Here's a really simple way to save on beach vacation travel. We
are going to show you 3 ways to save you some bucks when booking
your next beach vacation. The beach is an incredible experience.
No matter whether you've traveled to far western Australia or
taken a quick weekend trip to the Jersey Shore, barring rain,
the beach is usually a really enjoyable experience. We've taken
trips all over the world we've missed giant opportunities of
money savings that were seemingly all around us if we had just
taken the time to do a little extra research. Well, you are in
luck. The travel research has been done for you, all you have to
do is be willing to keep reading. Before you know it, you'll be
taking the beach vacation of your life, for a steeply discounted
price. Here we go:
1)Buy it used. Well, not really used: more like discounted (or
unused actually). Sometimes, people can put their vacation
opportunities up at real discounts. Did you know that there are
all sorts of people out there who own time shares but can't use
them for various reasons? Maybe the season isn't right, or they
can't seem to get the flight that they need. Ebay has a thriving
market for timeshare opportunities. A lot of the listings are
permanent (e.g. people looking for others to buy their times
shares out completely), but sometimes people are just looking to
monetize a weeks worth of timeshare that they can't seem to use
themselves. Their loss can be your opportunity. Ebay is an
auction, and the highest price wins usually. 2) Compare
everything. Guess what? Expedia and Orbitz seem like they are
juggernauts of internet travel and they control a lot of the
market. BUT, they don't have every vendor available. A lot of
the discount airlines like SouthWest and JetBlue don't use
either of these massive companies and you can only get their
deals by going directly to their website. Don't' tell anyone,
but from what we've heard JetBlue is supposed to have really
nice seats and monitors on new planes with really good prices.
We haven't used JetBlue ourselves yet, but it's supposed be
really good (especially at delivering good value on Northeast to
Florida routes). That tip alone could save you some bucks while
getting you a really nice flight.
3)The first 2 points are perfectly valid in any trip planning
but almost worthless when you consider that you might have to
shell out a lot more bucks for destinations abroad. There is a
beautiful beach state located not too far from anyone East of
the Mississippi. That's right. Florida. Florida is back and it's
beaches are still fantastic. Florida is still beautiful. There
has been a lot of development of Florida during the last 50
years, but Florida is still a massive state with plenty of
undiscovered beaches. The state of Florida can be great if you
know where to look. It's pretty nice. Trust us....the
undiscovered spots of Florida can really be something else.
However, they are becoming more and more difficult to find as
thousands of people move to Florida every month.
