Used it for Boston and NYC. Bed and Breakfasts are also a lot cheaper than hotels and are really fun because you are still served and you are treated the "local" way so can absorb some of the culture through that. I find that in hotels your treatment is kind of standardized similar to North America.mschollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233693307522070382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-37839339748321213292012-08-07T21:25:33.474-04:002012-08-07T21:25:33.474-04:00Where did you look to find houses to rent?Where did you look to find houses to rent?Anaisabelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-77391805900658208152012-08-06T23:26:58.226-04:002012-08-06T23:26:58.226-04:00What a great sensible post!

I would second the idea of rent...Some great ideas! I would second the idea of renting an apartment. My friends and I saved a bundle doing that in Germany.<br /><br />I would add a couple of ideas:<br />1) Ask around to see where locals eat. In many cities, locals are not willing or able to pay the same prices that tourists do when eating out. In some cases, just going a few blocks away from touristy areas will get you less expensive (and often more authentic) meals.<br /><br />2) Be on the lookout for local farmers' markets and produce stands. My mom and I travelled around Finland basically eating a large breakfast at our hotel (it was always included) with local fruit, veggies, and buns as an afternoon snack: Definitely healthier than fast food! That left us only paying for one restaurant meal per day.<br /><br />3) Bring some snacks from home so that you'll have options if you get to your destination and find that you don't like your options when you arrive. I brought cereal bars and granola to Hawaii a few years ago, because I knew the resort would be expensive and I didn't want to pay for every meal, but was not sure whether there would be a grocery store nearby. This also helped when, due to jet lag, I was waking up at 4am for the first few days, well before any breakfast place was open!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09336628314435149912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-41236820282547128652012-08-06T11:29:31.873-04:002012-08-06T11:29:31.873-04:00Lots of great tips!

When you get to Halifax I promise you free accommodations! And maybe you need a minivan, but rooftop carriers also can work wonders and be cheaper to the upgrade in car and on gas. We got one this summer, that we could strap right to our car without a rooftop rack. It made for a comfortable trip with our fam and my mom and all of our stuff!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15176512463126716636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-76510400566947317902012-08-06T10:16:09.913-04:002012-08-06T10:16:09.913-04:00Never thought of renting a place, sounds way more ...Never thought of renting a place, sounds way more fun than a hotel!

Now that he's a pastor he gets to travel a bit and do lots of fun things (right now he's in Darien Lake for the week). <br /><br />One thing I got to do for free, that most people wouldn't get the chance to, is travel first class on the train from Toronto - Vancouver. It was the trip of a lifetime that I'll NEVER forget! Food was amazing, sights were amazing, and we got to meet tons of neat people from all over the world. I wish I could take Dan on that trip one day!!Brianna Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17656194705358571012noreply@blogger.com
