Question by Mina: Going to Puerto Rico in December, need advice for booking trip…?
This is my first real trip, going to Puerto Rico (San Juan) from TX over the Christmas holidays. It will be 3 of us traveling. I need some help, because I do not really know where to start. Here are my questions:

Is it typically cheaper to book online than through an agency?

What websites are great for booking trips?

Should I book flight and hotel separately or together?

Since it is August, is it too early to book or perfect timing? Would I get better deals booking closer to the date?

Thanks for any and all advice….I need it! 🙂

Listen, im puerto rican and i just spent 2 months in puerto rico. though im only 15 i like to book my trips and i usually use spirit airlines. they have the cheapest airfares. as for a hotel, if you go to expedia you can find good hotels and flights together they are usually cheaper that way.

some places you should visit are the old city of san juan or ” el viejo san juan” which is located at the coast of san juan. right by the old city is possibly the most famous place that is a fort called, ” el morro”. if u like shopping in a neighborhood of san juan known as ” hato rey
norte”. there is the biggest mall in the caribean there called PLAZA LAS AMERICAS. you cn go horseback riding in the central and northeastern part of the island

Answer by maurice k
You will get cheaper rates if you book during the low season and January falls within the low season. The high season is June – September. Also if you are on budget you should get smaller travel agents – they will give you good rates. I am a tour guide / consultant based in Nairobi. I deal with budget safaris around east africa. You can get me at xkcox@yahoo.com I can assist you to choose the best Kenya safari. Please feel free to contact me for further enquiries.

…depending on the exchange rate…probably no…
europe is expensive
you could save on travel costs by renting a car (sometimes they have deals like 1euro a day) but then you’ll still have to pay for gas
and then you’ll have to pay for parking
if you never eat out you can do well because bread, wine and certain sandwich “fillers” can be super cheap
staying places can be cheap too
i dunno it’s a really tight budget…i honestly don’t know….depending on where you want to go and what you want to see
so much of spain is about it’s regional foods
and you’ll probably want to see museums…some have free days…usually wednesdays and weekends…

weather:
COLD COLD COLD rainy wet
at least in Madrid
but I’m from Bermuda so right now i’m freezy my bumpy off and it’s only October!

top destinations:
barcelona
madrid
toledo
segovia
cordoba
granada
sevilla
etc
