It’s been such a busy weekend. We are heading for Phuket tomorrow and I’m still trying to clear up some last minute stuff before our vacation! If you are planning to travel and need some ideas including getting discount accomodation, here are some simple things to keep in mind.

Timing is everything. Avoid busiest times of the year: holidays, spring and summer vacations, and large vacations.

If you can, before you decide on a hotel, ask about pricing on “extras”: extra beds, cribs, rollaways and extra occupants and about any extra charges for local phone calls, cable TV, and Internet connections.

Compare all factors before making your final decision.

Ask your hotel for free funbooks, which often include two for one dinners and shows and discounted drinks.

Ask for everyone about discounts, special offers, freebies, comps. These are available at most Las Vegas hotels and casinos, but you need to ask for them.

Ok for now, I’ve got to continue my packing and hubby is reminding me to pack his best weight loss pills in the luggage. I guess he’s worried about overeating in Phuket!
