Affordable summer vacation ideas from Y P A R T N E R S H I P

05-14-2009

Especially useful to those harder hit by the economy

 

1)Rather than stay in a pricey hotel, rent a vacation home. More bedrooms/bathrooms and living space, plus fully-equipped kitchens save dining out costs, often for the equivalent nightly rate of a single hotel room.  Check out TripAdvisor.com’s vacation rental home vs. hotel calculator to see a family of 4’s savings or visit http://www.DiscoverVacationHomes.com for listings of condos and homes in your vacation destination of choice.

 

2)Visit destinations less traveled. Due to the hard hit automotive industry, Michigan’s “up north” vacation wonderland resorts along the Great (and smaller) Lakes are pricing themselves to accommodate much tighter budgets this spring and summer. Prime example of a resort that offers something for the whole family, Grand Traverse Resort & Spa. Visit http://www.GrandTraverseResort.com.

 

3)Take a “Nakation,” that’s a naked vacation according to the American Association For Nude Recreation (http://www.AANR.com). Save on resort wear and checked luggage charges; and AANR member resorts are priced so even those  who’ve lost the shirt off their backs in the market can enjoy. Planning a “staycation?” Locate one of over 100 venues  participating in the The Guinness World Records™ Organization‘s “AANR Largest Skinny-Dip Across North America,”  July 11th, 3pm Eastern Nudist Time.

 

4)Spend a weekend at a traditional business class hotel, in particular, one of the new mid-priced boutique hotels. Serving business travelers throughout the week, a new breed of boutique hotels, such as NYLO Hotels, offers guests lively restaurants/bars, free Wi-Fi, allergy-friendly guestrooms expansive courtyards and terraces, outdoor bars, pools and fireplaces with weekend rates as low as $79 per night.
