Considerations of Timeshares

Timeshares (shared vacation homes) can be great, but if you are considering this, here are some things you should consider.

1.You have to pay maintenance fees, usually in January, for vacation homes.

2.Make sure the seller has an escrow arrangement with the solicitor or accountant to handle the sale of the property and transfer of funds. When you are satisfied with everything, release your money and certify the transfer.

3.Reselling timeshares can be complicated, so research your investment thoroughly.

4.Be careful of special discounts or prizes offered only if you sign up for vacation homes right away. These are often scams.

Consider Cruises

Cruises are a wonderful way to take cheap vacations. They include accommodations, all the food you can eat and entertainment. On cruises, you only have to pay for optional on-shore excursions and souvenirs. It would be nearly impossible to find a hotel that compared in price to a cruise and had the extras you find on-board a cruise ship. You also get to travel to a variety of places while you are on a cruise. Check out the following Online Exclusives - Find the Perfect Cruise

Hotel Safety Tips

1.Do not stay in a hotel room above the sixth floor. The ladders of the Fire Department will not be able to reach you.

2.Check for smoke detectors, sprinklers and know where your nearest exit is in case of an emergency.

3.Don't stay on the first floor of the hotel if the doors or windows open outside.

4.Select a hotel with electronic locks. The locks are changed after each guest so the key cannot be duplicated.

5.Make sure your phone dials out of the hotel.

Tips When Choosing An Auto Rental

1.Search on travel websites for a cheap auto rental. Many sites allow you to put in a maximum amount you are willing to pay, so you are less likely to get blind-sided by hidden costs at the time of the auto rental.

2.Check with your car insurance company to find out if they will cover car rentals, instead of getting a rental policy through the rental car company.

3.Read the contract that you are required to sign before you sign it. Don’t allow yourself to be surprised when you return the auto rental.

4.Check the odometer. Make sure it matches the number written down on the contract.

5.Before you leave the lot, make sure you check the auto rental so you are not charged for prior damages.
