I know some of you may be thinking about a vacation when the tax return comes in, so I was thrilled when Kendra offered BTHM a wonderful article on ideas to save money, but get a great vacation! Ready on for some great tips!
Tax time brings a great deal of stress. If you have come out a little on top in the tax game, maybe you should reward yourself and your family with a spring vacation in Hawaii. A trip to Maui needn’t be expensive. You can utilize your vacation funds wisely with just a few smart tips and Hawaii is a place my husband and I absolutely adore. When thinking about Spring Break, keep in mind there is no need to travel outside the U.S. when you can find these cheaper, tropical getaways without having to pack up the kids and traveling too far.
Look For Airline Specials
Sign up for email specials for airlines that travel to Maui. Many airlines allow you to designate the routes you intend to fly and will alert you when special flight prices are available. Try to be flexible in your travel dates. Flights can be significantly cheaper if you’re willing to travel on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Work your travel days around any holidays that may fall during spring break to get the best prices.
Find An Airline + Hotel + Car Package
Travel sites generally offer package rates when you book several travel items together. These packages can save you a significant amount of money. Make sure the hotel that is offered is located convenient to beaches and attraction you intend to visit. Sift through hotel getaways in Maui and find what will work best for you and your family be it a rental, a room on the ocean or maybe one with a resort and spa treatment offering.
Consider a Condominium Rental
Travelers can find many condominiums available for rental. These units are often in areas that are convenient to beaches, shopping venues and tourist attractions.A condominium generally has more space for active families, with fully equipped kitchens that can help you save money on meals. Condominiums may also have amenities that can make your stay more comfortable and convenient, such as swimming pools, patios, barbecues and laundry equipment.
Picnic or Barbecue Instead of Dining Out
You can save money on dining while on vacation by packing food for a picnic or barbecuing on the beach or in park areas. Many supermarkets on Maui have prepared foods that make outdoor eating inexpensive and convenient. Purchase disposable plates and utensils, and you have a wonderful outdoor experience with your family.
Look For Coupons on Attractions
Research the attractions you intend to visit before your trip. Many places offer online discounts that can save money. Check schedules to see if the attraction has a “family discount day” or other specials.
I hope these money saving tips help you and your family this time of the year and it’s always good to stay savvy when traveling! Enjoy!
