Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Think About Tropical Mexico Vacations

By Alvin Heen

Budget Friendly Vacationing in Mexico is right in front of you, just look!

Has the thought of high prices interrupted your dreams of visiting a different country? Is cabin fever taking control of your life leaving you with the urge to just get away? Even if you are on a budget, you can still visit the beautiful country of Mexico and enjoy yourself while you are there without going broke.

When you think of beautiful beaches, rich culture, luxury cruises you have to think Mexico. And even with a tight budget you can still enjoy all of these great luxuries. No matter what your situation is, Mexico is the place to be.

Planning is a crucial key to any vacation. Knowing where to start the planning is also helpful. Let?s start with airfare. Airfare should be the first thing that you should look into. It gives you the base of what your travel expenses will be. If done correctly you can save a lot of money. Some people just look at the round trip cost and do not ask about anything else. But there are many more packages that are available. Your local travel agent might be able to get you the airfare and accommodations all in one package. Some can include travel within the country also.

Accommodations are another great way to save money. If you have family of friends that live in Mexico, ask them if you can stay with them for all or part of your stay. If you do not, there are many nice places that you can stay and still keep your budget in tact. You can plan to do anything from camping to staying at a luxury resort, depending on your budget of course. Most travel agents can offer you great package deals on hotel accommodations, that may even have the airfare included. Most hotel packages will include a free breakfast for you, thereby saving you a little on your dining expenses.

Dining will always be a priority when traveling. There are many ways that you can save and still eat some of the best food the country has to offer. Once you are there, the local people will also be more than happy to assist you finding cheaper dining solutions.

Fresh produce markets are also readily available. Your travel agent can help find the exact locations of these markets to help save you with the cost of dining out. They will gladly explain their cultures and why they eat certain foods. Their diets are a lot different than other countries and by doing this it will help take the strain off of your wallet. Just make sure that you wash your vegetables thoroughly. That is a good practice no matter where your destination is.

Traveling will be an essential once you get there. As a safety precaution, do not take any taxi that is not provided to you buy your hotel or travel agent. Buses are one of the safer and less expensive ways to travel. The locals are very familiar with public transportation. They can help assist you by informing you of the departure and arrival times of their public bus system.

Speaking of busses, you may want to consider taking a bus when traveling into the country. Some of the major bus lines such as Greyhound offer travel straight into the country. This could make your whole vacation more affordable for you.

With some careful planning any size budget can be arranged for an enjoyable trip to beautiful Mexico. Do that and you?ll never look back years later wishing you had just taken the time to figure out how you could do it and later have those Mexican vacation memories.
