Wealthy Travelers

Everyone these days has a tight budget.  So to help you gain a bit of wiggle room, we will highlight some of the cheapest vacation destinations available.  First, what kind of vacation do you want?  A relaxing one on a beach with the relaxing waves coming to shore?  Or would you prefer to visit a city bustling with activities, with plenty of museums and historical sites to explore?  Or do you want an outdoors adventure that will take you to the heart of nature?  Once you’ve decided on what interests you, it makes it easier to plan a destination.

If you choose to fly, consider destinations that the airlines might offer discounts for on your tickets.  If you decide to drive, you might consider a place near your home, or choose a destination where they offer discounts on your lodging.  An inexpensive travel club membership would be a great way ahead of time to find those destinations and get the lodging discounts. 

Let’s look at some of the cheapest vacation destinations available.

• Phoenix:  Airfares, car rentals and lodging have been, and remain some of the best for discounts.  There is much to do in Phoenix whether you’re a golfer, a shopper or enjoy outdoor activities of any kind.
• Washington, D.C.:  If you want to explore history, museums and monuments, this is the destination for you!  This destination gives you all of this in a concentrated area with the added bonus that most are free of charge or have a nominal fee.
• London:  Since London is the most popular destination over other European sites, it has the least expensive airfare.  London also has a wide variety of dining and lodging options to make it a lot more affordable.  Then you’ll be able to enjoy the sites that much more.
• Mexico:  If you love the beach for a relaxing vacation, then this is one of the best destinations for you.  Check out resorts that offer All-Inclusive packages, since in the long run, you’ll be saving money by buying a package that includes all meals, all drinks, and depending on the resort, some activities.
• Las Vegas:  If you want bling, glitz and action, this is the ultimate destination for you.  Gaming, shows, shopping and activities, (even for the kids!) are all available here.  And the best part, because the economy is down, there are less tourists visiting Las Vegas, allowing the hotels and resorts to offer great discounts and perks on your lodging.

So start planning your vacation!
