S3 Show Notes

Will always share the goods and the bads with you. Pros and cons to everything, and I don’t enjoy it when people don’t give me a balanced review of anything.

First, what is considered off season or shoulder season depends upon your destination…

Pros of Off season Travel

  • Pricing
  • Crowds
  • More comfortable temperatures
  • Avoiding “tourist rage”
  • Consider visiting www.thriftytraveler.com to sign up for airfare deals sent straight to your inbox. (I do not receive any compensation from Thrifty Traveler, I'm just giving you a site that I like to use.)

Cons of Off season Travel

  • Reduced operating hours for attractions
  • Closures for renovations
  • Major Construction
  • Reduced public transportation schedules to and in smaller towns
  • Bad weather?
  • Some accommodations close in smaller towns, cities
  • Weather delays
  • May miss a time of year you really wanted to see
