Cool Tents for Camping Vacations

Image
Spending time in the great outdoors is one of our favorite things, if you couldn't tell from the articles we've written on  glamping ,  tents , and  ultra-chic campers . A quick look around the web shows that we're far from the only ones who've fallen in love with all aspects of camping, especially when it comes to tent design. The humble tent has gotten a designer upgrade and now comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. Here are some of our favorites. This may resemble some sort of hovering alien spacecraft or high-end treehouse, but it's really a tent. As you see here, the Tentsile Stingray tent only gives the illusion of floating above the ground. It's is suspended from adjacent trees with heavy duty rope, almost like a hammock but with all the privacy and security of a tent. A rope ladder is included so you can, you know, get into your tent at night.

9 Ways to Save Money on Air Travel

Image
Finding a great flight deal is harder than it used to be. Airfares are on the rise and many carriers are imposing exorbitant new fees for checked bags and on-board meals and entertainment. The process of booking flights for summer travel can be especially stressful, but it’s still possible for budget-minded travelers to keep costs under control. Here are some tips for saving money on air travel this summer. 1.  Book as early as possible.  This is one of the best ways to save money on flights. If you wait less than a month before your travel dates to book, you run the risk of paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars more than if you had bought several months in advance, especially during peak travel times. 2.  Avoid peak travel dates.  Flights falling over holidays like Memorial Day weekend and the July 4 break will almost always skyrocket in price. If you want to avoid the high fares and the holiday crowds at the airport, consider planning a trip for later in the summer. O

Image

However, for travelers lucky enough to have flights that originate or end at any of the airports listed below, the word “best” is totally appropriate.
