As a travel writer (and for Examiner, a budget travel writer) I'm constantly on the search for great travel deals and bargains. "The key to budget travel is to approach in advance. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Planning and expending our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Curbing expending and fees, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured achievement and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind saving money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is incredibly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel costs!..". To find a stellar travel deal though takes a lot of time. When it comes to accommodations in particular, it can be quite time consuming to find affordable places to stay, places where you actually want to stay.
