Cheap Vacation Ideas

Vacations are great. For Canadians, with our long, cold winters, we usually want to take time out to bask in the warm summer sun. That also means most things will cost more in the summer (like air flights, gas, and hotel rooms) than in the off-season. It also means more crowds and that can mean less fun than you'd hoped for-long lines, sell outs, and scalper prices on just about everything. So, you might want to find a few cheap and local ways to spend your holidays.On a hot day in July, an air-conditioned library might be the perfect way to spend the day. Go to story time, even if you don't have kids. Listening to stories is an ancient tradition in almost every culture. Doesn't happen in your library? Start a story time-pick a popular book and read one chapter every week. Your library will love you-and they'll know how to advertise the event. You'll be astounded at how many people will come out-and maybe share in the reading.Head to the park. Parks have got to be one of the best inventions around. They almost always have grass, trees, walking paths, swings, sometimes water and birds, and picnic tables. Some even have BBQs (okay, okay, maybe not the best ones). But they can usually cook up a hotdog or marshmallow-enough to keep most of us full and happy on a hot August afternoon.Go to the beach. Even if it's quite a drive, just start out early. Pack up tons of food-beaches are synonymous with starvation-and don't forget the sunscreen. Fluids are another must-freeze your drinks the night before so they'll stay cold all day long.Take a city bus tour. These trips can sometimes be pricey, but if you can afford it, it's a great way to learn new and exciting things about where you live. If you don't have a bus tour in your town, think about going to the library and finding out things about where you live. When you know enough, you can organize a walking tour or a tour using your public transit system. Once again, the library will help you out, and it's a great way to build community.Have a night out under the stars. Even if you don't have any camping gear, you can take old sheets, covers and pillows outside, and lay down to watch the stars at night. Spend some time trying to identify constellations or count shooting stars. Once the kids fall asleep, sneak them back into their own beds.Holidays don't have to be expensive. In fact, sometimes the best ones are just being with your family and friends.
