This seems almost funny for me to write about because my children know that we don't go on vacations anymore. Through many travels with our ministry, we have learned to enjoy ourselves and stay within our budget. Following are some vacation planning tips.
Accommodations Plan ahead.
Use coupons and discount benefits from travel clubs and other memberships. House-swapping or visiting friends overnight are also options, but be careful and courteous. Meals Breakfast is usually included with our hotel stay. Instead of eating lunch at fast-food joints, we shop for it at grocery stores. We take a cooler and make many of our lunches at parks.
