Worried about the drop in your 401k and the uncertain economy however still considering a holiday but concerned about the cost? Well it is possible to have a holiday in the Caribbean and save money. This article will provide you some of the ways you can reduce your Caribbean vacation cost and still have a wonderful time.

Hotels
These are the times in which it pays to shop around. The economic slowdown in the United States and Europe is causing many hotels in the Caribbean to have empty rooms and so lower rates are available. By researching the various hotels and the packages they offer you can find hidden bargains.

Another way to reduce your hotel cost is to remember that hotels that are not directly on the beachfront but within walking distance of the beach usually cost less than hotels on the beach.

What type of hotel
Ask yourself the question, how much time do I really spend in the hotel room and the hotel? If your answer is that you spend a lot of your vacation time out of the hotel room, then do you really need to stay in a large hotel? On all the Caribbean islands there are small hotels that offer much lower rates than the large hotels.

Another vacation saver is to consider self-catering hotels. Many self-catering hotels provide all the conveniences of a regular hotel room with the added benefit of a decent sized kitchen or kitchenette. By being able to prepare some of your meals (at least breakfast) you can reduce your vacation food bill. When researching self-catering hotels ask for photos of the kitchen area so that you can see if it will be adequate for your needs. Also find out if there are any supermarkets within walking distance of the hotel.

If you choose a self-catering hotel, when you visit the supermarket, buy local brands rather than simply buying the brands that you use at home. You will generally find that local brands cost less.

Eating Out
One of the pleasures of a Caribbean vacation is dining, as there are numerous restaurants on each island serving all types of cuisine. One way to save money during your Caribbean holiday is to eat where the locals eat. You will invariably find that the prices at these establishments are lower as these places cater for locals who do not have the purchasing power of tourists. Part of the benefit of a vacation is to experience the culture of the island and local cuisine is a great way to experience local culture. How to know where to eat; use the time tested method: if it is lunchtime and there are many people lining up then the food must be good and the price must be reasonable.

Alcohol
Almost every hotel in the Caribbean has a bar because relaxing with a drink is part of the holiday experience. Visiting the bar everyday however can eat into a holiday budget. One way to save money and still have your alcohol is to visit the supermarket. By purchasing your alcohol at the supermarket and having some of your drinks on your hotel balcony while watching the sunset, you can save money. When buying alcohol in the Caribbean you will find that local and regional brands of beer cost significantly less than U.S. and European brands of beer, so buy local. The same is true with the cost of rum when compared to other distilled spirits such as whiskey and vodka.

Getting Around
Most people on a Caribbean vacation want to do some sightseeing and visit the places of interest on each island. Renting a car is a great way to do your sightseeing. Many of the attractions on each island can be found once you are armed with a good road map. In addition, having a car allows you to widen the circle of places where you can choose to have dinner. In deciding to rent a car however you should think of the amount of time the car is parked in the hotel parking lot while you are relaxing on the beach in front the hotel or taking an afternoon siesta. While the car is parked and you are not using the car you are still paying the rental for the car for that entire period.

One method of having the benefit of a car and still save some money is to plan your holiday in advance by researching the sights. The Internet has made researching sightseeing attractions much easier and one of the web sites where you can learn about the places to visit on different Caribbean islands is at the Island Adventures Page of the Caribbean Outdoor Life web site. Once you have completed your research you make a list, then rent a car for only 2 or 3 days and do all the sightseeing on those days. In this way you save on the car rental. On the days that you have the car you can choose to visit restaurants that are not in walking distance of your hotel.

Another potential vacation saver can be found in the area of car rental insurance. Check if your home auto insurance or credit card will provide insurance on a rental vehicle while you are on vacation in the Caribbean, thus saving you from purchasing insurance from the car rental company.

On the other days when you do not have a car you can use local transport for getting around. All hotels either have taxis at the hotel or arrangements with taxis who will quickly come to the hotel once they receive a call from the front desk. A much cheaper alternative however is to use the local bus service. The front desk staff can usually provide you with directions and advice on using the bus service.

