Free Vacations: Fact or Fiction
By Bests | May 27, 2008
This article talks about free
vacations. It discusses what to watch out for, and how it is actually possible
to get free accommodations as apposed to a free vacation.
Is there such thing
as a free vacation? Of course not! However, did you know that there is such a
thing as free accommodation?
You receive a call
from a “travel agency? and they are currently offering a free vacation package
or they say you won free plane tickets to an exotic location. You hear about
this all the time and usually you also find out after the fact that it was all
some sort of travel or vacation scam.
The economy is bad
and you are already hesitant to go away on vacation, yet you know the hazards
of not taking that much needed time off. So you book your trip, you pay your
deposit, you hop on a flight, and your nightmare begins! Do not let this happen
to you!
You hear about them,
you some times even unknowingly provide them with the information that they
need to contact you. You fill out a form, enter a draw, buy some sort of
lottery ticket, or just fill out a questionnaire and suddenly there they are on
the other end of the line trying to relieve you of your hard earned money.
Don’t be fooled nothing is free, but there are ways of saving a significant
amount of money on your family vacations.
Did you know that
many countries offer free lodging to travelers? Some cultures do that because
of religious and charitable ideals while others do it because they believe that
they can benefit from knowing you and your culture. One of the most common
places to get free accommodation is through Monasteries in countries like Italy, France and Spain.
Several monastic
orders define hospitality/charity as one of their vows and they are only too
happy to accommodate us for a night or two. Remember, these monasteries are
usually in the rural areas and you may still need to give them a token gift but
it’s a wonderful lesson for our family to see how people can live with so
little “stuff? and still be contented in life. This stay may save your family
millions later in life because of the lessons learned in frugality.
Always remember to use their resources sparingly and
leave the rooms as clean as they were before your family used it and remember
to give them an offering, whether it’s a few dollars or an item of clothing , or
perhaps a blanket or afghan.
