			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m going to Disney!</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-141" style="margin: 10px;" title="Disney" src="http://placesandtravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Disney.jpg" alt="Disney" width="293" height="293" />How many times have you heard your favorite celebrity or sports entertainers shout that as a joke or seriousness? And, how many times have you wished that you could afford to go to Disney?</p>
<p>Well, now with the travel industry and the economy hurting in a very bad way, it may be a lot more affordable than you think. There are ways to find Cheap Disney vacations without compromising on a lot of necessities and luxuries.</p>
<p>First thing to figure out to make a cheap Disney vacation happen, is to determine what the most expensive parts of the vacation.  Then it&#8217;s a matter of figuring out how to lower those costs.</p>
<p>Unless you live right down the road, transportation to and from Disney can be quite costly. If there&#8217;s any way to drive yourself and your family there, that is probably the most cost effective way to get there. Some people have found that renting a mini-van or a most fuel efficient car is the best way to get themselves to and from their destination.</p>
<p>If gas prices are down, as they currently are, it is definitely an option. Of course, if gas prices are up, chances are, the costs of your flight will be up as well, so you have to weigh all of your options.</p>

If flying is the only option for getting to your Disney destination, shop around for the best rates! Don&#8217;t simply settle for the very first price that you see.</p>
<p>Airfares may not be negotiable but it isn&#8217;t set in stone. Sometimes, different days of the week or even times of the day can affect the ticket prices. Check online several times each day to see if the rates start to change. The next highest expense that will factor into your cheap Disney vacation is the hotel or overnight accommodations.</p>
<p>Sure, you can find some great deals for several nights free if you stay at a Disney resort. And for some, those prices are not too costly. For others, it may be more economical to check some other local resorts and hotels for less expensive options.</p>
<p>You can make it a cheap Disney vacation if you&#8217;re willing to stay outside of the resort. You may actually find that you can get several nights at a nearby hotel for the price of one night within the resort. And as always, shop around.</p>
<p>Do your homework and check those rates. Make sure that you are doing everything that you can to ensure that your cheap Disney vacation is affordable and fun!</p>
<p>Of course, can&#8217;t go on your cheap Disney vacation unless you&#8217;re planning on spending some time at the theme parks! Those admission tickets are not cheap. And you can&#8217;t walk up to the ticket booths and bargain with them.</p>
<p>But, you may be able to find discount tickets ahead of time online or even through your hotel. If there&#8217;s any way to save even a few dollars on those tickets, make it happen.</p>
<p>Every dollar helps. With taking some time to do your homework and plan your time away accordingly, you will find that a cheap Disney vacation is not only possible, but the best thing that could happen to your family.</p>
<p>If you plan it well, and your plans come to fruition, a cheap Disney vacation could well best holiday of a lifetime.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ski Vacation Packages With a Difference</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-77" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Skiing" src="http://placesandtravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Skiing.jpg" alt="Skiing" width="357" height="536" />Skiing isn&#8217;t something you can do all year around, so it&#8217;s best that you take advantage of the opportunity while the snow covered slopes remain intact. Sure, with today&#8217;s modern technological advances it&#8217;s possible to go skiing indoors, but any recreational or seasoned skier will tell you that pumped out artificial snow just doesn&#8217;t compare to the real thing. Good old fashioned real snow is powdery and easy to slide through, while sometimes your skis get caught in imitation snow because occasionally it manifests with an unpleasantly hard and chunky texture. Plus, outdoors scenery is a huge part of the skiing experience, and with indoor skiing you&#8217;re confined within a simulated environment, and when you look up and around you&#8217;ll see constructed ceiling and walls instead of spacious sky and majestic mountains in the distance. Even if you don&#8217;t have to worry about it being the wrong time of year, indoor skiing has its limitations, literally, and the fact that you can&#8217;t go outdoor skiing outside of the winter season makes it a special experience.</p>
<p>If you decide to treat yourself and spring for the genuine thing, timing and expenses are a concern, but fortunately there are many ski vacation packages available to help you out. You can browse through a huge selection of ski vacation packages at www.ski.com, where you can filter results and customize your ski trip by date, location, resort, how many people going, lodging, flight and car rental. You&#8217;ll also find some great deals and exclusive offers that provide you with significant savings, like discounts on lodging and even nights that you can stay for free. Planning a ski vacation is made simple through a comprehensive look at the best resorts, testimonials, videos, and the opportunity to speak with agents. 3D maps are also available so that you can check out the location and terrain of different areas, even for international ski vacation packages. You can explore virtually every aspect of the ski vacation experience before you actually go on the trip, and by the time you do you&#8217;ll know completely what to expect. This guarantees a great ski vacation that you&#8217;ll never forget.</p>
<p>The best thing is that browsing ski vacation packages at www.ski.com is absolutely free. It sounds too good to be true, but all of this useful insider info is provided to you at no charge. So if you decide to plan a ski trip this winter, head on over to their website and take advantage of some early booking savings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A Trip Down Under For an Australian Holiday</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-55" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Northern Territory Australia" src="http://placesandtravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Northern-Territory-Australia.jpg" alt="Northern Territory Australia" width="473" height="287" />I hope to visit Australia this winter, and I hope that it will not be the last time. I would like to think that I will take many holidays in Australia in my life time, but I know that this might not be something that I can do very often. However, I will go when I can as I have friends there, and it wouldn&#8217;t be right if I didn&#8217;t get to spend some time with them every few years. Besides, I think there is a lot my daughter can learn when we visit there, and I hope to take her with me when I go.</p>
<p>The best thing about holidays in Australia is that you can go when the weather in the US is bad, and it will be the middle of summer there. Not only that, but there are many great beaches there, and everyone is so wonderfully nice. Though I am sure there are exceptions, it would seem that a majority of those who live in Australia are easy going and fun to be around. Though you can&#8217;t always take long vacations, I want to make my holidays in Australia long because I won&#8217;t get to go very often.</p>
<p>Another great thing about holidays in Australia is that they are very much like the US in culture, but at the same time, things are just different enough to make it an amazing experience. They have beauty everywhere you turn around, and there are many awesome things that everyone should have a chance to see in their life time. I know there are those who have dreamed of going to a European country for as long as they can remember, but for me, I have always wanted to take holidays in Australia.</p>
<p>There is one downfall though. When you take holidays in Australia, you do have to be on a plane for a very long time. It takes about fourteen hours to fly to Sydney from the west coast, and I have to take a six hour flight just to get to the west coast of the US to get on a plane to Australia. I&#8217;m not really worried about myself, but I am concerned about my daughter, who will be six when we go. However, it will be worth it, and I suspect that the light might be the longest I have ever taken, or will ever take, but for great holidays in Australia, it will all be worth it.</p>