Tours and Attractions
Every Caribbean island has retained much of its natural vegetation and so hiking to visit waterfalls and scenic points is one of the attractions of a Caribbean holiday. All islands have at least one local hiking club and/or Field Naturalist Club that will organise hikes for its members. All of these clubs will allow non-members to participate on their organised hikes. While these clubs will charge a fee for you to participate in their hike, the fee will be much less than the fee charged by a tour guide. One point to remember however is that these hikes are organised for their local members and will therefore be on a weekend.

Many of the attractions on the various islands charge a fee for entrance. There are however many other attractions that you can visit for free, particularly historic buildings especially churches, the smaller forts and government buildings. The capital of each island is one location where you are certain to find historic buildings and monuments that are free places to visit.

So if you are thinking about a vacation, consider the Caribbean, with a little planning you can have a wonderful vacation at a significantly lower cost.

We all have the best intentions – we make a large dinner and then put the leftovers in the refrigerator to be eaten later. The main problem is that the next day, the leftovers are a little stale and not so fresh, so we toss them out because no one wants to eat stale food. There has to be a better way to keep your leftover foods fresh – and there is. The main ingredient in keeping your leftovers fresh is fridge storage solutions.

There are many storage solutions for your leftovers. These range from the typical plastic tubs to more complex storage items which allow food to air.

Some fruits do not need to be kept in the fridge and fare better if they are stored on the counter. To keep your bananas fresh, look at purchasing a banana hook. A banana hook hangs the bananas up off the counter, preventing age spots and bruises – mimicking the natural habitat of bananas – hanging from a tree. A fruit basket that is open aired (usually made of metal wires) is a great idea for your other fruits and produce. You can put apples, grapes, oranges and more in an open air fruit basket to keep your fruit fresher, longer.

For produce that needs to stay in the refrigerator, look for a produce keeper with a water reservoir and air vents. These features control the moisture that your produce is exposed to and prevents wilting and browning. A produce keeper can keep your produce items fresh for weeks longer.

Another option for produce and left over foods is a vacuum container. With the proper seal, your food can stay fresh much longer than if it is not sealed. Vacuum containers are dishwasher and microwave safe, and can be used in the refrigerator or freezer. Make sure to purchase a clear container so that you can easily see the foods you have stored.

You can even keep your pies as fresh as they were out of the oven with a pie keeper. A pie keeper helps your pies stay fresh and intact, without crushing them during transport or stacking.

Keep your cereals and snacks fresh with a snack dispenser unit. These dispensers are air tight to provide maximum freshness for all your cereals and snacks.

If you have left over bread, be sure to keep it fresh with a bread container. A bread container keeps your loaf of bread from getting moldy. Bread typically becomes moldy when it is exposed to air. A bread keeper is adjustable to hold any size of bread loaf without crushing it.

In order to keep your left over foods fresh as long as possible, be sure that you are storing them appropriately. It is best to store each type of food individually so that you do not have any cross contamination, or soggy foods. What one food needs for moisture, another may not, and therefore you may end up with foods that have too much moisture.

Another important step to keeping left over foods fresh is to package them into the fridge as soon as possible after you have completed your meal. The sooner you can get them into refrigeration, the better. This lessens the amount of degradation that your foods may have by sitting out in the warmer, open air of your home.

Freezer solutions for left over foods are also an option – freezing leftovers into containers is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. “Waste not, want not”, was the motto of the 30s, and these practices of everything having a use should not be lost today. If you are positive that no one is going to want to eat more turkey again this week, why not store it in the freezer in a freezer safe, air-tight container? That way, in a week or two when you are once again in the mood to eat turkey and you are looking for a quick meal idea, you can pull the left over foods out of the freezer. This allows you to serve them as fresh as they were on the day they were cooked.

Left over foods do not have to be stale, they can be foods that both you and your family enjoy eating as much as you did the day you cooked them. With the proper storage solutions for the refrigerator and freezer, you can store your leftovers and make use of them instead of throwing them away in the garbage.

