You have so much to think about when you are planning for a vacation from the reservation of the airline tickets, the itinerary and even car rental that the hotel reservation is often overlooked making people pay more than necessary. You can find great hotel deals and save precious dollars if you just know how.
Because there is an abundance of travel sites on the net, many would not know where to start their search for hotel deals. Also, there is a misconception among many that these travel sites offer the same hotel deals which is totally wrong. You will find that such travel sites can offer various rates for the same hotel. You can start your search and price rate comparisons on the many available travel sites you can find online. You can always filter and narrow down your search to cheap hotels should you wish to.
Take the time as well to visit the hotel’s website to check out if there are offerings of special promotions and discounts. Some hotels offer web discounts only and you can avail of such by booking for your reservation on the net. Make sure that there are no reservation costs involved and check on the hotel’s cancellation policies should you change your mind. Generally, you will not be charged with cancellation penalties should you cancel your booking on time.
Also, look into the possibility of travel packages where they combine your hotel accommodations, car rental, etc. which could result to savings of hundreds of dollars. Before committing to any package deal though, just make sure that you really could save so check the prices if you were to purchase them separately.
In finding great hotel room rates where you can get as much as 25% off their published rates, you can accomplish this if you contact the hotel directly. You can search for the hotels through search engines and then when you get the contact information you could make a call or send an inquiry through email. Contacting directly eliminates the go-betweens like agencies and travel agents. You can also negotiate for a discount especially if you will be staying for quite sometime. You deserve a discount for that.
Just because you have a small budget is not a reason for you to stay in cheap and low-budget hotel. If you just know where to look for great hotel deals, you can get a nice hotel that you wouldn’t have thought to have gotten given the budget you had.
Help answer the question about travel hotels deals
I want my fiance and son to visit me in Okinawa. Can the military help me arrange that? Travel deals maybe?I will be leaving to Okinawa soon and after talking we have decided that my fiance will go to Japan every three months to visit me til My duty is done. Is there any website we can go to to get cheap flights, hotels or can the USMC help in any way so I can see my son and my girl while I am there. I know that they come live with me because then I would have to stay in the Marine Corp for two more years if I brought them with me so I am going alone and finishing of the one year and some change I have left. Please help a fellow marine.
My son is my dependent and my fiance is not but she will be in December when we get married.

Travelocity or Expedia.com are probably going to be your best all in one package sites. They usually have the cheapest rates and guarantee you won't find anything cheaper. Disney doesn't always give you cheaper rates.

You could stay at either one of the Value or Moderate Resorts at Walt Disney World for less than $300, probably even less than $200. And, as mentioned above, the Value Resorts are even less than $100. And ti definitely is worth it to stay right on property. You get a lot of special benefits as Guests and complimentary transportation around the Walt Disney World Resort. There's even complimentary transportation to and from the Orlando International Airport via Disney's Magical Express. If you can afford it, I wold recommend staying at one of the Moderate Resorts. Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is very nice and has an awesome pool. Disney's Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter & Riverside are both nice, too. My nine-year-old sister is staying at the French Quarter with her father in a few months. The French Quarter has a nice pool with a cool sea serpent waterslide, and Characters from Fantasia. I don't believe any of the Resorts have 24-hour pools, though, except maybe some of the Deluxe Resorts. I know the Quiet Pool at Disney's Polynesian Resort is always available, and I think one of the pools over at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is available at all times. However, all the pools at each of the Resorts are open until midnight unless specified otherwise (hours change during certain seasons).
I wouldn't bother wasting your money on a travel agent. They cost extra money. It's very simple to book an entire vacation right through the official Walt Disney World website or over the phone. Any other websites charge more. They have to buy the vacation packages through the Walt Disney World Company for you, and then they charge you extra so they can make a profit, too.
Hope I could help! Feel free to email me if you need any help planning your vacation! Have a magical time!

Save money by not booking rooms at the most expensive hotels. Eat out at fast food places primarily. Book the flight first because those will always fluctuate (usually to being more expensive the longer you wait to book), and then do the hotel.

