Labor day is near - but you can still take a road trip!

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

According to AAA, gas prices are at their lowest levels since 2004: more that eighty cents a gallon less than the same time last year. While Labor Day is usually more of a “staycation” holiday for most, AAA and the Institute for Highway Safety estimated that, last year, 34.7 million travelers took trips of more than 50 miles - and 86% of those trips were by car. This year looks like it is going in the same direction!

So - this is the year to take one of those exciting road trips, given the low price of gas. You can till find great deals - especially in:

Orlando, Florida
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
San Diego, California
Toronto, Ontario Canada
Gatlinburg, Tennessee

So yes- the Labor Day weekend is just around the corner. But - all you have to do is get in the car - and go!

Do you know who (and what) you should tip while traveling?

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

Traveling brings on a whole new set of "who to tip" questions that you don't usually face. Do you tip the doorman, the bellman, the housekeeper - or the flight attendant?

Taking city tours while travelling

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

When I travel I tend to spend many hours researching where to go and what to do. This planning can be very stressful and to be honest, I’m not very good at it. Taking a city tour is an inexpensive way to avoid some of that unpleasantness. Plus, I had never really considered the fact that everyone knows about the places mentioned online. It would be nice to learn about the places the locals appreciate and so few tourists really get to see.
