I need to ask a silly question:
I noticed that a lot of people get really excited when they "pay off" their trip, get their documents, etc. But at the risk of sounding downright dumb - I don't get it. Is there something advantageous about paying it off in advance? If so, I'm missing the boat here. We booked our room, paid the deposit, and will pay the rest in full when we check in. That way our money sits in our accounts, maybe makes us a few bucks in interest, and we don't relenquish it until we have to. Am I going about this the wrong way? What gives?
I know some of you can offer insight on this one - help! Am I doing something wrong?
