Budget Vacation

With today's depressed financial climate, with over-the-roof fuel prices and unbelievable

expenses of daily living, traveling has become one of the top casualties of the yearly budget. However, with such a distressing and demanding environment, traveling has also become an indispensable part of keeping a healthy work-to-life balance and maintaining one's sanity.

Studies have shown that people can tolerate only a certain amount of enduring pressure, pain and anxiety from the stress of daily living. As such, the doctor's dictum of "taking a few days off" is not just a clich to overstressed workers: it's a very physical fact with concrete roots in science and medicine.

So to prevent overspending, here are some helpful tips you can pack in your bag so you can enjoy the benefits of a relaxing vacation while saving money.

TAKE A HIKE. Walking is a pleasurable activity we miss in everyday life. In our daily routine, it is just a means to get from one task to another. A vacation, however, brings out an entirely different side of this otherwise ordinary activity. You not only get to see the sights and sounds rather than speeding by them: it is both beneficial for your wallet and your health. By walking, you can avoid the overly-priced transport fares given to tourists, and it lets you exercise those muscles, catch a bit of sunshine, and be "on the ground" with the very place you're visiting, rather than staring out the tour bus window.

USE THE HOTEL WISELY. Although the main point of going on a vacation is allowing your mind to rest while checking beautiful sites, enjoying the benefits of your accommodation by staying in place doesn't hurt also. For example, if you're a parent who travels with kids, remember that kids love playing in the water and hotels have the best swimming pools so take advantage of that. Getting sandy at the beach or visiting a nearby museum would also be a cheap way to enjoy the getaway.

BOOK EARLY. Reserving your plane tickets and accommodation months before your scheduled trip can help you save. Airlines and hotels offer discounts and great deal to customers who book ahead of time and online. Many companies offer irresistible promos for early bird customers so grab this opportunity and plan ahead..

BENEFITS OF BOTTLED WATER. This might not be the first time to hear but carrying your own supply of water is one of the best travel tips applicable in all types of vacation. Having your own bottled water saves you from spending dollars by refilling it at the hotel before you leave or at different fountain stations. Moreover, it prevents you from getting water-borne diseases especially when traveling outside the US.

These are just some of the tips you can take with you in your next holiday, so you can save up while cooling down. Although some might be common, don't take those tips for granted because you'll never know when you'll need them.
