Experience a little hut over the water!

In the movies you always see a couple enjoying the extravagant vacations with little huts over the water. I know I always think to myself, man I want to experience that. Then I ponder on how much it would actually cost. Well surprise!! It’s affordable if you save smart. For just about $100 per month in savings you’ll be closer to your Hollywood vacation in no time.

With Tahiti Tourism North America you can customize your Hollywood vacation to your wants and needs and still stay in your budget. You can also visit more than one island in the same vacation. You can practically experience more than one adventure in one trip! Tahiti has lots to offer, from the islands to the excursions, and the culture it’s a guaranteed good time! The site itself feels like an adventure; you can view Tahiti’s History and Culture where they choose to discuss the origin of the word tattoo (from Tahiti) and they discuss their music and dance. The site it very user-friendly and it attracts you instantly (like every good vacation website should).

The Vacation Deals tab looks promising because this is where the fun begins. Here you can begin planning your dream vacation and customizing your wants and needs. From excursions, island hopping, to dining and accommodations you can choose every detail. This is definitely a vacation I’m saving up for as we speak. I am very determined to partake in my Hollywood vacation. Soon I’ll be enjoying the weather and water in Tahiti.

Has Anyone Tried Coach Surfing?

Regardless of how the name sounds this activity has nothing to do with channel surfing. Coach Surfing is the largest hospitality exchange network, with over 1.6 million members in 234 countries. This is a website set up so people can find coaches to crash on while they travel.

After registering, which is free, members have the option of providing very detailed information and pictures of themselves and of the sleeping accommodation being offered, if any. The more information provided by a member improves the chances that someone will find the member trustworthy enough to be their host or guest. Names and addresses may be verified by volunteers. Members looking for accommodation can search for hosts using several parameters such as age, location, gender and activity level. Home stays are entirely consensual between the host and guest, and the duration, nature, and terms of the guest’s stay are generally worked out in advance to the convenience of both parties. No monetary exchange takes place except under certain circumstances (e.g. the guest may compensate the host for food). After using the service, members can leave a noticeable reference about their host or guest.

Has anyone tried this? Because I am dyeing to give it a try. Check it out for yourself

Getting Ready For That Trip

If you’re like me, having a checklist is always a good idea. There are so many things to remember just every day things, let along for a vacation. Did I mention vacation? Snap, I think I did! Travellerspoint.com has a convenient checklist to help you get all the things you’ll need for that next vacation you’re planning. So maybe now is a good time to go down the list, and then hit up Dick’s Sporting Goods for some of things suggested. I have to admit to “permanently borrowing” some Nalgene bottles and tubs from my parents a couple of years ago. They’re great! Or you could try ContainerStore.com if you wanted to just handle it right from the computer. I like the list says “21 tips” but the final tip is # 22. But then I’m a little perverse like that.

Where do you think your next vacation will be?
