It’s possible that dealer/manufacturer financing will cost you more, but it isn’t always the case.

10 Budget Air Travel Tips
Traveling by air has many advantages, particularly when you go a long distance. Air travel is quick. You arrive at your destination without spending days getting there.

Travel Tips – Getting The Most Out Of Your Restricted Space
May 16th
The number-one rule in packing for a trip is to pack lightly because we often forget how frequently we’ll have to lift or carry our luggage during our travels. Consider how, you’ll be dragging your luggage into the trunk of your car and out again, through the airport, off of the luggage carousel, through another airport, back into the trunk of your rental car and out again until finally you get to the hotel where hopefully they’ll have a porter.
On top of having to lug your bags around, your airline will have strict rules on the size, weight and the More >

CONSEQUENTIAL TRAVEL TIPS # 1 WRITTEN BY DONNA TOUCHETTE / DMT Travel
EXTRA LUGGAGE– It may be possible to purchase the right to check a third bag, at a cost of something like $125. In high capacity travel times however, it may no longer be possible to elect this option, at any price. Again, don’t be stymied at the gate. Check with your airline in advance.

Don’t let your holiday end in wireless disaster
With four long weekends before the end of the year, travel plans are on the horizon for many of us.

While offering convenience and flexibility, Wi-Fi networks are unfortunately also easy entry points for hackers looking to steal your money, account information and identity.

May 16th
Travel tips for the over 65´s should not differ much from travel tips for everyone else, but there are some points worth remembering before you hop on a train, plane or bus to make your travel experience more enjoyable:

Budget airlines don´t normally include free food onboard, so if you think you may be peckish, eat before you travel or buy a takeaway sandwich from the airport to eat later. You can buy food onboard, but you will pay an arm and a leg for it.
