Reducing travel expenses....a primer....

BS: Why the 'performance art' here? It did wonders for Yoko, didn't it?

Besides, real life stoopid is funnier than anything you can make up...

I dont understand.

Nothing like being commited, huh?

They say no matter how bad you suck, as long as you stay commited, the performace will go over.

I think 'they' were wrong.

OH yes, having friends/familly near parks is VERY helpful. At least you can use it as an excuse to visit them. ;-)

Motel 6 (most of the time anyway), Cheaptickets, and fast food places that have coupons to their local parks (that you don't have a season pass for) are also ideal.

I camped for the first time in like 10 years last fall near SFWOA and saved a bundle and had a blast, and now that I have the "proper" camping equipment I am going to do that more often.

(who is finally going to do the AAA thing next year)

Am I included in your camping equipment, Tina? ;)

Absolutely, as long as you are waterproof, rugged, easy to assemble, and weather resistant. ;-)

How easy are you to pitch up? That's always improtant. :-)

I cannot believe you just said that, though I am, after all, Ultra Skin! ;)

Just add water, and say Nasai.

Just water? Sweet!

Now I won't have to pack extra batteries or worry about finding a site with an electrical outlet. ;-)

Cool! Talk about roughing it!

I'm just finding it "hard" to believe that these are Tina's posts "post-edits"....;)

LOL! LOL!

Well, I keep forgetting this is an all ages forum. ;-)

Na, it's just spelling corrections...really. ;-)

-Tina

ALL ages?!?! That means the infants who surf buzz really SHOULD wait until they're 13, but we KNOW better...;) That was a COOL 'shop job!

bill, 17 going on 37, and NOT old enough to read between the lines of Tina's posts...

Anyone who frequents Southwest can save up towards a free trip in no time. I will probably fly once this year, and may get a free flight. Signing up for Southwest Rapid Rewards gets you 2 points, 4 if you are a collge student. Then after, each round booked online will get you 3 points. Every stay at a Choice Hotel will get you .5 points. Certain car rentals and other things will get you .5 points. Using American Express, 1250 Membership Rewards points gets you 1 point. 16 points gets you a free round trip anywhere Southwest flies! Very easy to get a free trip!

Tina, I am sooooo shocked.

-Jim, who can't think of anything to match that little exchange of words lol

Me neither Jim, and all this time I thought Bill was 37 and NOT 17!!!!!!!!

A good website that my family always uses is http://www.bestfares.com. Its flight search enginge has a nice feature that shows you alternative cities that are nearby your destination and have much lower flight prices. For example, this year I took a trip to CP and put Cleveland as my arrival city, but the search engine came up with a flight to Akron, which is about 20 minutes farther away from CP, for 50$ less. The site also has a section dedicated to amazing last mintue deals such as 200$ round trip to anywhere in Europe! If you become a member, which I'm pretty sure is free, you can recieve even better deals and a monthly magazine with tons of travel information.
