Traveling on a Budget : The Cheapest Vacations Possible

If you're going to travel on a budget, you should think about different ways to cut down on your expenses. This article will give you a number of tips that will let you take a vacation without maxing out the credit cards.

First, if you can, you should find a place within driving distance. This will save you a ton of money on flying costs. If you can't drive, then time your vacation around the plane flights. Look for the cheapest, and fly during off periods. If you're going on the weekend, you're going to pay more.
