Money is tight right now, we are in the middle of a recession and it feels like the walls are caving in around you.
You are in desperate need of a vacation but you can't really afford one right now, so what do you do? You get resourceful! There are affordable ways to get a vacation you desire.
In a tight economy and with kids, you can't even imagine what it would cost to get away right now.
Never fear, where there is a will there's a way.
I have a few affordable ideas that may be just the answer to getting the vacation you deserve.
When money is a little tight you can still have a nice get a way.
If you don't mind a sales presentation that may last about an hour and a half, you could take up an offer for beautiful accommodations at an ocean front resort or hotel near some great attractions.
I have taken my family of 6 on vacation for 8 days in the Mountains; we have had 4 days in beautiful ocean front hotels and tickets to Disney! For vacations like that, who cares about going through a sales presentation? Trust me if you feel long overdue for a vacation, this could be your answer! When you take on these type of vacation deals, as I've mentioned, you typically have to go through a timeshare sales presentation but the accommodations are well worth the tour.
Now if you're not up for the timeshare tour, another great get away idea is a camping trip.
If you love the outdoors, there are some gorgeous locations you could take full advantage of without breaking the bank.
I love nature but I am not one who likes the close encounters with bugs and I even enjoy camping.
You get to see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets and if you want to be near some sort of civilization, you can stay on a campground and the costs are pretty minimal.
Trust me if you want to get away and enjoy it, these two options could really be your answer.
Any time you can get a deal on something, why not go for it and think of how much you and your family will enjoy the time away from home!
