Orbitz Coupon Codes - Find 60% Off Sandals Resort Vacations

By Isreal Lawrence on Sep 25th, 2009

Though I’m currently living in Los Angeles, the land without seasons, it wasn’t so long ago that I was in Chicago, the land of the neverending winter. I was just thinking yesterday, “well it wont be very long before the chill really starts settling in up there…for the next six months.” The feeling that settles in during winter (in locales where winter is serious business) really is something else. Everyone gets a slightly harder edge when they aren’t leaving the house unless they absolutely have to and it starts getting dark at about 4:30 in the afternoon. I’m thinking there is only one real cure for winter’s discontent: hitting the beach.

“What is that insane babble you are spewing forth Isreal”? Ha! Well let me explain gentle reader. Why not move your typical summer vacation to wintertime, and as the birds do, head south? South where it’s still warm. A beach resort during the winter when it’s significantly less crowded and the rates are not only down, but the resorts are offering significant price breaks to entice guests? I have some very nice Orbitz coupons that will save all of you up to 60% off on a stay at a delightful Sandals resort if you book by October 30.

Look into my magic mirror and imagine where you could be this winter, instead of digging your car out of three feet of snow when you are already late for work…

Flashpacking: The Art of Rolling Large on the Cheap

By Isreal Lawrence on Jul 28th, 2009

300_flashpacker.jpgSummer travels, a good chunk of my friends are gearing up for, just returning from, or in the middle of their own. I’m looking upon them with a bit of jealousy. I would like to go somewhere, but I can’t…this being “new baby summer”. Ah well, I do believe I have the more exciting adventure on my plate.

While observing everyone running hither and yon the past several weeks I’ve noticed that people seem really into roadtripping and bare bones travel this year. It seems to be a fairly prevalent phenomenon. Prevalent enough to acquire it’s own marketing term. “Flashpacking”. Traveling with more flash than cash. This little buzzword is on the lips of all the travel writers this summer.

The first question on many travelers’ lips may well be: What is flashpacking? Who are these mysterious flashpackers? Many flashpackers are actually just the growing number of ‘techno-travelers’ out there. They’ve got iPods and digital cameras. They’re traveling with their laptops. They want to blog and broadcast live video streams of their travel experiences, so they need free WiFi at their hostel.

While technology is a key element of flashpacking, though, it’s not the whole picture, by any means. A flashpacker is essentially just the usual backpacker or independent traveler, looking for something a bit more upmarket from their digs. They want all the flexibility of the independent traveler – the unfixed itinerary which allows you to think on your feet and go wherever the fancy takes you – yet they also want (just a little!) of the look and feel of a boutique hotel.

Yet they don’t want your standard budget hotel: rather, they’re after the advantages of a good, old-fashioned cheap hostel, with just a bit more, well, luxury. Even the most hardcore backpackers among us can do with a bit of luxury from time to time. It’s okay we won’t judge you for not wanting to spend a month eating bugs in the Outback. I’ll even help you out to find those nice but affordable digs…I’ve got some Orbitz coupons with your name on them right here.
