Would love to hear ways anyone has made traveling in places like Italy, Wales, Ireland, England and Scotland affordable. Anyone done a crazy trip like this on very little money?

catherIN Hey,lady here's a piece of great wisdom: A flat tire on the car is quicker & easier to fix than a flat tire on the body [belly]. It's can also be cheaper. ..piece of wisdom from someone who has her little flat,spare tire, LOL! Oh,I'm late.Sorry!...

What do you think is a fair price for having good,candid pictures taken of your children/family?I'm not talking about posed photos like they take at Wal-Mart. How much would you be willing to pay a photographer?

My teenage daughter has become a vegetarian. Does anyone have some good recipes that I can cook & freeze? My thought is it would be nice to make serving size portions that she can pull out of the freezer.
