Holiday Travel

Holiday Travel Tips: Brought to you by Beau@theskimonster.com.

Lets face it, this time of year the wallets are opened for all those second cousins you haven’t seen since the last awkward family reunion you took a weekend off in the middle of July to sit in an old lawn chair, swat gnats, drink Miller High Life and learn about your heritage.

There’s also the chance your filling up your tank on double time to get to-and-from the hill this time of year, or you're waiting for Tuesdays to maybe snag a deal on a flight to Tahoe. At this point, you're probably even scratching notes on diner napkins trying to work out the break down for a condo in Telluride with 10 of your closest pals (or whoever’s best friends buddy from freshman year that transferred to Cranston and now works at SeaWorld as a chum goer-getter). If they can muster the Benjamin’s and are shred ready, put ‘em on the list.

Balling On a Budget? Me too... Airport Tricks and Tips

This one I already listed above, and apply to getting home to the family for the holidays and your shred needs, two birds with one stone kinda thing.  When your booking a trip these days the airlines tend to drop a few smoking deals on Tuesdays. Jet Blue usually drops an email hint for the penny pinchers.

It’s the holidays, its hard not to celebrate and terminal cocktails are not cheap but if you simply cannot resist the urge to celebrate in the festivities, eating at the bar is a great way to jack up the tab, not as good as buying a round for your new best friends from Texas but it still counts. Stick with the Mc D’s, sure, it’s no fillet minion but its better the risking the questionable fish chimi’s from Margaritto’s Taqueria. 

Hey your on vacation, indulge right? Wrong.  $8 bucks for a glass of chalky vino? And then you get looked at funny because you’re holding up the flight attendants and the dude in 6B is getting antsy because he hasn’t had a coke in the last four minutes.  Why is it these days they don’t all have those portable card readers, I mean we can swipe cards on our iPhones for cripes sake, one card swiper majig for one hundred fifty people? Come on. Your solution: the Bota Box, now sold in most airports.

Some of us are procrastinators; I know this because I am one. If your looking to score a last minute gift for the shredder in your household, check out the TheSkiMonster.com’s outlet
