Planes, Trains, and Cruise Ships

Saving Money With Awesome Adventures

When I was living in California, I so wanted to visit my brother in Hawaii.  I didn't want to just visit on Oahu however, I wanted to visit as many of the Hawaiian islands as possible.  Hawaii is not cheap, so I did some research on how to get to all the sights on my list.  Flights between the islands are in the range of $100, not a bad deal for a flight.  Hotels though can be exceedingly expensive.  
Enjoying the view at Haleakala National Park.

Plane to Train Transfer in Seattle

An Easy to Visit West Coast City

Everyone once in a while a travel unicorn will appear.  By unicorn I mean a very rare a magical opportunity where I can extend a trip and save money.  My trip to Seattle was a travel unicorn.  I needed to get to Vancouver to board a cruise to Hawaii with my boyfriend.  However, after playing around with airfare I discovered I could leave a day earlier, fly into Seattle and then the next day take a train to Vancouver.  Our flights to Seattle, train tickets, and hotel in Seattle were all cheaper than just flying into Vancouver.  So we flew to Seattle and added a day to our trip.
