Frugal Senior Travelers: Try Doggie Bagging |
 |
 |
 |
If you’re budget-conscious and staying where meals are not part of a prepaid or all-inclusive package, here are some hints. Doggy-bagging can save $25 or more per person per day.
After restaurant dining, wrap leftovers in paper napkins and stuff into pockets or handbags. The most useful for later eating are sandwiches, salads, chicken parts, breads, rolls, crackers, cakes, cookies and sealed mini-packs of butter, mayo and jelly.
They make nice midnight snacks and/or breakfasts the next morning. Enjoy them in your room before heading for the beach, casino, pool, hike or shopping. Otherwise, hotel sit-down restaurant breakfasts and tips usually cost $25 or more for two. Frugal doggy-bag couples can save as much as $280 in a week.
Of course, leaving a restaurant lugging leftovers may be a bit sneaky, but if you do it without fuss, there’s no trouble. Actually, most non-buffet eateries encourage diners to take out loaded doggy bags, often supplying plastic containers to retain freshness.

Would You Sail On 100-Day (And Night) Cruise? |
|
|
|
|
According to industry reports, more and more people are signing on for long cruises of from 30 to 100 days and beyond. It seems some vacationers, including retirees, have so much time (and money) on their hands, they can indulge in such luxuries.
The adventurous can sign on for what could seem as long as a Navy enlistment. However, except for lifeboat drills, it will all be for fun. No such all-hands assignments as swabbing the deck, standing dog watch or mess duty in the scullery.
