The Thrifty Travelers

I have always used typed itineraries or spreadsheets for trips, but for the World Cup, I have been using TripIt. It is a cool website where you can set up a free account (pay accounts have other features like real time tracking) and you can email your confirmations and they will automatically set up an itinerary. Now, you have to use major airline, car rental, hotel website confirmations, but it is very neat and saves a great deal of time trying to orgainize...

Well, after a long battle to get organized, plans are coming together to go to the World Cup in South Africa. In the next couple of weeks, I will be telling you on the preparation for the trip, costs, and the itinerary. If you are going to the World Cup, I would love to hear from you and want you to share your ideas, thoughts, and frustrations as well.

For years, my wife and I have been traveling all over the United States and outside of the country. We enjoy it immensely, but found that it is not cheap. In fact, the cost alone can deter people from making a journey that can impact their lives. We decided that this obstacle wasn't going to deter us and started looking for deals to help make our dreams of travel possible. Throughout the last few years, we were able to help our friends find some cool deals and so I decided to create a place where I can share some of the cool travel sites, secrets, and steals so that you can enjoy the world! Enjoy
