I need some creative ideas to take an affordable vacation?
I knew people at work who were always getting good deals and planned fun getaways. I know there is a way to plan my first family vacation and have everything first rate but affordable. Any suggestions? Websites, or suggestions what I could do that would be an incredible memory with sons ages 11, 13 and-16?

If you want to travel to your destination by plane, there are also several helpful Internet sites where you can shop for the best airfares (I like cheapoAir.com) and make all of the necessary travel arrangements. Traveling by plane is only one option, of course, as you can also travel by train or bus too. You can also search for places to stay, such as hotels, motels, villas, time shares, condominiums, travel lodges, chalets, resorts, and privately-owned vacation homes anywhere in the world. The lists are practically endless! You could even consider staying at the homes of friends or relatives in order to save even more money.
Now that you have some ideas, you will need to decide on how much you can afford and on what locations you would like to travel to. To decide what you can afford, you will have to divide up the money you have available for your vacation. Divide the amount up by the categories of travel expenses, accomodation expenses, meal expenses, and entertainment and activity expenses. Don’t worry about setting aside money for emergency expenses, such as car repairs, if you have a credit card to fall back on. How much you will spend on each category is up to you as there is no set formula.
Remember that your vacation doesn’t have to be expensive to be a special time away from the daily routine of things. With some checking around to obtain the necessary information, and a little planning, you can afford a trip away from home anytime!
