Home for the Holidays
In this mobile world we live in, odds are you don't live in the same community where you grew up, though your family may still reside there. Work or school or something else may have taken you away from your hometown and you also may have a family of your own
now. If you're thinking about going home for the holidays, it's wise to plan ahead.
Making travel plans is never fun especially if it involves the whole family. It can be both confusing and frustrating. There is so much to do and you have to make sure that you are making the right decisions for you and your family, and that you are getting the best value for your dollar. If you
have a long distance to travel try to make advanced reservations, for both convenience as well as for saving money. If you make chain reservations, you can take advantage of discounts from both the airlines and hotels. Also, if you make your arrangements online, you may receive additional
discounts. If you are traveling by automobile, you might think about renting a car as it will save you wear and tear on your own vehicle.

Five Money-Saving Travel Tips for Small Businesses
(NewsUSA) - Saving money is a priority for any business,
especially a small business.
Small businesses often need every break and discount they can
get, and traveling can be one of the most costly areas for small businesses. Unfortunately, many of
the best travel advantages only go to big businesses.
To help your business compete, here
are a few tips to make your traveling expenses a little more palatable.
* Search for cheap
airfares. Internet search engines provide a great resource for cheap fares. Be sure to get on these
sites' e-mail lists so you stay abreast of specials.
* Avoid alcohol. Drinking alcohol at
meals can boost your bill. Stay away from adult beverages and you will be much happier when the
check arrives.
* Stay in and watch a movie. By simply staying in your room at night and not
going to bars or nightclubs, you can save yourself a lot of cash.
* Use free time for free
attractions. Instead of heading to the golf course, go to a museum. Free attractions can be
enlightening and easy on the wallet.
* Look for a deal on your rental car. You may want to
join a discount program for car rental.

traditionally only been offered to large businesses. But now, Thrifty's SmartBiz program is
