All I can see is ...flesh and wrinkles, and just can't understand what this picture has to do with the article. READ THE ARTICLE: Anyway, do you consider yourselves big spenders when travelling? And please forgive me for the comments I made about that kiss! But do you think I am cruel here? I would put a poster with souvenirs instead of this!

As for being a big spender - the answer would have to be no, not at home or when travelling, although I know these things are all relative. I rarely buy souvenirs or stay in luxury hotels etc. I do spend money on hire cars and other things that in truth are luxuries such as entrance fees to historical ruins etc. -------------------- In Search Of ...........

I used to be far more budget concious but no longer need to be as I get older. I don't like wasting money on hotels though- one thing I don't intend to do while away is spend my time in a hotel. -------------------- Would be life traveler. Visit BackPackingShop

If it is a 5 star hotel I do want to enjoy the luxury of my stay. If it is on a nice beach and I have F/B I don't care much if I go out but take advantage of the whole package, relax and enjoy my stay. On a central city hotel when my aim is sightseeing and getting to know the city, then indeed I am out most of the time. -------------------- My LATEST BLOGS: Marmari, Vasa, and CYPRUS, the Unique Destination for Business and Holidays!!!
