Destination: Northern Ireland
Best deal found: Everything in Northern Ireland was cheaper than
the more tourist based Republic of Ireland. We had to cross the
Carrickarede rope bridge to get to the spot where my fiance is on the
edge of the northern sea. Here's a link: http://www.travelsinireland.com/northern/carrickarede.htm
A bed and breakfast is cheaper and much more fun than hotel stays in
Ireland.

Destination: Thailand
Best deal found: Everything in Thailand is inexpensive. We took a
1 1/2 cab ride round trip, elephant show and then rides, river raft
ride, buffet lunch, feed the elephants, and 2 stops at local craftsmen
shops for $18/person. A nice hotel in Pattaya is $50/nt. Delicious pad
thai $2, 2 hr massage $15. Be careful of ripoffs and your surroundings,
but the people are service oriented, attentive, and the countryside is
beautiful.