You too can be a ‘waste not, want not’ family by utilizing your left over foods instead of throwing them away. Throwing food away is throwing money away. Many stores have storage solutions for your leftovers. The containers that you purchase can be used time and time again to save your food and save you money!

Gullivers Sports Travel has been named Best Sports Specialist 2007 by South African Airways UK.

South African Airways UK’s annual awards honour its top performing trade partners for their support.  Gullivers was recognised and celebrated for the high volume of flights it requires from the airline for the many tours and incentive travel it organises to South Africa every year.

In recent years, Gullivers has seen South Africa become its number one touring destination for clubs and schools, for all types of sports, and as an official licensed operator for the British & Irish Lions Tour to South Africa 2009, the company estimates that it will take 3,000 rugby supporters over next year as well.

John Hall, Chairman of Gullivers Sports Travel said: “Gullivers is delighted to be awarded the title of Best Sports Specialist by South African Airways UK – it comes from years of arranging travel to one of the most captivating destinations in the world.  We first took clients to South Africa in 1980 - our inaugural Lions tour – just 100 people!  We’ve now taken thousands and awards like these show how much the company has moved forward.”

Gullivers is well known for its involvement in major sporting events such as Rugby World Cups and Ashes Tours. Although this is an important part of their business, equally important are the smaller events and playing tours and they pride ourselves on their service and attention to detail whatever the scale of the project.

Gullivers Incentives is a specialist department organising corporate conferences and incentive trips overseas. Their operations have included chartering cruise liners in the Caribbean, flower arrangers convention in South Africa, a Welsh speaking convention to Patagonia in Argentina, zoologists to Zimbabwe and Radio Hams to Ohio for their annual “Hamvention”.

On a trip to the Caribbean, the thought of a sub tropical climate, white sandy beaches and a great place to relax are the first thoughts that come to the mind. The Caribbean is studded with over 7000 islands, islets, forests and mountains, and deciding which are the top 10 places to see can be quite difficult. Of course, looking for beaches to relax on, or places for scuba diving and snorkelling is easy, as there are plenty of places for this in the Caribbean islands. But to really see Caribbean islands a visit to the sanctuaries, plantations and towns is also required for getting a real feeling for the place.  

                                                                                                                          

Those who are looking for peace and quiet to unwind and to start their vacation with, must first head to Virgin Gorda. It is empty, laid back and not easy to get to, but once there it is an ideally suited place to relax and unwind. St. John is also a good choice, being one of the least populated and least developed of the islands. For an authentic Caribbean experience, Nevis with its flat coast line, rain forests and Mount Nevis - and a rather small population - would be the place to visit. Also, there are no ugly high rises on this island. Most of the luxurious hotels and villas are situated on Anguilla, with its lovely coastline and miles of beaches making it an ideal spot for a relaxing vacation by the sea.  

No visit to the Caribbean would be complete without a visit to Bermuda. The place bustles with people and the atmosphere is always festive. If shopping is required then a hop to Harbour Island is in order. There are colourful cottages along the harbour and old palatial residences. This is one of the oldest settlements in the Bahamas, and the feel of the past still remains in this town. Looking for adventure would require a trip to Saba, where there is a dormant volcano that can be reached by a thin winding road. There is plenty of wild life to be seen in this beautifully preserved island.

The Dominican Republic is a choice of many vacationers that offers two different types of beaches. The Caribbean side boasts white sandy beaches and the gulf side does not. Cayman Islands have a beach called 7 Mile Beach, and the beach just continues into the horizon. For duty free shoppers St Thomas offers stores loaded with electronics, emeralds, diamond and duty free liquor shops. It also has a stunning beach. Luxury hotels and casinos are in Aruba - and also some of the friendliest people.

A trip to the Caribbean without visiting the rum capital of the world, Jamaica, would be considered incomplete. The people are relaxed and friendly and one can ride a bike around Jamaica.  

There are so many islands, and each boasts their own individuality, that one is really hard placed to decide which the best are as each one of them is unique.
