This dish is not served often enough. Most people think it takes too much time to plan, but when done right, it takes less time than just about any dish you cook “the traditional way”.
It’s guaranteed to please the whole family, but the best part isn’t the dish itself… It’s the stories that follow for the rest of you & your loved ones’ lives.
Oh yeah – and if done well – the price you’ll pay will be a story in itself.
It’s called “Vacation”.
Most people don’t serve it nearly enough because, when done the traditional way, it’s time-consuming and EXPENSIVE. Until we discovered this recipe, my entire family (myself included) thought that too.
But ever since trying “The JGOOT Way” of travel, both sets of parents are loving it. Our brothers, sisters, friends and cousins are visiting each other more often. By traveling smarter, they’re not wasting hundreds (if not thousands) on airfare alone and they’re taking more vacations. They’re staying at nicer resorts and doing cooler excursions.
All-in-all – “The JGOOT Way” of travel has become a family favorite, and if you try the free recipe below, I think you’ll like it too.
Vacation “JGOOT Style”
- Average cost: 50% to 90% less than what others on the same plane are paying
- Time required: A few hours a week
- Ingredients: Hawaii, Maldives, Paris, Cabo, Australia (and season-to-taste with any other destinations on your bucket list.)
- Optional ingredients: Any destinations you have friends & family you wish you visited more.
- Secret ingredients:
- Advance prep. (6 months is recommended. 10 is better. Heck – Don’t even worry about how far in advance. Just start looking whether you’re planning a trip or not.)
- Flexibility. (This is key. Painting yourself into a corner and going to Maui June 20th to June 27th leaves absolutely no room for cutting costs. It’s virtually guaranteed to cost you 3 times as much as watching flight-prices to all islands in Hawaii in late June – and island-hopping if needed. (And it’ll cost you 5 to 7 times as much as what you’ll pay for Caribbean destinations in late June.)
Step 1:
Go to AirfareWatchdog.com, enter your home airport, and enter any and all ingredients at this time. (Don’t forget — the more destinations you watch, the better your odds of finding something.
If Hawaii is on your list, keep an eye on cheap flights to all islands. You can usually grab a $20 to $50 flight to island-hop to a specific island you have your heart set on.
If any destinations in Europe are on your list, enter neighboring countries too. You’ll exponentially multiply your odds of finding not just a good deal, but a deal so amazing – you won’t give a second thought to shortening or lengthening your vacation to take advantage of those prices.
Step 2:
Watch and wait.
Check your alerts every day. You’ll mostly see mediocre deals. Don’t waste your time on them (those deals are for the suckers who didn’t plan ahead.)
What you’re waiting for are deals so amazing – you won’t be able to resist. You’ll be able to fly four of you there for what the family sitting right behind you will pay per-person, and since the trips are usually months in advance, you will easily be able to plan your schedule around them.
