Traveling is a great way to see the world, experience new cultures, and create lasting memories. However, it can also be expensive. Here are some tips to help you manage your finances while traveling: * Create a budget: Before you leave, create a budget for your trip. This will help you track your spending and make sure you don't overspend. * Use credit cards wisely: Credit cards can be a convenient way to pay for things while traveling, but be sure to use them wisely. Avoid overspending and pay your bills on time to avoid interest charges. * Be aware of exchange rates: When using your credit card or debit card abroad, be aware of exchange rates. Some cards charge foreign transaction fees, so be sure to check with your bank before you travel. * Have access to cash: It's always a good idea to have some cash on hand, especially when traveling to countries where credit cards are not widely accepted. * Consider sending money internationally: If you need to send money internationally, Western Union offers a variety of options to help you do so quickly and easily. By following these tips, you can help ensure that your trip is both affordable and enjoyable.

"Ribbon Cutting For South Tampa's Freshest Park and Playground Robert L. Tue, 04/07/2026 - 08:11 am Ribbon Cutting For South Tampa's Freshest Park and Playground The City of Tampa is cutting the ribbon today on a beautiful, new South Tampa park and playground.The space, formally South Dundee Park, but called Butterfly Glade Park by the neighbors, covers about half an acre. It includes multiple play structures: a pendulum swing, a climbing net, a balance log, and balance posts."We built a brand new park from nothing," Mayor Jane Castor said. "And it was a great collaboration between Parks & Recreation, the Green Team, Mobility, the Sunset Park Area Homeowners Association, and a devoted father, Christian Brown."Parks & Recreation has spent nearly $700,000 here. Brown donated $200,000 to this project, which includes a butterfly garden and artwork by his daughter, Brooke, who passed away at age 18 in 2017.Brooke, who attended Plant High School and is pictured below, aspired to be a nurse. She enjoyed working out, outdoor music festivals, and creating art. She illustrated a children's book titled "Apes, Bears, Cats.""We want to thank Hillsborough County, for giving approval to our Mobility Department to handle the safety work on West Shore Boulevard, which is a County road," Parks & Recreation Director Ted Fowler said. "And Parks & Recreation staffers and the Green Team did much of the planting, preparation, and ecosystem improvements themselves, to save time and money."The new park is located at 2703 S Westshore Boulevard.
