Budget Travel? Not an Oxymoron

Traveling on a budget usually gets a bad rap. When people hear the words “travel” and “budget” sandwiched next to each other, their minds immediately flash to eating potato chips and gas station hot dogs for dinner, staying at a hotel that looks like it’s straight out of Hitchcock’s Psycho and watching other tourists partake in exciting tasks like helicopter tours and zip lining. Sure, that might be the portrayal of traveling on a budget, but it definitely doesn’t have to be the reality. There are ways to be budget savvy and still travel like a high rolling pro, to an extent, of course! Check out these tips for how to have an amazing trip without running your bank account clear into the ground. Home Swaps Why pay for lodging when you could just have it for free?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine. Branson Missouri seems to be hot place for vacationing these days, especially for Valentines Day. Maybe being located in the heart of the Ozark Mountains has something to do with Branson’s popularity in general. Perhaps featuring modern day entertainment in conjunction with the serenity of an Ozark Mountain setting makes a Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing Valentines Day ultimate getaway location. The Romance Package includes special touches such as complimentary sparkling wine or cider upon arrival in room, breakfast for two served in room, along with full use of the health club, pool and whirlpool spa. Imagine having the choice of a standard king size hotel room, hotel suite, or better yet a one bedroom cabin in a hotel ranked 16th among all overnight leisure vacation destinations in the country. Is this not the vision of a true “do not disturb”...

In a recent survey commissioned by the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau, kids were asked about their favorite part of family vacations. Here’s what they said: * going to new places (27%) * spending more time with parents (18%) * staying in a hotel (14%) * playing in a swimming pool (11%) * not going to school (11%) Moms surveyed said that they want to take the kids on a nice vacation to: * provide new experiences (79%) * relax and have fun (66%) * get away from the stress of work, school and home (63%) * spend one-on-one time with them (44%) Grand sights or theme parks are only part of the vacation experience. As this survey shows, what happens around the main events is often the stuff of the best family memories. For a trip that gives kids and parents happy memories, get everyone in on the planning and keep these tips in mind. Recommend on...

On Lake Taneycomo in Missouri, the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing hotel is located in the new Branson Landing shopping and entertainment district. This luxury hotel boasts 242 spectacular guest rooms, suites, and condos with unparalleled views of Lake Taneycomo. Located in Branson Landing, it is ideal for a girl’s weekend shopping excursion (Martinis and relaxing poolside – I’m just sayin’….). In my opinion, the Shopping Package deal currently offered would be an exciting activity. The package includes Deluxe Accommodations, a Breakfast buffet for 2, and a $25 gift card that is redeemable at any store in the Tanger Outlet Mall, which is located only 3 miles outside the hotel. This offer is currently valid until the end of 2010.
