One of the things I have enjoyed about my adult children is their interest in seeing the world and meeting its people. Certainly, their travels have only just begun… but the three of them have been covering the continents and now their explorations have taken more personal interests.
One of the things I have enjoyed is helping them find great travel deals. Deals that don’t involve sleeping in a luggage compartment or stowing away on a coffee boat. Why pay $4500 to travel to Beijing from Tennessee when you can pay $1000 on Cathay Pacific or for the same price go from Los Angeles to Australia on Qantas? Obviously, rates change and there is a big asterisk as to when you have to take these trips… but it is worth it!
British Airways has remarkable deals to England right now from almost anywhere in the United States — and once there — it is a great jumping off place to the rest of the world!
So the dollar may be soft… but the great airline fares more than make up for it! So, tell me… what’s holding you back?
