I was very happy that my family and I were able to visit my parents, siblings, nieces, nephews last year and had long vacation. It was totally a very wonderful vacation because we went during Holidays.
For people like me who do not have much resources and luxury to travel frequently can only have a long vacation once every two or three years. It is because we have to plan and organize the traveling and itineraries. Most importantly, we have to save a big sum of money to cover all the vacation expenses including air fares, tickets, hotel accommodations, food, resort bookings, and tours.
Spending time with our families back home is always a wonderful thing. And during our vacation, we took my parents, siblings, and the kids to a beach resort for some relaxation time. We also visited them in my hometown and had lunches and dinners with them. Since we were there on Holidays, we threw a small Christmas party for the kids at my parents’ place. It was such a memorable party because that was the very first time in years. Everyone was very happy.
It’s great to see happy faces especially on Holidays. Traveling on holidays and vacationing can be very expensive but having enough time saving money, everything is hassle-free. So if you are planning a vacation in the near future, start saving money now.
I miss my family back home in the Philippines too and it is something that we have to save money on, but before that, we have to save money on something else first. We love to travel and we have a list of places we want to explore someday. Of course the Philippines is part of that and New Zealand. Someday!
I don’t travel mostly inside Ecuador because it’s cheaper. I really don’t make enough to save, so I go where it is cheapest.
This is a great idea. We save money for everything else, why not future travel?
I really need to start saving money! I just have to figure away to save money
We start saving money early also so we can travel for the holidays. It is a great idea!
Whatever you are saving for…start saving now! So true 🙂
We usually jump on those last minute cheap travels 😉
It works as well! Can be lucky and get some GREAT vacations for little money.
Spending time with family is great, sounds like fun – but where are the photos?
Traveling is one expense we make a priority in our family because of the memories made and shared. We even moved to Florida so we could have mini vacations more frequently to beaches and theme parks.
Good advice, but don’t spend money on travel before putting some away in a retirement account first!
Hi Scott! We are working on it, too. 😉 Thanks for stopping by.
