Cheap Stingy
Bastards
How to Make the Most of a Thin Wallet While
Traveling the World
"Are you someone
who will do just about anything to get something
free? Are you embarrassed to travel with your
dad because he won't accept the first three
rooms that a hotel offers? What do you do when
there's a small curly hair in your salad? If you
get your lunch from pilfering room service
remains, step right up. This will be an advice
book for how, where, and when you can travel on
the cheap--how to turn every last dollar, euro,
peso, ruble, rupee, shekel and baht into more
days on the road. Each chapter will be peppered
with the first hand quotes from tightwads with a
story to tell and wisdom to impart."
"I'm collecting
small quotes and anecdotes (from 75 to 250
words) about the obnoxious, strange, and
creative things you've done while trying to
stretch your travel budget. They don't have to
be successful--stories of abject failure can be
instructive too. General themes will include
shelter, transportation, food, traveling with
other cheapskates, finding ridiculously cheap
gifts that make you look generous, travel gear,
what to wear, romance for tightwads on the road.
But don't let that limit you. While I will be
writing practical advice, I want the zaniest
stuff to come from you."
"In the spirit of
thrift, the authors of any quotes that get used
in the book will receive no money whatsoever but
WILL get, besides being published, a free copy
of Cheap Stingy Bastards AND 50% off all
Travelers' Tales titles for life. The first 25
submissions will also receive a free copy of the
Penny Pincher's Passport to Luxury Travel by
Joel L. Widzer.To turn in your submission,
please email your name, address, and phone
number to
jen at jenleo dot com"

In our
humble opinion, Priceline is the best way
to get really great hotel deals.
Better than Orbitz. Better than
Hotwire. I have
personally stayed in Atlanta at a
Homestead Suites Hotel for $33 including
taxes and fees... using Priceline. (I bid
$29). The advertised rate was
$79.00! I've also stayed for 4
nights in Orlando at Homestead Suites for
$129. including all fees and taxes. So as far as I am concerned, Priceline is the ONLY way to book a
hotel... even if you have to stop at an
Internet Cafe to do it! You can
actually book up til 6 p.m. the same day.
I take my cue for the bid from Priceline's
advertised "bargain rates". It's
possible that you could get it for less.
See the article below for some ideas on
how to do that.
Here's
an article that takes bidding on Priceline
to a new level:
"Wing
it around Europe for less! The
Inter-European AirTaxi ticket lets you
country-hop all over Europe for just
$99 per flight. These "open" passes
let you fly one-way, non-stop to
cities all over Europe, starting or
ending anywhere you want. The
Inter-European AirTaxi makes it easy -
no blackout dates, no fare zones,
advance reservations or reservations
on the go, valid for 120 days, no
minimum purchase and reservation
changes are allowed. The best way to
see more of Europe by air- the
Inter-Europe AirTaxi!"

What's The Deal With Those "Free" or
Deeply Discounted Vacations in Exchange
for Attending a Timeshare Pitch?
Typically
you need a household income of $45,000
or $50,000 and a major credit card (not
a debit card). You can't be traveling in
a camper or RV...and you have to sit
through a 90minute presentation. Often
includes a free breakfast. In
exchange you get a deeply discounted
motel room that sleeps up to 4 and two
free attraction tickets. Check
individual listings for exact terms.
Here
are some examples. Remember, you
are under no obligation to buy a
timeshare. Do not rush into ...or
let yourself be pressured into...
signing any paperwork during the
presentation... or your discounted
vacation could wind up costing a lot
more than you counted on.
HotelsCorp.com Cheap... and
super-cheap motel accommodations and
Disney ticket packages. Lowest
prices involve sitting through a
time-share prez.
Beware of Those
"Free" Cruises and "Free" Air Fares
Often
they are anything but free... requiring
that you stay at an expensive hotel in
exchange for a "free" airfare... or have
all sorts of "taxes" which are actually
fees paid to the tour company.

nothing else like the Green Tortoise -
PERIOD. Our busses are beautiful, with names

character.
"Our
passengers are happy. They don't sit up all
night with their heads against the window,
but sleep lying down on fitted sheets over
mattresses on raised platforms and bunk
beds, listening to beautiful music as they
doze off. In the morning they've usually
arrived somewhere incredible! By day we
swim, cook breakfast, explore caves, climb
mountains, raft downstream, stand under
waterfalls, walk through forests, cook
dinner, build campfires, visit towns, meet
people, or just plain take it easy.
"You're
welcome to join the adventure, friends and
fun. The settings will be national parks and
