer", and itll make me really happy. ANY advise would be amazing. We plan on taking turns with driving, but driving as much as possible a day.. any things that may make the drive better? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
