There are plenty of ways to vacation for less, and still retain the freedom and adventurous nature that we pride ourselves on. For example, there is always camping. These days campsites are furnished with all the luxuries of home, so we hardly feel as if we are “roughing it”. There is also the option of a self catering holiday, another great way to escape the impersonal and cold atmosphere of a hotel, and have some peace and quiet on your long deserved holiday. At this kind of accommodation, you will have all the facilities you need with an environment that suits your disposition.

The Taj-Mahal in exotic India was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal(hence the name!). He was so devastated by the loss of her that he decided to honor her in the best way he could – by building a gigantic, stunning mausoleum.

Naturally, your trip would involve a lot more than just the Taj-Mahal. India is a beautiful, unparalleled country, where the old meets the new in amazing ways. In the same day you can shop in a modern mall, experience traditional cuisine or, if you’d rather, a high-class gourmet meal, and later take an elephant ride through the jungle – maybe even spot a beautiful Bengal Tiger. All of this will be available to you should you feel adventurous enough to take a plane on your honeymoon and visit one of the World’s most exotic locations.

For example, their routes are being cut down, so they are flying less often to fewer destinations. This significantly lowers your options when trying to get somewhere. Now that the prices are also hiked, it means that you will have to take the flight you can find, and not be able look for a cheaper alternative.

All in flight “luxuries” are also being cut. Some airlines have cut the meals and drink available to passengers. On short flights, it is common for nothing to be offered, and everything will now come at a price. Other small details have suddenly disappeared. For example, pillows and blankets are now scarce, and must be asked for. Each item must be washed after each flight, and this is an expense they have cut back on considerably.

Guidebook author and travel show host Rick Steves recommends trams, buses and ferries as a better way to experience the sounds of Europe and the sights of the cosmopolitan cities. Steves offers the idea of “it’s more about the journey than the destination, so staying above ground is not quicker.”  Unfortunately, tourists riding the trams and buses are prime target for pickpockets, so be aware of your surroundings and you will find the expense is worth the risk. He goes on to recommend the 69 bus route when in Paris and number 100 for Berlin as the best of public transit.

Stag nights

Stag nights are an ideal time to celebrate friendship as well as your bachelorhood and so often only include those friends of the future bridegroom who have stood by him and been a part of his best memories. From staid games like poker to risqué activities such as striptease acts, they can run the gamut of fun and pleasure.

Music is an integral part of the enjoyment whatever the form it takes and varies from spiced up rock (classic rockers are already married – well, almost all of them) to salsa with TT (techno and trance) numbers in between taking on yer nerves. The right music coupled with high spirits can literally steer the party to the zeniths of intense and exciting fun. It forms the essence of the last night of hedonistic freedom, defined by various activities; the mayhem and the magic of a few splendid ideas that are otherwise not tolerated too well in the society.

Unless it’s brave and bold, a stag night is not the breathless party it’s supposed to be. To the imaginative and fun-loving though, there are several exciting options including racy games – think gears and the racing-quads and the ultimate action and navigating thrills. Water, mud, land and dirt give the rider enough high; the rest is left for the laughter, the booze, the dog racing, trigger pulling (on set targets) and partying at the hot spots, to accomplish. Stags’ nights, after all, have always been noted for vibrant and sizzling parties.

For party ideas on designing stag nights to set things buzzing once more, the most rocking nightclubs provide great ideas. That is, if you are planning it in the basement. With a little effort, the cold hole can be turned into an all-night, vibrant night den. It’s fine so long as it’s limited to intoxication and indoor activities; for unusual and different stuff, there are the flashy bus-parties and lap and pole-dancing clubs. Have some personal fun on the run as well when you are in one of these.
