We could all use a vacation.
But when time and money are short, you don't need to venture far and long for the perfect getaway. The key to budget travel is to approach ahead. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the truth of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Considering and spending our travel budget wisely is a main concern for most families. Lowering spending and charges, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind saving money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal finances is highly 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 recalling that while traveling, no matter whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel charge!. You don't even need a car! The San Francisco Bay Area is home to hundreds of miles of biking and walking trails, many of which connect with public transportation.
You can take a ferry to Angel Island ($14.50 one-way from Pier 39 in San Francisco) and camp out for the entire weekend, or simply escape for the afternoon. Between Mt. Diablo (appropriately named, with a grueling climb to its 3,849-foot summit) or the Alameda Creek Trail (very flat, ideal for family bike rides), the Bay Area hosts trails for bikers and hikers at every level of experience.
The region's largest network of recreational paths, the Bay Trail, is a planned 500-mile continuous trail circling San Francisco and San Pablo Bays. Almost 300 miles of the trail have already been completed and are open to the public, free of charge.
For a day's excursion along the Bay Trail, you can explore Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont, rife with butterflies, small lizards, and beautiful birds. A gentle path meanders along the Bay and is open to bicyclists, hikers, and horseback riders. The park connects to the paved, 12-mile Alameda Creek Trail, which is accessible from the Fremont and Union City BART stops.
If you're feeling adventurous, you can even bike across the nearby Dumbarton Bridge into Menlo Park, and continue onward for dinner in downtown Palo Alto. From there, you can hop on Caltrain to get home; Caltrain allows bicycles in the first and last cars, for no additional charge.
To learn more about the Bay Trail and to download free PDF maps and guides, visit the San Francisco Bay Trail website.
