It is pretty obvious that when you are rich, you are not only looking for the very best in the way of hotel rooms, but you also want the very best when you are flying as well. Well – I am telling you that flying can be luxurious and there are many ways that you might be able to afford it.
One of the first things that you need to think about, especially if you are flying overseas about how comfortable you want to be; comfort in a plane is almost a joke. You have people all around you and most likely you are going to get stuck on a plane with a screaming kid … that is why a private jet is the best way to go.
This picture is just one example of how a private jet can look and honestly, it is by far the most comfortable way to fly. More in the next blog!

The internet has made it easier than ever to book tickets. There are several big name sites out there that can seriously help you find the best travel deals — and that is a good thing, because where any type of travel is concerned, you have got to shop around. This is especially true of holiday travel. Comparison shop at as many places as you can, and you increase your chances of getting a good deal.
Believe it or not, knowing the airports in the areas you will be departing and arriving can help save money as well. Say you live in upstate or central New York: it might be cheaper to fly out of Syracuse than Albany, Rochester, or Buffalo. You might have to travel a little farther, but money saved and the availability of fares could be well worth the extra effort.

Now, while this might be difficult with the holiday season coming up, you need to try to avoid traveling during peak dates. For instance, Christmas this year falls on a Friday. Traveling on that day itself can be a lot cheaper than traveling on Christmas Eve.
If that simply cannot be done, then just try to book your flight — or train reservations — as early as you can. The closer you get to any given holiday, the more expensive the fares are going to be, naturally — both to and from your destination. Locking your tickets in early is the only way to ensure a good deal.
At this date, it may still be early enough to get a good deal for late December — if you are very, very lucky — no matter which holiday you will be celebrating.

The good news is that there are some tips that can make things easier, and we are going to discuss them in this series of posts. Stay tuned if you want to make traveling during the holidays easier than it’s ever been!

All right, my horror loving friends and Halloween fanatic neighbors, I have most definitely saved the best for last. Salem, Massachusetts. Other towns may claim to be Halloween capitals, but I truly believe that Salem takes the cake.
For one thing, their Halloween inspired activities take place from October 2 to November 2, so you have a full month to enjoy this town, which is still quite haunted by the trials and events of the sixteen hundreds. The Haunted Happenings Festival manages to be both educational, scary, and incredibly fun — not to mention eerie!
There are psychic readings, parades, picking pumpkins, spooky stories, reenactments of the famed rich trials, and much, much more, such as the many museums and showcases in the town.

Now that we have talked about a United States Christmas vacation destination, let’s go ahead and touch base on Rovaniemi, Finland. This particular vacation for Christmas is something that is awesome. Rovaniemi, Finland is actually a quaint little village that celebrates Christmas a whole lot.

While you might want to go to get away and spend some time by yourself, you do not have to take off to the beach. There are actually quite a few Christmasy places that we are going to talk about!
Firstly, Pikes Peak, Colorado is a fantastic place to go if you are looking for a Christmas vacation destination. They don’t have snow but they actually have a Christmas theme park at the base of Pikes Peak that offers up a ton of fun for you or your family!

So where in the world do you go to enjoy one of the most exciting Halloween activities ever? New York City, of course, where else would you go?
Specifically, the Village Halloween Parade, which takes place on the big day itself, is a huge, exciting draw. The parade itself has more than fifty thousand people participating in it, and more than two million people watching it — needless to say, these stats make the Village Halloween Parade the biggest spooky celebration in the whole entire world.
If you want to get a good spot to see everything, you need to turn up at last two hours early, at which point you will have a bird’s eye view of puppeteers, marching bands, floats, circus acts, dancers, and scads of other performers.

The Earp Brothers. Doc Holiday. Showdowns and gunfights. Who doesn’t want to take a trip to Tombstone, Arizona? Legends were made there! Naturally you can visit Tombstone the whole year round, but going in October is highly recommended. Why?
Because it is like living in a costume party during that time of year, one which just happens to be totally historically accurate! Visit the local museums, marvel over the nineteenth century buildings which have been fully restored … and try to guess just which buildings are haunted!
For instance, taking a trip to Big Nose Kate’s Saloon or stopping into the famed Birdcage Theater greatly increases your chances of running across otherworldly presences.
But hey, even if you don’t get an encounter with a ghost, the Wild West reenactments going on every day will make you feel like you’re still in the Wild West!
