LoretoIt's not Christmas in July, but nevertheless American Safari Cruises is in the gift-giving mood, offering some value-added specials for holiday travel on its luxury mega-yachts in Mexico and Hawaii.

Loreto and La Paz in the Sea of Cortes, Mexico

For the eight-day, seven-night Dec. 16 sailing of the 120-foot, 22-guest Safari Quest between Loreto and La Paz in Mexico's Sea of Cortés, the company is including a free pre-cruise overnight (Dec. 15) at the romantic, hacienda-like Posada de Las Flores hotel in colonial Loreto. The overnight is valued at $200 and includes a continental breakfast and transfers. Per-person, double occupancy price for an individual stateroom on Dec. 16 begins at $4,695 and for Dec. 23 or Dec. 30, $5,495.

I know that holiday travel tips and easy loans are going to make my holidays a lot less stressful. The holidays are a pretty stressful time for me as it is. My parents divorced when I was a little kid, and although there’s an agreement to spend Thanksgiving with one side of the family and Christmas with the other side, I still feel obligated to make it to all the events for both sides. More family get-togethers mean more money spent on gifts and more travel—a bunch of added stress. Luckily, I found an article that gives great advice for holiday travel, which means less stress for me. I was actually planning on driving to all of my holiday events, but with mountains between my loved ones and me and a 2-wheel drive car, that’s probably not the smartest idea I’ve ever come up with. That’s why I’m so thankful for the holiday travel tips I discovered. I completely forgot that Amtrak even existed, but taking an overnight train would be a great idea. It sounds like a train ticket is going to cost me less than it would to drive, and I don’t have to worry about my car getting stuck in the snowy mountain pass. However, I know that holiday travel doesn’t always go smoothly. I don’t need more stress, especially when I’m running on a strict holiday budget. That’s why I know easy loans will be a lifesaver if something unexpected comes up this season. Click to learn more about Easy Loans.
