Our dreams decide our destiny. And so whether it’s our destiny or our destination, who should decide? We or someone else? I have always believed it’s going to be me. And only me.
We love to travel often and experience the new. In this beautiful world.
Many of my friends ask me. How do you plan your holidays? I smile & tell them, it’s easy. It only requires our will and some time. Why waste our hard earned money on travel companies, taking us for a ride. When the ride is ours, we should decide.
And so today I share the first of my simple planning tips in this New Year.
The first thing that I do is to book the hotels. Which I suggest, you should too. Because when you book early, you get wider choices and probably the best rates. But be sure to go for the “Pay later at Hotel” option. That has two advantages. First, if due to any unforeseen circumstances you have to cancel or postpone your trip, you do not lose any money. Second, if the rates come down by any chance or you come across a better property, you can cancel and book again. Either way it’s your gain.
We have been able to visit just 14 odd countries in the last three years. Not too much and there is still a long way to go for us. But when it comes to hotels, my trusted partner all through has been Booking.com
And so as I sign off and start planning for our May-June summer holidays this year, they are going to be there with us again. To give us the best options, the most cost effective solutions and in effect, the most pleasurable holidays.
And when you start planning your holidays, try your hotel bookings on Booking.com through your favorite travel blog for the best deals and offers and you are going to surely thank me for it. Also, you could check out the reviews of mine on TripAdvisor, in over 50 cities in India and abroad, for hotels, places of interest and activities which over 70,000 readers from all across the world have benefited from. Do get back if you need any help. I am learning everyday, but can still help in making your holidays very special.
Plan your dream destinations and your stay with help that does not cost you anything. Booking.com booking option is now available on your favorite travel blog,“Travels with passion”. Would be back soon with some more useful travel tips. Till then, keep enjoying and having fun. Wish you happiness and only happiness in this new year. And the best of holidays, to keep our balance in life.
Planning ahead certainly makes trips better!
Informative Article: such a nice article with beautiful pictures keep posting.
Thank you Lalit.
That bookings website sounds amazing. Planning ahead is key cause it reduces the number of things you can forget, -5 least for me
Information article !
Yes it is Funke.And once you make a few bookings they make you a Genius member with added benefits like early check-in & late check-out with selected hotels.
Great post. I have never used a travel agency and I never will. They have to make money, which means I get charged more. I can do it all myself.
You are like me Ben.Cheers👍
Thank you for reminding us that our dreams indeed are our destiny. I will now conscientiously dream of living near the beach 🙂
Yes Cara we must continue to dream.Dreams I believe turn real.
Planning ahead and as early as possible is a great way to get the most bang for your buck. I will be doing 4 countries this summer, but I’ve already started booking our activities now so I can get the best prices available.
Same here Theresa.Just got my visa for my travel this summer & planning started in January.
The color s of the water look amazing! :0)
I agree with you 100%. There are so many apps and websites that are good resources to get deals on airfare and accommodation. As long as we are resourceful enough. traveling should not be that costly.
Seriously day dreaming of that place wow
I like your idea of paying later at the hotel; I’d never thought of that!
