FAQ: should you pay a single supplement or negotiate for a lower rate?
A single supplement is
a charge paid by a solo traveler to compensate a hotel or cruise line for
losses incurred because only one person is staying in a room or cruise ship
cabin. Most hotel rooms and ship cabins are built under the assumption that at
least two people will occupy them
You will be required to pay them from
some vendors, but this is negotiable. You should negotiate for the lower rate
or move on to a vendor who is willing to work with you. Do not settle for the
first price when it comes to a single supplement. Your pocketbook will thank
you.
Today’s Independent Destination- Arkansas
Depending on where you live, Arkansas may be
one of your last US states to visit, like for me. I don’t know anyone who lives
there, and so it was not a natural place to visit. However, It was worth the effort, so I visited on three
different trips during Covid. Arkansas is called, “the natural state”. There
are six regions within the state, and I visited all of them during a month.
My second trip was to Hot Springs, a beautiful
scenic spot, even with a huge thunderstorm. I got some nasty poison ivy here. Hot Springs National Park is an American national
park in central Garland County, Arkansas, adjacent to the city of Hot Springs,
the county seat. The hot spring water has been popularly believed for centuries
to possess medicinal properties, and was a subject of legend among several
Native American tribes, the city of Hot Springs Arkansas has been home to Major
League Baseball spring training, illegal gambling, speakeasies and gangsters
such as Al Capone, horse racing at Oaklawn Park, the Army and Navy Hospital,
and US’s 42nd President Bill Clinton.
What are the Ozarks?
The Ozarks, also
known as the Ozark Mountains or Ozark Plateau, is a physiographic region in the
U.S. states of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and the extreme southeastern corner
of Kansas.
There are a lot of Arkansas Bridges, and trees
grow in water near these bridges. That’s a memory to share with others.

Today’s Travel Advice- Tooth Smart Travel
- Keep supplies like floss and toothbrush
handy.

occur while scuba diving.
