Planning Your Next Weekend Getaway

Posted by By Melanie Breeze on: 2005-06-20 19:20:20


Are you working too much? If you are stressed out and in need of some rest and relaxation, consider a weekend getaway. A two day trip to somewhere close can be a great way to recoup and connect with your spouse or loved ones. If you are on a budget, have no fear, with a little bit of planning you can get away for much less than you think.

One of the most expensive parts of any trip is the hotel room. A good hotel will cost you hundreds a night, while a good motel will run you around $60 a night. For the best deal, try using a website like priceline.com. You can get some really great deals, which can make your trip more affordable. My last weekend getaway, we stayed in a 4 star hotel for under $50 dollars a night! What a great deal! You can also name your own price for a car rental or airline trip, so you can go almost anywhere your heart desires.

Once you have the room, you need to get the travel gear. You will need luggage, and of course a few new outfits. My favorite site for travel gear is couponchief.com. They are free to use and give you coupon codes for a huge assortment of websites. I was able to save almost 50% on my new luggage set, and got a few new outfits for a cheap price. A weekend trip away won’t require a lot of luggage; one or two small inexpensive pieces should do just fine. It took only minutes to find the items I wanted, and they even had it shipped free to my doorstep.

Dining may be another concern for the couple on a budget. Consider buying lunch meat and bread, or donuts for quick and easy meals on the go. You will have more energy during the day, and be able to save your money for dinner. So, go ahead and order that steak, you can afford it!

Weekend trips are a lot of fun. You will come back refreshed and ready to face the world again. With a little bit of planning you can get away for a few hundreds dollars, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
