Hostels: What They are and Where to Find Them

Posted on June 17, 2009

Hostels are budget accommodations for travelers. They offer an excellent alternative to the traditional motel or hotel, and they exist in most parts of the world for the traveler who wants to hostel stomp and save tons of cash to travel for longer periods of time.

Usually hostels have several bunk beds in each room. Instead of renting one room to one or two people like hotels do, hostels rent a room to four or more people and may therefore offer a substantial discount. Where a hotel might offer a room for two people at $80 a night or more, a hostel can rent a room to eight people for $10 a night each, and still make as much money as a traditional hotel, sometimes more. The cost of hostels in the U.S. average between $8 and $25 per night. In other countries (depending on where you go) hostels can be as cheap as $2 to $3 per night.

Hostels range from the basics of a room and bath, to huge buildings that include kitchens, internet service, recreation rooms, televisions, gyms, and libraries. Some hostels offer free breakfast and the occasional party or tour. Lockers or deposit boxes are available to store your valuables, but bring your own lock.

When a hostel offers free internet and breakfast you'll save even more money than just on a place to stay. If a kitchen is available you can cook your own meals instead of going out to eat, which helps tremendously in keeping your money where it belongs - in your pocket.

If you want to meet other travelers and get travel information, hostels are the way to go. Message boards are posted with notes from travelers looking for companions or selling plane and bus tickets. Transportation deals, flyers from other hostels, tour groups, and other useful information are also posted. If you are looking for something to do in the city you are visiting you can ask the staff for suggestions. They are usually very knowledgeable about the area and helpful.

The downside to some hostels are the regulations they have for the visitor. Most hostels require an out of state ID (in the USA) or a passport. Sometimes a bus or plane ticket must be shown to prove that you are traveling, and an extra dollar or two may be charged to rent blankets and a towel. Some travelers prefer to bring their own towel and a "sleep sheet." This is simply a folded sheet that is sewn together on one side, somewhat like a sleeping bag.

Occasionally chores are assigned to offset a few of the costs of running the hostel, curfews and other rules may affect any party plans that you might have. However, most hostels do not have many rules as they tend to steer independent travelers in other directions.

Hostels are available world-wide in almost every big city and in several small cities. Hostels are especially valuable in expensive countries like the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan.

Pet Air Travel: Flying With Your Pet To Hawaii?

Posted on October 6, 2008

First of all, let me assure you that there are ways to fly with your pets cross country, and even out-of-country, without any damage. You can relax, well, at least a bit anyway. From the research we have done about pet travel and specifically about flying with pets, it seems that most pets are completely safe and unharmed while traveling by airplane.

Still not convinced? Then you should take a look at two great pet air travel websites: Petflight and PetAir. Pet flight is a great site about pet-friendly flights and safe shipping of your pets. It was inspired by a special dog named Brent. Brent and his "pet Dad" discuss how they moved to Hawaii from the USA and they provide invaluable air travel and flight information for flying with pets.

Be sure to read the Pet Travel Reports . Petflight provides monthly reports on the loss, injury, and death of pets during air travel. In addition, you will find great pet travel tips and hard-to-find airline information. We highly recommend Brent's website as a resource when planning to fly with your pets.

Pet Air is another great resource you could tap into. Pet Air has a 28 -year reputation for transporting animals safely. They deal with both wild as well as domesticated animals. We hope studying the information on these 2 websites and any others you may come across, will help to convince you that it should be perfectly safe to fly with pets IF you arm yourself with all the relevant information and use the right channels.

And if you really don't like the idea of the cargo hold for your "babies" then hiring a private jet might be the way to go!

Knowing all the rules of pet travel can be confusing since not all airlines allow pets to fly in the cabin. Do your research and contact the airlines directly for all relevant pet air travel information, since pet travel policies vary from airline to airline, and the different policies can be confusing.

Lots of pet travel information is available on the internet, so you can easily acquaint yourself with the rules of pet friendly travel. There are some basic rules that both you and the airlines must follow such as:

-your pet must be at least 8 weeks old and under 100 pounds

-your pet will not be allowed to be outside of its pet carrier

-non traditional pets are not allowed ( sorry, you'll have to leave your pet snake with his favorite sitter)

-you will need a health certificate from a vet that is no more than 10 days old if your animal will travel in the cargo hold.

These are just a few pet travel rules to keep in mind, but there are many more pet travel tips and resources to help make your pet travel experiences pleasurable for you, the airlines, and above all, for your beloved pet.
