Romantic Vacations That Won't Kill your Budget
Romantic Vacations That Won't Kill your Budget By - Allison Boyer
Post comments | Read comments http://www.dailyg2.com/G2/archives/L...d=504#Comments The end of the summer is quickly approaching, so if you and your sweetheart haven't gone on vacation yet, time is running out. Yes, vacations are expensive. Yes, they take a lot of planning. Three words: Suck it up. Trust me, it will be worth it in the end when you only take a break for some summer lovin' to watch scantily-clad women do the hula and drinking pina coladas from coconuts. And hey, you next trip doesn't have to totally trash your bank account. Check out these top five tips for romantic vacations on a budget. Go to an all-inclusive resort. The prices of these places may at first have you gasping for air, but remember-they include all of your food, drinks, and activities. Most of the time, it's much, much cheaper to head to an all-inclusive, and the added bonus is that you can get it on without worrying about money the whole time. Wait until September. If there's no rush, wait the extra month and you'll find cheaper rates and less-crowded destinations if you save the vacation for the fall. Aruba will still be sunny and warm, so what does it really matter? You can use the charts at online sites like Travelocity to see when you can expect the cheapest dates. Just say no to direct flights. Sure, two or three layovers can be a pain in the behind, but you'll save a bundle of money. Besides, that means you can secure you membership in the mile-high club two or three times as well. Stop nickel-and-diming yourself. A dollar here at the airport food court and there at the gift shop may not seem like much at the time, but over the course of an entire vacation, those dollars really add up. Instead, save your money for really romantic gestures. Order breakfast in bed. Go on a moonlight carriage or boat ride. Have a picnic dinner on the beach. Crack open a bottle of bubbly. If you're going to spend money, do it on the important things. Splurge on a classy room for a long weekend instead of a dumpy room for a week. Go somewhere within a few hours of your home, turn off the cell phones, and buy something slinky and sexy for your wife or girlfriend to wear. Spend the weekend getting to know one another and forget completely the seven days of tourist traps. |
