Most of us think we need to spend a lot of money to have a memorable family vacation, but that just isn't true. You can take the whole family on the vacation of a lifetime for a price that won't haunt you months and years later.

Helpful hints for finding the lowest prices:
  1. Whenever possible, book hotels and plane tickets online. The general rule is that talk isn't cheap. Employee time costs a lot, and companies save money when you place an order over their website instead of talking to a person. They usually pass these savings to you when you order online.

  2. Hotels: You can easily save 20-30% booking your hotel online. Try websites like Hotwire.com, Expedia.com, or even Priceline.com. If you're willing to be flexible, you can save a great deal of money.

  3. Flights: You can usually get a better price if you take the time to book your flight using internet sites like Expedia.com, and Travelocity.com. Travelocity offers a FareWatcher service that will email you when prices for your route change. You may also want to book a flight using you favorite airline's website. Once again, if you'll agree to be a little flexible as to which flight you'll take, you can save quite a bit of cash.

  4. Can you drive to your destination? If so, consider taking the most fuel-efficient car you own. This usually means taking your smallest car, so try to pack light.

  5. Buses and Trains: If you take a bus or train to your destination, but you may save money but you'll lose quite a bit of time. Buses and trains make a lot of stops, and you'll never be working on your own schedule.

    Before making plans to travel this way, be sure to check the reservations to find out how much time you'll lose and whether the trip will actually be cheaper. Believe it or not, sometimes a train will be more expensive than driving! Also, there are simply some places you can't go via train, and going a roundabout way could add many hours to your trip. On the other hand, you can sleep on your trip. Sometimes you can even travel at night and wake up at your destination -- talk about relaxing!
