Whenever I travel, I consider the accommodation first before planning on everything else. First, it must be strategically located. Second, it should not be too crowded. Third, it should be very budget-friendly. Though I am a trooper by nature, I nevertheless spend so much time in planning on where to catch those cheap stays for my trips without compromising on my comfort and convenience. I am no leprechaun but I delight in finding really great hotel deals with extremely generous perks to be pure gold.
