Vacation on a Budget

Planning a vacation has the potential to be both exciting and stressful. For most Americans, factoring in things like time away from work, the amount of money that can be spent and the logistics of getting from point A to point B can be reasons enough to just throw in the towel and put that dream trip off until a "better time". But what if I told you that planning a trip doesn't have to be as big of a financial nightmare as you might think. Today, there are a wide variety of locales and vacation hotspots that come equipped with lavish and luxurious commodities all the while keeping in line with your tight budget. Below is a list of the best vacation spots for those of us with a strict income.

One of the best vacations can be a lot closer than you think. Traditionally, vacations have been synonymous with traveling abroad or boarding a plane to a foreign country. Lurking just under your noses are hundreds of interesting vacation destinations here in the United States, many of which could be hiding right under your nose.

San Francisco has long been heralded as one of the most unique cities in the United States. With its rich mix of culture and architecture, there is literally something to do here for everyone. While some say it is an expensive city to visit, there are quite a few options for lodging and eating that can accommodate travelers wishing to save a little bit of money. Instead of staying right down in the heart of the city, consider staying a cheaper suburb like Marin County. Marin County has a lot of great priced hotels and restaurants that have largely gone undiscovered. Getting into the city is as easy as taking a cheap ferry across the bay. Not only is the trip quite inexpensive, the quick cruise over is a great way to see the city and the ocean from a non-traditional vantage point. Other great money saving destinations in the city include the local zoo as well as the famous Golden Gate Park.

If you and your family are hankering for a cheap way to fly overseas, consider a destination that is not traditionally thought of for vacationing. Most people traveling over to Europe visit London or Paris, but another great European destination that generally gets skipped over is the country of Ireland. Getting a cheap flight over to Ireland is generally not that hard to manage. While an overseas flight will always run you a little more money than a domestic flight, booking in advanced can alleviate some of these strains. The city of Shannon is full of vibrant culture and wonderful sights to keep any member of the family captivated and entertained. From the breathe taking Cliffs of Moher to the Dingle Peninsula, the landscape of Ireland is one that is truly unlike nothing you have ever seen.

If you are instead hankering for something a little more rustic, consider taking a vacation to a quieter resort. There are many resorts in the United States that offer five star service at a one star price. One such resort is Thousand Hills Resort in Branson Missouri. Just minutes away from downtown Branson which has been heralded as the Las Vegas of the Midwest. A stay at this resort will give you the chance to experience the thrill of staying in a old fashioned style cabin, experience some great cuisine and also allowing you to visit some of the great nearby destinations like the International Tiger Sanctuary or the exotic Butterfly Palace, all of which are surprisingly inexpensive.

Vacation doesn't have to equal spendy. Put some time into researching the best bang for your buck and your future memories will be sure to thank you.
