Do you believe in those haunted hotel room stories?

I’ve heard of so many, and there’s always a favourite one that’s being told in so many different versions that you actually wonder how true the story really is after all. Well the reason I’m asking is because a friend recently received a windfall of money and had decided to bring the family to a vacation in Canada. She was looking for Toronto hotels when someone came along and very untactfully scared her with all kinds of eerie hotel ghost stories.

Someone’s going on a vacation to have fun and we really shouldn’t be instilling that kind of unwanted worry or fear in them right? Sometimes I wonder if it’s done out of kindness or envy!

In any case, I’m not one who believe much in those stories so come what may, if I’m going there, I’ll think nothing about it and just enjoy myself. That’s what I told my friend to do instead of wondering if the hotels she’s shortlisting would be good ones since she is eyeing more of the motel type rather than city hotel rooms.

Whatever it is, remember never to scare your friends with such stories just when they’re excitedly sharing with you about their vacation plans. Be happy for them and have good things to say.

Is one trip a year good enough for you?

Many people have dreams to travel the world. Most of the time we can’t really do a lot of traveling because of money constraint. So is it enough for those who love to travel to go see one new place a year?

For me personally I find that it may be enough. Because the places I really want to go to are far away and expensive to visit, it does take quite a while to save up for it. And I think it’s only manageable for me to do a single trip a year so that I can get quality out of each vacation I go for.

What about you? Are you able to find ways to do more than just one vacation a year? If you have a great way to share in how to make extra money or a clever saving method that can earn you more trips a year, do share!

I want to make a trip to panama city florida one day, and I hope it won’t be long to wait up for it…

Do you buy medical insurance when you travel?

For me, it depends on how long my trip is, where it is to and also during the season I’m traveling. I used to work with a company that bought all year round of medical travel insurance plans for everyone because it was more worth while since we had to travel all the time. But for my personal travels, I will pick and choose because these kinds of medical plans aren’t cheap to begin with.

But is this a necessity when traveling? In this time and age, I think it is. It’s better to be safe than sorry and to spend a little more on some assurance and comfort level than to fork out medical expenses in a foreign land.

The reason for this post is because it’s the hloliday and travel season seeing that it’s year end. So I hope you will consider such a purchase when you’re packing your bags for that great year end holiday coming up
