Laissez les idees commencer!

About a month ago, I visited a website for a magazine that I love, BudgetTravel.com, for Budget Travel Magazine. The site is an excellent resource for those of us who love to go on adventures, but may be on a tight budget. As a broadcast production professional, I fit into that category :) But as a Sagittarius, I definitely have the need to go on adventures. So as I was on the website, I checked out this section called "Thr Real Deals", where their travel experts sift through the best specials on airfare, hotels and excellent packages. I like looking through ther lists of deals to get an idea of what a vacation should cost. I started to look into mini vacations in France- they started out at around $749 for 5 days with hotel and airfare- not too bad, I thought! But as I looked into the hotels, they seemed to be located in random places and weren't necessarily that nice. That's when I decided to start from scratch- find my own hotel, something nice but not outrageously priced, in a good arrondissement (neighborhoods in Paris), and book my own flight.
