Here are three great travel tips from our travel experience.

1. Book travel with a credit card that offers protection. For example, often American Express extends warranties and offers other travel protection.

2. Shop around. Even though it would seem Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia and others would have the same offering and rates, it isn’t true. They often have different arrangements for rates, terms, and pricing.

3. You don’t need to book far in advance to save money. Sometimes a great deal can be gotten close or far.

In this economy, a great way to save money and also travel is go where your dollar is worth more. Many countries are very expensive to go, such as Japan. Other countries can stretch a dollar far.

This book, The World’s Cheapest Destinations, discusses 21 countries where one’s money goes very far. Click here to read more about this book plus customer reviews on Amazon.com.

2. Prices are low now and may go up soon.

3. Some areas are not getting safer so sooner could be better than later.
