Hey all,
I was layed off recently and starting to think about doing some traveling to warmer climates. I have very little experience traveling outside Canada.
I'm looking at either a long road trip through southern U.S. or a couple months further south.
My problem is the high cost of accommodations. Staying at hotels for $100.00/night doesn't make much sense.
So what's my starting point to get decent accommodations at reasonable rates.
If I go with the road trip, I was thinking AirBNB...only problem I could see with this is that you have to stick to a strict schedule (most places offer no refunds unless you cancel 5 days in advance).
If I opt for longer term at 1 specific place outside U.S., what would be the recommended way of getting accommodations? (appt rental, time share rental, bed and breakfast ??) . Any recommendations for web sites?
How did existing snowbirds start out when planning their trips south?
Cheers!
