American
is one of the most amazing and beautiful countries in the world. The song “America the
Beautiful” could not be more accurate. It truly has purple mountains of
majesties, amber waves of grain and of course spacious skies that have some of
the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. If you live in America you
have probably dreamed about going on a long road trip and seeing all the sites
and national parks. If you don’t live in
the states then you have probably thought about visiting the great country
sometime during your life. However, as we all know too well that regardless
where you live traveling can be very expensive. This puts a damper on all our
dreams of seeing this great country and other sites. Do not fear though there
are plenty of tricks to travel cheap and still have the time of your life.
Trains
That’s
right! You can travel America
like the good ole days! There are many train vacations that will take you
where you want to go. You don’t have to worry about gas, traffic, accidents and
get great scenery the entire time. Most trains are pretty well equipped
nowadays with Wi-Fi and other fun things to make your trip more enjoyable. This
is a great idea if you want to go coast to coast and have all the time in the
world.
Travel Deals
You
can’t watch television for five minutes without seeing or hearing a commercial
for some kind of travel site. There is a reason for it though and it’s because
they work! You can get some amazing deals on hotels or airfare with some of
these sites. Some even offer week long trips with airfare for some amazing
prices. The only downfall to it is that they have very specific dates and
sometimes won’t work with your schedule.
Road Trip
Just
like the good ole days with Mom and Dad you can load you and your family into a
car and set off for the wide open road. In most cases it is still cheaper to
drive places than flying everywhere. Surely, sometimes you feel trapped like a
rat, and feel like you are never going to get there but if planned well you can
have the time of your life. Make sure that you stop at plenty of site seeing
places to break up the day and have some fun. Even if they are dinky little tourist
traps you can still have fun with them and make some pretty unforgettable
moments.
Guided Tours
There
are plenty of groups out there that offer guided tours of just about anything
and everything. Most of the time they are pretty affordable and you get to
learn about all the historical markers and events that happened in some areas.
If you are a big history buff then this would the perfect trip for you! If you
are serious into looking at one of these you might want to make sure you do
your research on the tour guide and maybe meet them first so you’ll know if you
will like them or not.
