  When going on a vacation or business trip, you want to get the best prices on your plane trip, cruise, car rental or hotel stay. As a result, you site at your trusty computer and ponder how to get travel information so that the very lowest price could be obtained. So, the question is how do you get a great deal while making your vacation or business travel more fun and less stressful. We have some ideas. It doesn't matter whether you are in the market for a cruise or a hotel or travel, go to at least two online travel sites (and more the better) to see what is being offered. We're often asked about when is the best time to get a low fares on that vacation, holiday or business trip or on travel. Unfortunately there is no one answer fits all. Sometimes a hotel will offer a super low price and then up the rate with passing time. Other times, a last minute booking is the ticket. With no way of knowing whether there will ever be a cheaper price, look for a price that you think is a good one and book itinerary. Hitting the low price is like trying to 'buy low' on the stock exchange. Once purchased, spend the time 'worrying' about how to have a great time. The web is most likely your best place to find your lowest price on travel and the offers surrounding this should be checked-out. Do you wish you could travel outside the country, but it just isn't possible. Here are some thoughts on making the most of a shorter, closer, vacation whether you are interested in travel or another destination. Here are some ideas. Plan ahead. Keep track of vacation days and ask for time off as soon as you know when you want to go away. Stretch that weekend by taking an extra day or two off. If Monday is a holiday, try to skip Friday so you have a four-day weekend. Book a 'red-eye' (overnight flight) and get back to work Monday morning. Beat the traffic by getting away late Thursday and you will have an extra day and less driving stress as you indulge in travel or elsewhere. Now that you have some vacation time, how about saving some money on that trip?

Here are some other ideas: Sign up for promotions at web sites listed here. Contact: (a) visitor centers; (b) tourism boards; and, (c) chambers of commerce for any discount coupons they provide. Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure there are no hidden costs and that the price you're paying includes air taxes, fees and fuel surcharges (often listed in miniscule print). Most important whether it relates to travel or anywhere/anything else - HAVE FUN.
