Flying home for the holidays this year? Better read this first …

This holiday season is going to be filled with both good and bad news for budget-minded travelers. The bad news is that fares are much higher than usual (whatever that means, right?) flight capacity is way down and any last-minute deals are becoming scarcer to get (at least, that’s the way I’m seeing things).

This is actually happening … This is our time, it’s our nation now … and whoever doesn’t like it (ex. people who love to live in a fearful state and watch Fox News) can kindly move up to Canada (what’s that Canada? Oh, they don’t want you up there either).

For those who care about this country’s economy (not to mention, their own finances) get ready for some serious change … YES WE CAN! Oh, that feels great to say. BTW: I found some good articles to help you pass the time, until closing time (read: beer-o-clock). Enjoy: Continued
