what things to pack, what things you should not miss, and
what you should bring in order to have better travel and a
good time at your destination. You need to get great tickets
to where you want to go, and if you are going to Europe, you
need to get really good deals because travel to Europe can
be expensive. Moreover, you need to get good deals on the
hotels and lodgings that you pick, because Europe is so
picturesque, you need days and days to see what makes each
city special. Traveling last minute almost guarantees that you will lose out on some of the "book ahead" hotel deals that you might otherwise have found.
