Deals on family vacations

School’s almost out for the summer—which means you are going to have to figure out something to entertain your kids for 3 months (perhaps while harboring secret resentment towards their summer full of uninterrupted bliss and free time). While I have discovered that no martini buzz can quite recapture the feeling of that last day of school, booking a family vacation this summer is probably the best way to pretend like you are on vacation with your kids. (Well, maybe not, but a summer vacation could still be totally great). Southwest Airlines Vacations Family Destinations

Lucky for those keeping a tight watch on family budgets this year, travel is actually a whole lot cheaper this summer than last. As it turns out crashing stock markets and crumbling economies have been bad for the travel industry, which has ultimately been good for the consumer. In fact, right now is a great time to find discount hotels and cheap airline tickets to just about anywhere. Not so bad. I mean, if you are going to have to work an extra 5 years to re-fill that 401k, at least you can go on a cheap vacation, right?

Cruises just keep getting cheaper

Anyone who has been up on any travel news lately knows that the industry as a whole is hurting and as a result, we’ve been seeing some pretty incredible travel deals lately. There are certain segments of the travel industry that are hurting more than others—the Cruise industry being one of them. In fact, cruises all year have been hitting lower and lower prices to encourage travelers to hop on board. Since, cruising low season is summer, the change in season plus the bad economy have made for some truly ridiculous offers on cruises.

Cheap Disney Vacation Packages

Get $240 cash back when you book Carnival cruise

Miss Julie — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 05:00:06 +0000

I have always been a bit of a procrastinator. I always manage to get things done on time (or just in the knick of time), but I do have a tendency to wait until the last minute to do a lot of things—my taxes, packing for a trip, writing a paper, booking summer travel plans. Much to the dismay of my mother (who likes to do everything way in advance), my strategy of procrastination always worked for me. I always got the paper in on time, the bag packed before the flight, taxes filed before midnight and great last minute travel plans. However, if you are more like my mother and less like me and are already prepared to make fall and travel plans, this amazing deal for $240 cash back when you book a Carnival Cruise is probably the way to go. Get Extra Savings and Extra Cash at Carnival! Book now and getup to $240 Cash Back!

Travel is a hell of lot cheaper this summer than it has been in years—leaving you little excuse not to take advantage of all the great deals on cheap airfare and discounts at cheap hotels.

Daily deals great for finding cheap vacation packages

Miss Julie — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:00:25 +0000

I have found that I may actually be getting spoiled by this economic slow down. Yes, you read that right, spoiled by the bad economy. But when it comes to travel, the recession has just made hitting the road cheaper and cheaper. I have been consistently surprised at just how good some of the deals have gotten and with a little flexibility you can also score a great deal on all kinds of vacation packages. Checking many travel sites for their featured or daily deals can be a great way to do just that and Cheap Caribbean has consistently been rolling out some amazing deals with their daily deals updates.

Between the bad economy, the recent swine flu scare and drug battles happening in many of the border towns, Mexico’s tourism industry has surely taken many hard blows this past year. But with a health clearing and so many beautiful beaches, it may be hard to resist heading to Mexico this summer. Especially with some deals that just seem too be true, it just makes financial sense to go on vacation. Right? Right.

Keeping flexibility at a maximum is usually the best way to get the absolute best deal on cheap flights and the even bigger discounts on cheap hotels.

As it turns out the recession paired with the recent drug wars and swine flu freak out has dealt some hard blows to Mexico’s tourism industry. In fact, many of the resorts that were already having trouble filling their hotels with guests due to the poor economy are now having an even harder time coaxing people to come to Mexico. This is all good news for bargain hunters out there like me, who are now seeing huge discounts on flights, vacation packages and hotels in Mexico right now.

Super hot deals on cruises

Miss Julie — Tue, 19 May 2009 00:38:26 +0000

I’ll admit that I have never been a huge fan of cruises. I am a huge fan of cheap vacations, inexpensive travel opportunities and all-you-can-eat buffets, however, which is what drew me to some of the fantastic deals that can found on Carnival cruise ships right now. A 4 day vacation for less than $300? I just might be able to swallow my distaste for cruises at those prices. Plus, I’m pretty sure I could drink enough pina coladas alone to make that price worth it. 3,4 and 5 day Carnival Cruises from $249

Since most cruises depart from somewhere in Florida (at least the Caribbean ones), those looking to take advantage of these cruise deals may also be on the lookout for cheap airline tickets to Orlando or a great deal on hotels in Miami. Luckily, with travel bargains aplenty these days, you shouldn’t have too much making the whole cruise cost a whole lot less than you thought possible. Or, if you are like me, you’ll just find a way to eat and drink as much as possible to make sure you’re getting every pennies worth.
