1) Be flexible!
If possible have two or three weeks and at least as many destinations in mind before starting to plan your vacation. By doing this you will increase the chances of finding a good deal.
2) Pack a lunch
One mistake that many travelers make is under budgeting for food. Eating can be the most expensive part of your whole trip. A couple of suggestions for lowering the costs of meals. Stay at an all inclusive resort or purchase an expensice plug in cooler and take healthy snacks and drinks with you. Another idea is to choose an hotel that offers a good warm free breakfast. I always look for all you can eat buffets and have a really late lunch and generally just snack in the evening.
3) Stay at budget hotels
Remember the number one rule about hotels, you are only sleeping there.
AAA has some good suggestions on hotels/motels that are clean and won't break your vacation budget. Click here for link
4) Ask for deals
Don't be afraid to call and ask for deals whether it is for an restaurant or hotel. These businesses are very competitive in tourist destinations and want your patronage.
5) Take a friend
So you and your best friend have always wanted to take a road trip? Jump in the car and split the costs along the way.
I hope these suggestions help you make your next trip your best ever.
Happy Traveling!
