When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our thoughts. Planning and spending our travel budget properly is a consideration for most families. Reducing expending and expenses, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain success and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding protecting money while touring is simple: Even if your personal funds is really limited, 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 thinking about that while traveling, regardless of whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel charge!..". to 2 p.m. at the Bahia Honda State Park
• Earth Day Movie Festival on April 20 at the Florida Keys Eco Discovery Center.

So if you are fortunate to find yourself in the Florida Keys this Spring, why not enjoy the ocean and Earth Day festivities and help celebrate what makes this area so special?
