Researching The Internet

by Anne Watcher on Friday June 22nd, 2007 at 1:06pm

The internet is a great tool for searching for information. I soon found that you can rent a small apartment for $350.00 US a month. Pictures are online to see what your getting. I have even found restaurants with their menus online. We have tracked down flights, car rentals, hotels, hot spots to see, bus routes, etc.

Right now I'm watching flight prices to see if there is much change week to week as we are not leaving for about five months yet. So far I have found that if you can get a red-eye flight out of Detroit you can fly for half the price of flying from Toronto. Only problem is that you arrive in Managua at 12:30 am. Having never been there - or any where - we're not sure if it is a wise move.

We have decided to live in Granada which is 40 miles from the airport. So if we take that flight we will have to get hotel rooms for the first night and then hope taxis are still running at that time of night as the airport is about 10 miles outside Managua. Of course our adventurous son said take the flight and sleep in the airport.

Being a HUGE Amazing Race fan I see them do if all the time. Could we? We won't have a camera crew with us so maybe they would ask us to leave? Maybe not though, we could do a lot with the money we'd save!! Will have to consider this more.
