Top Ten Reasons To Pick A
Vacation Rental
by: David Leonhardt
We are planning a family trip for just a few days.
That is my
family, my brother's family, and my other brother's family. Our mother
will be joining us, too. That makes four households, seven adults and
six children all under three years old. Praise to my brave (foolish?)
wife who has somehow volunteered to coordinate the arrangements.
Even reserving months in advance, we were unable
to get four
rooms adjoining at the motel, all with the right view and on the right
level. If we were going for longer, we would probably rent a house as
we have done before. There are vacation rentals in almost every corner
of the world, but they are particularly common in high-tourist areas
like Florida, California and the Mediterranean countries.
Here is my top ten list of why a family should
pick a vacation rental (and specifically a vacation rental home):
1. Not toiling to find ideal, adjoining rooms.
2. Everybody gets privacy, without having to worry
about where the kids are.
3. You don't have to share the common area with
strangers, but you can still lounge around together.
4. More than one bathroom. Need I say more?
5. Lots and lots and lots of more room. This is
usually the main selling feature.
Todays Travel Tip
Lots of the new ships are now charging for extra activities like
miniature golf and in line skating, among others things. Be sure
and find out what activities are not included before making a
commitment. These fun & games can really add up. Our Pauper
enjoys playing as well as the next guy; he just likes doing so with
money in his pocket! Check back tomorrow for
another tip.
P.S.
If you have ever wanted to travel like the "rich and famous," here is
your opportunity. The Pauper's Secret Confessions alone, are
worth 10 times the cost of this book. Never take another trip
without being prepared!
