RSS FeedTravel Sites Offer Fall Deals to Europe (Read a little about my Fall trip here!) Examiner.com
?!&Nbsp; While many may balk at the idea, Fall is actually a great time to see many countries in Europe as the weather is cooler, the crowds are smaller, and prices are lowered. Be warned that many sites close earlier or may not be open, the sun goes down a lot earlier, and you may have some unexpected weather. However, this may be a perfect time to visit if you have the time and money.Because this isn't peak travel season, many sites are offering Fall travel deals to Europe as noted in the New York Times. These deals aren't just a savings over summer but they are also a big drop over rates being offered at this time last year. Many of these offers have some great value like 44 percent off hotel rates in Dublin, 30 percent off flights to Madrid (from NYC), and 15 percent off flights to Paris and Rome compared to prices this time last year.
There are so many deals listed that it might be worth your time to see what is out there. You can take a look at the recommended deals in the New York Times article. However, if you are interested in seeing what deals you can find for yourself, I have compiled a list of sites which I have reviewed for you to check out for your airfare, hotel, and vacation package deals ( Popular , Aggregator , Discounter , and Decision Maker and Rebel sites). The New York Times article even talks a little about the Part IV of my series on Pros and Cons of travel sites, which will be available soon.
Travel Guide – Lisbon, Portugal
You are going traveling. You have lots of expenses to cover. You need to pay for your air fare, your accommodation, your food, your travel while away, cultural experiences and the list goes on. You want to save money so you decide not to bother with travel insurance. You are going on the trip of a lifetime so nothing will go wrong. It’s an unnecessary expense so you don’t need it. Wrong. Very wrong. Traveling with out insurance can be the biggest mistake you make when organizing your trip and a very costly one.
What is travel insurance? Well there are two kinds of insurance to look at when traveling.
1. Travel insurance, (sometimes called trip insurance) which covers cancellations, delays, lost baggage and emergencies.
2. Travel medical insurance protects you against any medical expense while traveling.
Ideally, you need a combination of the two when traveling.
Imagine these scenarios:
You are in Darwin, Australia when a cyclone hits the area. The city is devastated by the cyclone and all services shut down. You have to be evacuated and sent home. Your travel insurance will cover you for this. You do have travel insurance don’t you?
Your luggage goes missing in India. You need to buy new clothes and fast. Can you afford it in your budget? Of course you can, you took out traveler’s insurance – didn’t you?
Or what if you go surfing in Hawaii and take a big wipeout? You are so severely injured you need surgery and major medical assistance, and then are airlifted home. But that’s okay – your travel medical insurance covers all that. You have got it, haven’t you?
Travel insurance is there to protect you in case bad things happen on your trip. It is a necessary expense. Overseas medical costs can be astronomical if you are not insured. And if you are injured in a developing country, medical attention may not be as good as at home. If you are insured you can get flown home and attended to at no cost.
