Not only because of price though: I also just hate aimlessly wandering around when I'm hungry! <br /><br />My boyfriend and I were in Brussels a couple of weeks ago, and he had picked out a restaurant for us. That we had to walk to. Sixteen hundred miles (or that's what it felt like). When we got there - it was located in the middle of a residential zone - it was closed. <br /><br />We were so tired by that point we joked about just eating our leftover cereal for dinner. So we walked home. And luckily came across a deli-type store where we bought some really good pasta and salads. Not only do we know have a good story, we also saved a lot of money..Saskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01755939813142593233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-42791233240325293562010-09-15T21:47:09.525-07:002010-09-15T21:47:09.525-07:00Not only does Southwest not charge for bags, they ...Not only does Southwest not charge for bags, they don't charge you for peanuts, either (American Airlines does...what a joke)!Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216099284405005110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-66042552272987775072010-09-15T10:42:54.688-07:002010-09-15T10:42:54.688-07:00You also forgot to mention that Southwest doesn...You also forgot to mention that Southwest doesn't charge for bags. Yay! There's at least $40 a person saved if you're traveling long enough to need to check bags.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581699201036948204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-52213030832045178162010-09-15T07:46:57.550-07:002010-09-15T07:46:57.550-07:00Oh how I love this post.

I once canceled a Southwest flight 3 HOURS before takeoff because a Rapid Rewards one became available. Also, nothing is worse than going to a random restaurant in a city, spending lots of money, and realizing that the food is not really very good. It's so much better to find somewhere you really want to try.<br /><br />Along the lines of staying with friends, couch surfing is also amazing. We decided to do a big hurrah before-returning-to-school-and-starting-a-job-and-before-babies trip last summer. We traveled to 3 continents over 2 months, and stayed in a hotel for two of those nights. Lots were spent with wonderful family and friends, which made the trip that much more memorable. The others were spent couch surfing. It was GREAT, and we would recommend it even if it weren't free. It was so much fun to get to know locals, hear their stories and recommendations, and feel immersed in the cultures of the countries we visited.Preethihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079356026839768113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-77669160944911888002010-09-15T07:45:51.449-07:002010-09-15T07:45:51.449-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Preethihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079356026839768113noreply@blogger.com
