Traveling down I-95 my heart skipped a beat as I looked up from desperately trying to find the Burger king receipt for its deduction only to see, horror, gas is $4.43!! Then, worse, I realize, Wait a second, we're not even in Manhattan yet!
We're not even in NY, just S. Conn, and rumor is gas will hit $7!
With these prices in the mix, I can guarantee planning my future health and summer travels will include hotel discounts.
With luck (that means success!), I may need to travel back to NYC for health care. I'm consulting two naturopaths while here: Dr. Wong and Dr. Clarke.
Dr. Wong's first consult alone is $350, not including the arsenal of herbs I expect him to recommend.
Super couponing and collecting pennies won't due to cover these costs. I'm breaking out the super saver in me and looking into hotel deals.
Luckily, I found www.discounthotels.com in my search and a 4 star Marriot in NYC for $199. That price is lowest, 110 percent gauranteed, and you can't go wrong with a Marriot.
At least I can afford the hotel.
The silver lining in this is, studies have proven that people who use their money on experiences over inanimate objects report being happier. This is why I try to make any medical travel an actual "vacation," and maybe, just maybe, with the inexpensive vacation packages, I can continue to do that.
Even better, maybe, just maybe, not only can I have my cake and eat it too, but I can get my care and have money for souvenirs.
