Special September 2010 fares for RTW tickets

Ah, finances. Typically thought of as the “unfun” bit of trip planning (except a few of us who will go all out with Excel spreadsheets and graphs), staying within your budget on the road is a pretty big deal. A few months ago, we talked about budgeting and saving for your round the world trip. So this month we’ll be discussing how to stay on target with your budget while on the road, what credit cards are great for travelers and whether or not working along the way is a part of your plan.

How do you stay on budget for travel expenses? This month’s Round the World Ticket Watch focuses on money + traveling, so if you’re not already a subscriber, go sign up!
