Ideas for Vacation Destinations

Not sure where to go this summer? Sometimes, it’s good to think outside the box and try something different. Here are some tips and ideas on vacation destinations.

Lakeside Cottage

There are lakeside cottages to be found all over North America. These cottages offer more than just scenery; many such destinations might be near historic sites, or even near shopping centers (some lakeside cabins feel remarkably remote even though they are close to the city). Lakeside cottages may also offer water fun, like water skiing, canoeing, and/or fishing. Hiking and nature exploration is another activity that is often part of a lakeside cottage stay.

Rent an RV

There are so many places you can go in an RV. You can make it a simple camping trip or do something more elaborate. Here are some ideas for vacationing in an RV:

-Park your RV in a forest or wilderness park and camp. You can hike during the day if you like and just use the RV as a home base.

-Drive somewhere new every day, staying overnight in RV parks. This may be a good compromise for those who like to be on the go and those who wish to stay put – you will be in a different place every night, but in the same “rooms.”

-Choose a destination such as Disney World/Land and park your RV in a park nearby. Then you can spend the day at the theme park and come “home” at night.

-Sight-seeing can be really fun in an RV. You can take a tour to see landmarks, historic sites, “world’s biggest” this or that, etc. You could also do a theme park vacation, visiting various amusement and theme parks. You won’t have to worry about hotel expenses, but you will need to plan ahead to make sure there’s a place to park your RV.

Horseback Riding

Have you thought about taking a horseback riding vacation? It could involve riding on trails and camping outside, or it might just be a daytime event. You can put together an exciting vacation around horseback riding, such as staying on a ranch and riding somewhere different each day.

Summer Skiing

Yes, you read that right. Head for the mountains for some snowy relief from the summer heat. There are destinations in the Alps, Argentina (the Andes), and other places. Taking the family skiing in the summer could be just the thing to beat the heat.

Invest in Property to Secure Your Retirement

Have you considered property investment to secure your retirement’s financial future? There are many great ways that you can let real estate build a nice little nest egg for your retirement, and the sooner you begin the process, the better.

While there are all kinds of stocks and mutual funds that confuse even the most intelligent among us, real estate is a straightforward business. The problem is that many people feel it is too risky. The truth is that there are many different types of real estate investing that all carry different risk to the buyer. One thing is for sure, and that is that with proper care and attention properties tend to gain value over time rather than lose value. If you purchase properties today and adequately maintain them, you can not only reap years of rental income while paying the mortgage on these properties, but you can also find your retirement home and pay today’s prices for it rather than the rates of tomorrow.

When it comes to real estate, it is always good to arm yourself with knowledge before taking any steps, and you should carefully discuss all plans for your financial future with your trusted financial planner or advisor. His or her job is to guide you when making plans and purchases that will affect your financial stability and security. They can also help you with the matters of taxation, cost analysis, estimated inflation, and the average rise in property value for an area.

As mentioned, before there are always risks when it comes to any investing. The same holds for real estate investing. Things can go wrong. On occasion, you will find lemon properties; for this reason, you need to have a complete and thorough inspection performed before you purchase the property. You should also make sure that you are aware of your state and local laws as they apply to landlords. For this reason, it is a good idea to consult with an attorney that specializes in financial investment in addition to your financial advisor.

Rental properties aren’t the only way to build a property investment portfolio. There are all kinds of property investment opportunities for those that are willing to take the risk. When it comes to property investing, the more significant risks often net the greater potential rewards. The thing you must remember is that you are gambling with your financial future. I tend to stick with rental properties as they are a safe bet and pay for themselves over the years while building a nice nest egg for my future.

There is the eternally fascinating investment opportunity that property flipping presents for one. When flipping a property, you purchase a property below market value—preferably one that requires minor cosmetic repairs. Make the repairs. Then sell the house for a substantial profit. It is a risky venture for those who are novices to the field, and many would be investors have lost a great deal of money doing this. Successful investors, however, can net significant profits in a short amount of time if they have the knowledge and skills to do the work themselves and time things correctly.

There are even more property investment opportunities that provide even higher risk, as they are highly speculative known as pre-construction investing. It is the investment that creates millionaires. On the flip side, it has sent many into bankruptcy along the way as well so tread very carefully before engaging in this sort of real estate investing and take great care never to spend more than you can afford to lose.

As you can see, there are ample opportunities in real estate to create an outstanding financial retirement plan for you and your family. You only need to decide whether property investment is the right thing for you.

Airline Price Wars – Capitalize on Your Air Fare

Most people travel to some degree or another, be it for vacation or work. Whether you travel a lot or just the odd vacation, you will want to make sure you get the best deal on any airline tickets. Taking a plane can be a bit pricey, especially when you add it into all the other expenses you must deal with when traveling, so making sure you pay the least amount of money is an important aspect to keep in mind.

If you are looking for some ways to help capitalize on Airline price wars and get yourself the best possible deal, then look no further. The following list of tips are things you can do easily, but despite being easy they can also save you a lot of money.

1: Book your flight in advance. If you know you are going to be flying somewhere months before your actual trip, then book ahead. Many airlines will offer discounts to those who book a month or more before their actual flight. You can also use the months leading up to keep tabs on the various competing airlines, as prices can fluctuate greatly as the different companies get into Airline price wars, driving overall prices down.

2: Be flexible. If you are going to be traveling somewhere, try to be as flexible as possible. What day you fly on, or even what time of the day can greatly affect your prices. If you book a flight during off days where people do not want to travel, as well as times when people do not travel, you can get huge discounts. It is a little more cumbersome, which is why a lot of people do not do it, but it is a great way to save yourself a little extra money.

3: Check for upgrades. A lot of airline companies will offer a variety of deal packages and upgrades that most travelers simply are not aware of. For example, active military personnel often get a discount on many flights. Other such great deals can be out there if you go looking, so with just a bit of investigative work you can save yourself even more money.

4: Bundle up. This is a more common approach to getting a good deal on your airline, as I am sure you have seen commercials telling you to bundle up your services. But it is true, if you bundle up your hotel, rental car, and flight you can often save money then if you had paid for each one separately. If you are going to be using these things anyways, why not take the cheaper approach?

Finding ways to save money on your trips really is not that hard. While it can be a bit time consuming, especially if you wait for Airline price wars to drive the prices down, it ultimately does not take that much effort and can make a huge impact. Every dollar you save on your traveling expenses is another dollar going to your vacation, or anything else you may want or need it for.
