Planning

I think half the fun of any trip is the “planning”. Where to go, what to see, lodging, food, what to wear, and the list goes on.

If a road trip is in your future, to save on fuel, consider the free GasBuddy app that pinpoints your location and directs you to the cheapest stations around.

If a trip to a National Park is on the agenda it’s the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service this year. Just an FYI parks are getting a record number of advance reservations, so the sooner you book, the better.

And keep in mind the U.S. dollar is strong again and consequently with the value of the Canadian dollar as weak as it is, you can expect to save 25% to 35% off shopping, restaurants and activities.

You take the time to “plan” a vacation don’t you owe it to yourself to “plan” for your retirement too?