Definitely visit the Desert Museum. You may say "we don't like museums," but it doesn't matter because it's still awesome. It's really more like a zoo than anything.
If you like hiking, March is still a pretty good time to do it. If you have some experience, check out Pima Canyon or Ventana Canyon up north, or Douglas Spring out east. Otherwise, stick to the paved and popular Sabino Canyon.
Do some shopping on Fourth Avenue and, to a lesser extent, the Lost Barrio. There may be the Fourth Avenue Street Fair going on at that time.
I think the Center for Creative Photography on the UA campus is great, and it's totally free.
You could head up to Mount Lemmon. It's like being in Colorado but only about 30 miles outside of the city. Beautiful drive too.
And, if you're up for the drive, you could head out to Tombstone, Bisbee or even Kartchner Caverns. You can do all of them in a really long day trip, but you'll need to reserve a Kartchner Caverns tour beforehand.
And, of course, get some Sonoran food. Head south of 22nd to the area around Sixth/Fourth Avenues near 36th Street, or 12th Avenue near Irvington. Crossroads and Mi Nidito are both great, but Crossroads is much less well-known. If you're too scared for the south side (Tucsonans seem to think that you'll be shot on arrival), then there's the less scary El Charro, near Downtown. It's a cool building but I don't like the food and I'd swear that the waitstaff is perpetually stoned. Cafe Poca Cosa always gets nods, but I think it's overpriced and all atmosphere without the food quality to back it up.
Also, on the food vein, get a Sonoran hot dog. These are a local specialty. They're available at little carts on the road sides at night, but you can also visit the most famous places: El Guero Canelo and BK's, which are both on 12th Avenue, but also have locations north of town on Oracle at Grant and First at Glenn respectively.
Lots of other fantastic restaurants here. It just depends on your preferences, but that'll get you started.

Call the hotel directly and ask if you can get a family or commercial rate. Often separate quotes are cheaper than those listed on the internet.
Also check a discount travel agency in your city to see if they can sell you an entire package.

Wow you have all this information at your finger tips not to mention the knowledge that goes with it. Why on earth are you asking complete strangers to help with this?? Look the answer is easy. Benefits vs Risk include variables (known and UNKNOWN, everybody always forgets the unknown variables) Subtract approximate net worth (never mind liquid assets right now) That will give you the answer you are looking for. Good Luck. P.S. If it were me, I wouldn't do it.

I'm on minimum wage, and so is my partner, and we're paying our house off in 5 years. These are some of the things we do to keep our budget under control.
We always buy stuff in bulk. Any non perishables, like washing powder or toilet paper, we get at Kmart (Australia) when they have their 15% off sale. That saves me $1 a kilo on washing powder, and I buy 12 kilos at a time. That lasts me nearly 12 months.
We buy meat in bulk and freeze it in portions in the freezer. That way, we always have meat in the freezer, and can take advantage of specials at the supermarket. If there are no specials that week, we still have meat.
I make all my own lunches for work. I make sandwiches and curries and pasta and freeze them in plastic containers, which I take out of the freezer the night before, so they thaw. I also make extra serves of meals and freeze them, so we're less inclined to go out for takeaway. That saves us big dollars over the year.
We make our own homebrew. It's very very cheap.
I grow vegies in my backyard and water them out of the shower recess. This saves us heaps on our food bill, and we always have fresh food. Potatoes, onions, and pumpkins store pretty well in the shed, too, so we have vegies for months after the growing season is over.
I drive an old car which we service ourselves. It cost about $2000 and I didn't need to take out a loan for it. I don't like debt, and I don't even have a credit card.
We use discount dockets for our petrol. Because we only live a few kilometres from our workplaces, we don't drive much during the week.
We always buy essentials like bread, sugar, and milk in generic brands so we can afford decent coffee and other things you don't buy in 'homebrand'.
I don't use credit cards. My life is so hectic that I'd never get to pay them off in time, because I work 2 jobs. However, I do always pay my bills on time, because I pay about $10 per bill a week just after payday if I get into town. That means when I get the bill, half of it is paid (makes budgeting easier) and I don't have to find the whole amount in a couple of weeks. I also get discounts doing it this way.
Best wishes
