Couple Money Weekly Round-Up: Summer Weather

by Elle on May 30, 2010

Getting away for a bit can be relaxing.

Getting away for a bit can be relaxing.

June is coming up this week and we’re excited! It’ll be a busy month, but we’re going to hang with family and friends. The big trip will be our California trip. We’re checking out things to do for our vacation.

To prepare for our friend who is house sitting, we’re cleaning the place top to bottom. Believe it or not, it’s been a few months and we’re still not completely unpacked. I intend on taking care of that tomorrow and also remove some clutter by donating some stuff.

I’m also reading up on vacation tips and I found an article on Smart money about airline baggage. It’s about 10 things baggage handlers won’t tell you.

1. “Don’t pack light—we need the money.”
2. “We’re losing fewer bags—because there are fewer to lose.”
3. “Some of us have sticky fingers.”
4. “Sure, we can handle your pet—but can your pet handle us?”
5. “We don’t actually do that much.”
6. “Not all bags are created equal.”
7. “Stressing about baggage claim? You should.”
8. “Many of us don’t actually work for the airlines.”
9. “We can’t handle unusual items.”
10. “If you think we’re bad here, just wait till you go abroad.”

If you’re going to be traveling by air with luggage you may want to read the whole article. As with everything, you just have to be prepared as best you can.

Personal Finance Posts I Enjoyed This Week

If you’re looking for some personal finance posts to review, here are a few I liked this past week.

Remember if you submit your best post over the past week, I’ll read it and probably include it in my weekly round-up.  I’ve discovered some great posts and new blogs this way.

Enjoy your weekend!

    We’re heading to Los Angeles for the week. Hoping to get into E3 for a day; if not, we’re going to have some extra time to explore the area. :)

    Oh, you’re going to E3? How very cool! Have a fun time in good ole’ LA. Hitting Disneyland, too?

    If all goes well, we’ll be there for a day. Not sure on Disneyland; we’re deciding this week on some stuff we’d like to do.
