Cheap Family Vacations: Myth or Reality in Today's Economy?

Cheap Family Vacations: Myth or Reality in Today’s Economy?

Here’s earth-shattering news…cheap family vacations are what families like yours are frantically looking for. In today’s economy you just can’t afford to be putting your family in severe debt just to afford a decent vacation.

You’ve probably even had wild thoughts about buying a timeshare. This is a huge commitment that a lot of timeshare owners later regret after knowing that there are more affordable timeshare alternatives.

With the costs of timeshares remaining steady as maintenance fees go up it just doesn’t make financial sense to bury your family in this kind of debt…especially if you don’t have to.

In the past, the choices for cheap family vacations were severely limited. It was usually deciding upon a low grade hotel room and a motel room with really no difference in between the two. Sometimes taking budget family vacations meant being un-welcomed guests in one of your relative’s homes.

What’s the point of being miserable on vacation because your family is cramped into a small hotel room or worse yet a tiny motel room? And staying with relatives all the time when you go on vacation is a good way to wear out the welcome mat real fast.

Is this what you really call a vacation? Unfortunately for most families this is what budget family vacations looked like.

And for those families who don’t know the “secret” that thousands of die-hard travelers have turned to for decades, it just may be the way your next vacation may turn out to be…until today.

This is the day that you learn that you can absolutely take cheap family vacations and stay at luxury resorts without putting your family on the path to financial suicide.

There’s nothing worse than being on vacation but not have it feel like you’re on vacation. That is the …

People travel specifically because they want to enjoy a rather relaxed time from their daily lives. But with the inconvenience of making travel plans and planning your trip from start to finish might be a bit of a hassle. Thankfully, there is a travel tour that does that for us which also includes a tour to take you to your destination without all the fuss and noise.

Global travel is provided by various local and international travel companies to provide high value vacations to suit your needs. Like travel tours, packages are equipped with all the necessary information you need from a complete itinerary to the hotel or hotel where you will stay during your trip.

But the most important thing to note is being cost efficient and maximizing your stay time at the destination. Because they have prepared travel plans even before your trip, the arrival and departure times for these destinations are carefully planned to give you enough time to study and see more places.

Canopies And Tents – Great Outdoor Accessories

Spending time outdoors can be a very enjoyable experience but having the relevant equipment can sometimes enhance the experience and make things a lot more convenient. You may be spending the day at home in your garden, enjoying the day lake side, attending a festival or camping for the weekend. Having the use of the right equipment can take the experience to the next level.

At this point canopies and tents can become very useful assets. For outdoor recreation a canopy tent of portable a size would be desired so as it is easily transportable to your desired location but large enough to provide adequate shelter. With these products being portable by nature it allows them to be multifunctional and used across a wide range of activities, events and locations. There are a great number of uses for them in areas such as leisure and recreation, home and garden and business and commercial too. Another way a canopy tent can be used is as a permanent shelter at your residence as perhaps a pool side shelter, a garden accessory or sometime as vehicle protection.

Most of the quality canopies and tents are manufactured by people with years of experience in the industry.

Outdoor Recreation in a Recession

Outdoor Recreation in a Recession

Times are tough. I know it… you know it… everyone knows it. Many people are no longer able or wanting to spend the big bucks that some outdoor sports require. Boating for example can be a very expensive outdoor recreational activity. Gas prices have sky-rocketed and storage fees are high. Fun and carefree days out on the motorboat are no longer a stress-free activity.

Outdoor recreation should not only be enjoyed by everyone but it should also cost very little if any money as well as be completely stress and worry free. There are enough things to be concerned with without having to worry about not being able to enjoy the great outdoors with our family and friends.

Luckily there are several fantastic activities that cost very little money, if any at all. The outdoor recreation activities below can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Frisbee at the park Hiking in the trails – if you have kids with you it can be really fun to do a treasure hunt (with a little pre-planning) Geo-caching Riding bikes Badminton Basketball or volleyball games

All of the above activities are freebies… meaning you don’t need to spend money to be able to enjoy them. One of my personal favorite all time outdoor activities happens to be kayaking. It can cost money to purchase a kayak of course or even to rent a kayak. If you are used to boating though I guarantee you the costs are minimal compared to running a gas-guzzling motorboat.

Kayaks are self-powered and eco-friendly. They do no harm to the environment and allow for some excellent exercise. I love the inflatable kayaks as they can be easily transported and taken anywhere.

In my opinion the days of big gas powered boats are numbered. The costs to run …
