t Page 8 The Clarington/Courlicc Independent, Bowmanvillc, Saturday, January 9, 1999 A Travelling Solo Being single I know how dil'fieult or expensive it can be to get away by yourself. The travel industry is mainly mainly focused on two people travelling together and often penalizes the single traveller. traveller. That doesn't mean that we, the unattached, should miss out. There arc a few ways to cither avoid paying the extra bucks or at least . ease the suffering when making travel plans. Some vacation packages, especially in Cuba, arc now advertising "no single supplement". supplement". This is good news for the single traveller since it will save you hundreds of dollars. Cheek with your travel agent to find out specific specific destinations that offer this bonus. Many packages will not charge you a single supplement supplement if you arc willing to share a room with someone of the same sex. The lour company will match you with another single traveller going to the same destination. destination. This of course will save you a lot of money, but most people don't want to share their vacation with a stranger and so it is not a very popular option. I tried it once on a ski trip to the Eastern Townships in Quebec and found that it wasn't all that bad. You spend very little time in your room and if your "roomy" is as considerate as you are, it works out just fine. Still, you pay your money and you take your chances. If you arc going to pay the single supplement here's something to consider. Compare the total price of your ticket travelling single to what it would cost if two were paying the regular fare, Often you will find-that, -the difference, depending .. on the package, i'à-only a- few hundred dollars or less. If this is the case, consider this option. Offer to take along one of your friends if they pay the difference. In this case, it doesn't cost you any more and you made someone very happy. In the The Traveller Your Guide To: Health, Hobbies and Entertainment Blood Donors Invited to Clinic by Rob Evans pafit I have found the difference difference to be so small that I have paid it myself and taken a friend along for free. If you arc not travelling on a package then your expenses should not be affected by the fact that you arc travelling single. Hotels charge by the room and airlines airlines charge by the seat. Depending on your destination, destination, you and or your travel agent can arrange all the particulars accordingly. Being single should not stop you from travelling. In fact, there arc many advantages. advantages. You gel to make all the decisions and can alter or change your plans on the spur of the moment without having to give any explanation. explanation. You can sit and read or go and explore as you please. And there is always someone to talk to. Travellers are famous for sharing stories about where they have been and where they're from. So get out there and enjoy your trip. You'll have some great experiences and maybe even make some new friends. : Ticket for one please. Happy travels. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. A. Surette of Bowmanville, the winners of the Niagara Falls weekend weekend for two giveaway.
