The downward economy offers some surprisingly good vacations options.  Getting the most from your pass dollars is a lot easier if you are flexible and has a couple of destinations to select from.  Doing some homework well before you plan to take a pass helps to make the money you do have for pass stretch.  Take the time now to investigate vacations you might not have thought of before.

Instructions:

 Step 1  Know what “being flexible” means to you.  Often the ideal pass deals might be on dates or to destinations that are not your first choice.  Decide if you can be comfortable with a last minute pass or booking a lesser category room to save money but still vacation.

Step 2  Use the world wide web to “visit” pass destinations in advance to see which hotels or resorts get good reviews consistently.  This will be your master list of places you would go if the price was right.

Step 3  Online travel outlets might offer a superior pass deal but if you have a particular resort in mind  it is a good intent to check out their official website for specials.  Get all details about what they have to offer, the price and any restrictions on travel in writing.

Step 4  Europe is a good pass destination deal for your money but if you  have not been you will want to research the package being offered as well as do an online search of the company offering the deal. 

Step 5  Register with as many legitimate pass sites as doable for alerts on special deals or airfare. 

Tips & Warnings:

If a pass sounds too good to be true it probably is.  Thoroughly research any package deal you are interested in.  Do not be afraid to pass on a “deal” if you feel it will not suit you.  A professional travel (vacation ) agent might also be healthy to find a good deal for you so do not rule out using their expertise.

Like Madonna, Concetta Rosemarie Franconero comes from an Italian American background. Francis started her music career at three, playing an accordion purchased for her by her contractor dad George. Her father’s dream was not for his daughter to become a star, but for Francis to become independent of men as an adult with her own accordion school of music. At age ten, she was accepted on Startime, a New York City television show that featured talented child singers and performers. The show had no one else who played an accordion. Its host, legendary television talent scout Arthur Godfrey, had difficulty pronouncing her study and recommended something “easy and Irish,” which turned into Francis.
