Fun, Different Ways Families Can Save When Traveling

Three Tips for Saving on Family Travel

* Visit friends and relatives who have big houses and/or can put you up. Save on hotel bills that way.

* Swap houses with another family in another part of the country. There are agencies who will facilitate this, or just put the word of mouth out there through your local grapevine. Save big time this way and see the world.

* Book a hotel room on the club floor of a hotel. These floors offer complimentary breakfasts, h’ors duerves, tea and happy hour — all of which are great for your kids to munch on throughout the day. Save big on restaurant bills.
