Tragedy gives way to Travel savings

MiamiWhen the earthquake hit San Francisco during the World Series in 1989, we were riding Universal Studios relatively new display… “Earthquake”. Irony at its best. We continue to enjoy our vacation despite the tragedy that had befallen San Francisco. There were no lines in which to wait for a trolley. No lines at the wax museums. Restaurants were under crowded for a change. All in all, it was almost as if we received preferential treatment. Not to mention the fact that we were there while history had been made.
Of course I brought home the obligatory tee shirts; Shake, rattle and roll… San Francisco earthquake 1989… 7.1 and something about having survived the quake while visiting Alcatraz. As harsh as it may sound, areas of devastation are not only inexpensive places to visit and cut way back on the waiting lines… It’s also a place that if you choose, you can pitch in and throw a little charity their way by volunteering for Habitat for Humanity and other post-crisis volunteer services. Give a little – get a little.
Writing off New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina, New York City Post 9/11 and Bali post terrorist attacks
Throughout time endless numbers of people have gone to the aid of their fellow mankind. After the terrorist attack in New York, after Katrina devastated New Orleans and more; people traveled to those destinations to help other people. Granted, it wasn’t all fun and games. But it was fulfilling and still possible to enjoying the areas lesser affected by the tragedy. The best news yet… it was a tax write off! Any out-of-pocket expenses that you incur that are directly a result of your volunteering post disaster are tax deductible.
Of course you cannot have been reimbursed by anyone else, and they cannot be considered deductible if they can be deemed personal expenses. That’s pretty broad, though. Let’s say for instance you want to deduct your transportation costs. Car maintenance, gas, train, airlines, parking fees, buses and tolls are covered. Your meals and lodging are absolutely considered to be deductible. Since you’re using this for a vacation, be careful not to include costs that are obviously related to vacation expenses. It goes without saying, that those are not deductible. It also goes without saying that those accommodations you write off cannot be a five star hotel and restaurants. Use your head and try not to go overboard.

Accidental post tragedy vacations

A certain English couple who shall remain nameless seem like your normal everyday couple. One works in a dental lab and the other as a sales manager; they enjoy luxurious, well-planned vacations. As fate would have it however, on three separate occasions (vacations), theirs were not the only plans in the making. Three well-planned terrorist attacks would take place in three different vacation locations, all involving this couple. In 2001, the couple was vacationing in New York City during the 911 attacks. The news quickly spread that over 3000 people were feared dead after the hijacked planes crashed the World Trade Center.
They were touring London in a double-decker bus as the underground bombings shook London to its core. Suicide bombers had attacked and bombed buses and ‘tube trains’ killing 52 commuters. And just when you thought it was safe to vacation in Mumbai, the Indian Metropolitan city was inundated by terrorist attacks. They remain inspired by the amazingly quick recovery of the Indian City. In all three cases, the couple remained unharmed. Talk about your preferential treatment. They are able to maintain their sense of humor about the whole thing however. They see it as a strange coincidence. It might even make a good book. Maybe someone will write an article about them!

Fly away honeymoon

The newlyweds in route to their honeymoon in Saint Lucia wondered why their plane was nearly empty; and why their flight to Saint Lucia had been canceled. They were arriving in Puerto Rico when upon landing received the news… A category four Hurricane Georges was making its way through the area with Puerto Rico in its sights. It would be upon them by sundown. Despite their pleas to the airline to “get us out of here”… they were stranded. They ended up holdup in the ballroom of a hotel with glass shattering and steel shutters banging all around them. The storm eventually subsided and they continued on to Saint Lucia where they spent the rest of their honeymoon. Upon the flight home, they ran into a husband and wife who had flown out on the exact same day. “Did you get nailed by the hurricane too?” they asked the couple.
“No,” the woman replied. “Our airline put us through to Miami because there was a storm on the way.”
What’s that I smell…? Is it a complete reimbursement for the honeymoon? Free tickets to and from anywhere…. for life! Imagine the savings!

MunichLast night of freedom or the perfect excuse for a dream lad’s weekend away, however you view it, you will want to make the most of your stag weekend. Whether you’re planning one for pals or picking out your ideal destination ahead of your own wedding, here are three destinations where all your dreams can come true…

Las Vegas
It’s almost as if this city was built to host stag parties – or bachelor parties as they may be known over there. It is not without good reason that this desert oasis is known as Sin City; glamourous casinos, even more glamourous girls, incredible sights on every corner and the chance to get waited on like nowhere else in the world. Whether you want to try and win your fortune at the poker tables, catch a boxing match at the MGM Grand, dine out at luxurious restaurants, party the night away at decadent nightclubs or simply soak in the mesmeric surroundings, you can do all of it and more in the city where time stands still. For more relaxing pursuits, world class golf courses are within easy reach or sightseeing tours can take you deep into the Nevada desert. Adrenalin junkies are well catered for too, try kayaking through the Grand Canyon or skydiving over the desert.

Amsterdam
Amsterdam’s unique charms have been well documented, but even if you’re not jetting off in search of the ‘special’ cafes, then you’ll still enjoy soaking up the chilled out vibe and laid back lifestyle that pervades the city. The infamous red light district is another magnet for stag parties and decadent entertainment will not be hard to find, but the area is as much a tourist attraction for curious passers-by as it is a den of iniquity. Still, however you want to enjoy your final fling, it’s fair to say it can be accommodated in Amsterdam. Girls and ganja aside, Amsterdam has plenty more to offer; picturesque 17th century streets, calming canals, a vibrant arts and cultural scene and buzzing nightlife.

Munich
Germany is not short of thrilling destinations and Munich leads the way, with the free-flowing beer making it perfect for a boozy break. The picturesque Bavarian streets lend a flavour of culture to your trip, but it is the cavernous beer halls, drinking songs and busty, blonde barmaids which prove the biggest attraction for most stags. If you’re lucky enough to make it over during Oktoberfest then your weekend will virtually take care of itself, but at any time of year there is plenty more besides the beer to keep you entertained, from world class football at the home of Bayern Munich to eclectic nightclubs, hearty food to line your stomach and Bavarian saunas and steam rooms to help you sweat out that hangover to send you back to your bride-to-be feeling reinvigorated. You didn’t forget about your bride-to-be, did you?
