FABULOUS WEBSITE FOR TRAVELING
Yes, summer vacation time is over, but that doesn't mean you have to stop all your travel plans (besides it pays to plan ahead). Especially when there are some great new ways to travel. In the past I have talked about couch surfing. Today I would like to share Airbnb. Airbnb is seriously cool. Their website describes them as a community marketplace for unique spaces. And they mean it! You can rent a room with a host family among other people rooming, you can rent a whole cabin or home while people are away, and of course you might also be interested in sharing your own space.
You search the site for the place you want to stay. Put in the dates of your travel and enjoy reading and seeing different places. You can check out other people's reviews to help you along with your decision. There is an on-site messaging system where you can message your hosts and ask them questions. When you are ready to book, you book through Airbnb. Once your host accepts, you get all the important details. Travel, check in and after you are through, leave your own review. The host will review you too. This is nice for the hosts so they can become more secure with renters.
If you decide to actually host your own place to maybe make a little money to help offset some bills, register at Airbnb. You list for free, answer guests questions, and either confirm or decline when someone would like to rent your place. And the host gets paid 24 hours after the guest checks in. Hosts pay 3% when they receive a successful booking. Learn more at the links below.
Oh and if you want to stay in a really unique place, check out the selection of tree houses! STUNNING!!!!!!

Can it possibly be time to get Christmas freebies? Yes it is. Tinyprints.com has two Christmas cards that you can customize now, pick your card and customize it, select to have it mailed to yourself, and by using the code SANTA11 at check out, get totally free. I know it probably seems a little crazy to start thinking about Christmas, but it is NEVER to early. :) Remember you get ONE card.

I have mentioned before how much I love My Coke Rewards. With My Coke Rewards, you earn points when you submit the codes on your Coca Cola product caps or the codes found in the multi-pack cartons. You can cash in your points for free items like magazine subscription, gift cards, movie tickets, MP3 players and more. I typically cash mine in for free magazine subscriptions (my latest is Good Housekeeping) free Coke products, and just last night I qualified for a free NCAA t-shirt. What you need to do is enter six 20 oz Coke product codes. Then enter in the code FOOTBALL or MYTEAM. Actually I used Football before I even entered all the codes. You do not have to enter the codes all at once, but once supplies are gone that is it. Once you have entered in six codes, you will have the opportunity to pick a NCAA college shirt. No points will be taken off of your account and it will be shipped for free. If you don't drink soda, ask a friend for their caps. You'd be surprised at how many people do not take advantage of this way to get free stuff. Register for My Coke Rewards at the link below.
