Which rental car will you pick next?

When you are looking to next rent a car, maybe for a holiday, you may be interested in trading your rental car coupons against last year’s European car of the year as voted for by leading motoring journalists. It was the Fiat Nuova 500, a small car ideal for helping to keep the car rental charges down and great for nipping around all those little streets when you are exploring the quaint little town you have just stumbled across. If you don’t like that you could try the 2007 winner; the Ford S-Max – again not a large car and so you won’t get stung with your car rental charges.

Costa Rica Hostels

Posted by admin on February 1st, 2010 and filed under Travel | No Comments »

Costa Rica has become a favorite destination for tropical travelers. With nearly 800 miles of beaches on two oceans, wondrous volcanoes and over a quarter of its land now set aside as parks or reserves, this stable democratic country, easily reached from the United States, offers something for everybody. Though it is only the size of West Virginia, almost one of every 20 species of plant and animal is found here. More kinds of butterflies than the entire African continent; nearly the same number of bird species as are found in the entire continental U.S. Great fishing, surfing, hiking, rappelling, and much more. Fortunately, you don’t need to break the bank to visit. Costa Rica hostels have sprung up all across the country and many of them are real bargains. Think $12 a night. Many offer private rooms with baths for just a little more and knowledgeable travelers speak highly of them.
