Air Travel and prices

Seems to me that every site out there claims to offer the best search engines for finding the best prices. Kayak at least quotes in Canadian and includes taxes. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to figure out what the bottom line really is when it comes to cost.

Interestingly enough, when a couple of my family recently visited my son in the Dominican Republic he found it was just as cheap and efficient to buy an all inclusive package and utilize the flights. He just met them at the airport, informed the resort they were with him and off they went to enjoy their time together. The regular airline was all booked up and only had business class left which would have made the trip totally unaffordable. So if you find you are having difficulty locating flights... give a look at the last minute packages. Could be you can find what you are looking for cheaper than if you got a regular flight alone!

Figuring this out....

Please be patient as I figure out how to manage this site.  The directions are all Greek to me so I am struggling.  I want to add information that would be helpful to you, if you like me, are trying to make the Snowbird lifestyle happen.  I am not a quick study so it is taking awhile to find out how to do all of this.  I added Bill Cosby just because I love his sense of humour and find I need to prompt a smile from myself sometimes.  His humour always does that for me.  I hope you enjoy him to.  

I also added adsense which puts advertising from Google on the site.  I am monitoring what they put on to see how it works.  It does have a pay for click feature so if some income happened to be generated from this ... well that would just be a bonus  for me

I also connected to some forums here and there that might be helpful to you if you are wanting to know more from people who are living in the countries we are headed to explore.  I will try to add these to my site as well.  Here is one that I follow as people living in Ecuador are on it: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ecuador_expats/

You have to go through Yahoo to access it.

The weather here in Alberta continues to be cool without much rain.  I am covering bedding plants every night as we have had frost warnings and frost occasionally this past week.  I am far from thrilled with these temperatures.  Makes me think of moving south permanently because we seem to have so little summer weather here.  If we can just get Snowbirding that will be a start.  :-)  I will keep on learning what I can and share my findings with you.  Stay tuned.
