shopping for a vacation

Hello fellow shoppers,

Who can not use a vacation? There are some studies that show people who vacation at least twice a year do better at work. I'm going to give you some tips that can save you money when shopping for a vacation. First where do you wanna go? If u are looking to leave the country and travel somewhere warm a cruise would be a great deal. Almost everything is included on a cruise. If u live near a port u can save even more money because u don't need to pay for airfare to a port. When u are looking for a vacation try to do it yourself, travel agents increase the prices. There are a ton of travel sites online to look through for a vacation. As u are browsing the sites look for the tab that says last minute deals or travel deals. This is where some of the best deals are. When booking airfare try to be flexible with your dates to save money. Its usually cheaper to fly on a Tuesday then Saturday. When looking for air fare also keep in mind that if u book your ticket many months in advance u will save money. The closer u get to the date of travel the higher the price of the tickets. All thou if u are a member of an airlines money saving club u can save money by not buying your tickets until its closer to the date of travel. The airlines often put tickets a side for members of these groups and I have heard of people flying to Orlando from A.C. for $130.00 round trip for two people. It would be a good idea to join one or a few of these clubs if u like to travel. Last minute deals are great if u can drop everything and go. When looking for a vacation browse as many sites as u can to compare prices and deals offered with the vacation. I just booked a cruise to Alaska in May and decided to go with the site that offered 10% off my excursions in Alaska. I saved $100.00 on the excursions. Before u book your airfare with your cruise or hotel compare the price they offer u to the price it would be if u booked it alone. Sometimes its cheaper to book them together sometimes your better off doing it separate. I hope this help u save some money while shopping for a vacation.
Happy shopping!
