Your Vacation Planning Guide

On this lens you will find alternatives to your normal way of planning vacations. 

To most of us, one of the most important aspects of traveling is getting the most for our money, right?  Well, I want to share with you how I know I am going to get the best value for my dollar when I vacation. 

The fall of the dollar against currencies such as the British pound and the Euro has disrupted the plans of many who were planning on vacationing in Europe.  But, even though we can't do anything about the $8 coke, we can still save quite a bit of money on your accommodations.  There are many beautiful places to stay in England, France and all over Europe for no more than $699.  Most of these are 1 bedroom, not just a hotel room or studio, even though, these are also available.  To check out how we can help you plan your vacation, go to Global Resorts Network, wait for the movie to load and then click Play Movie in the lower left corner.

And if cruises are more your style, this travel club can get you some of the best prices for great cruises.  Global Resorts Network allows you to obtain a membership at a premier travel club that has provided excellent service to its members for over 20 years.

Want to Live Like the Rich and Famous 

You Can with Global Resorts Network, Saving Hundreds or Thousands on Your Accommodations

Live like the rich and famous and stay in one of Mazatlan's finest resorts. this week it happens to be one of our hot week specials. This incredible 2 bedroom resort property could be yours if you are a member for only $298 for the entire week/family.
For a SMALLER size unit for the exact same week, here's what you'll pay elsewhere....First off, all two bedrooms were unavailable to them, so we are comparing them to a one bedroom unit.

Hotels.com
$1,759.03
Travelocity
$1,598.45
Expedia
$1,759.03
Orbitz
$1,549.94

So, if you had a membership, you would have saved a MINIMUM of $1,200 from just ONE week. But, keep in mind, we were comparing a one bedroom to a 2 bedroom unit, so that means your savings would be significantly more than $1,200

Even though the membership is now selling online for thousands less than it has been sold for the last 20 years, it comes with a built in business. Yes, if you buy your membership to save money and have access to over 5,000 properties worldwide, you can also be an affiliate and make up to $1,000 per sale.

I, personally, have a deal for you in addition to the really great benefits you receive from GRN. Here is the deal, join, and when you take your first vacation, I will pay for one week of the hot week specials and all I need from you are pictures and testimonials when you get home.

Don't take your vacation this year without the travel club membership you can obtain with Global Resorts Network .

Packing For Travel 

Packing

When you are planning a trip, the most challenging part might not be what sights to see first or which restaurant has the best deal on dinner. For men, women and children, the frustrating part might happen even before you leave home for the airport. Trying to pack a week's worth of outfits into one suitcase can be virtually impossible. That's why travel clothing is so appealing and becoming more and more popular. Packing is one of the most important parts of you trip.

Lost Luggage

We've all heard the horror stories about how much luggage goes missing each year. If you happen to be the victim of disappearing baggage you know exactly what it feels like. Not only does it ruin your entire vacation if the bag goes astray on the way to your destination, but if you lose it on the way back, all the souvenirs you collected may be just a distant memory. Packing light so you can carry-on your belongings removes all fear that they'll be misplaced. With travel clothing you can pack everything you need in just one small bag.

What To Pack

Choosing a color scheme for the outfits you plan on wearing is really the key to packing light. This can be a challenge for women but if you give it some effort, you'll find that you can pack fewer things and still enjoy just as many outfits. For example a pair of jeans can be worn both during the day and in the evening. With a white t-shirt they'll keep you stylish and cool all day, when paired with a glittery black top you can go clubbing all night. The key to packing travel clothing is choosing things that can be worn more than once in different ways.

More Packing Tips 

Wrinkle Resistant

Another thing to consider is bringing fewer items and washing them while you are away. Some fabrics just don't wash well. They need to be pressed after washing and drying and they'll wrinkle even when in the suitcase. Leave these at home and instead opt for travel clothing that is wrinkle-resistant. Imagine placing a few shirts and skirts in a suitcase only to find them looking great once you arrive at your travel destination.

Temperature

Also bear in mind when you are packing what the temperature is like at your final destination. If it's warm, you are only going to need one pair of long pants along with one sweater for the evening breeze. If you wear these on the airplane, you'll be affording yourself much more room within the bag. Layering while flying is also a great idea, as sometimes the travel clothing we wear during the trip leaves us either too hot or too cold while in flight. If you have on a t-shirt and a sweater you can easily remove the latter if you get too warm or put it back on if you feel chilly.

Planning
Smart planning is really all it takes. By mixing and matching and choosing easy to care for fabrics, your suitcase will be lighter and you'll worry much less about what to wear while you are away.
