SAVING $1000 ON YOUR VACATION

Taking a trip around the world is a great family holiday! However, it can be draining - no, not just the heat and humidity or being in the parks all day but somehow cash can seem to just flow from your pockets too! This short article shows you how anyone can save a small fortune on their vacation...


1. Shop Around for Flights!

This has got to be the number one tip! Shopping around for the best flights has got to be one of the best ways of saving money. Go on-line, ask travel agents and friends - but shop around! Register direct with airlines and respond immediately a deal comes in. I like the way the Virgin Atlantic Plane flys in on my computer screen to tell me of the latest deals! I can't tell you how much you'll save but we have seen many get flights for 1/2 price - even at the busiest times of year. How much you save is out of our control, so: Running Total Savings: $0

2. Book Flights either early or Late.

It speaks for itself really. Be quick or be bold! Again, how much you save is out of our control, so: Running Total Savings: $0

3. Book Discount and Attractions Tickets before you go!

Search and book on-line with a reputable dealer. To be honest, there are few savings to be had but a few $ here and there and we'll soon be there! Here is a list of on-line Attractions Tickets dealers we know. Savings $65. Running Total Savings: $65

4. Take your own drinks

Sounds silly really but drinks in the parks are over $2.00 each and you need a lot of them! Compare that with 48 Sodas for $6 at a pharmacy and you'll see how savings can be made. My top tip here is to freeze some bottles of water to mix in with them to keep them cool and you'll not be carrying any 'dead' weight. Saving over 10 park days - $400. Running total savings $465.

5. Rent a Villa or Discounted Hotel



So - a villa is private, much better equipped and much cheaper! Not to mention much cheaper - Saving $590. Running total Savings $1155.

Whoops! I had intended to write about '10 steps to save you $1000 during a Vacation' - Sorry. We got there in 5. Well not really, we actually showed that its quite possible to save over $1000 by doing only two of the steps I mentioned.

To summarize: If you want to save over $1000 on your Vacation Reserve a 4 or 5 bed Florida Villa or discounted hotel apartment and take your own drinks! What could be simpler!

Check back here soon for another installment - and we'll see how much more we can save for you!
