Planning an Inverse Vacation
Planning an Inverse Vacation
When people plan a vacation, they probably have a particular destination (like Disney World) in mind from the beginning. From that point on, they will try to find the best deal available for that location, but they will always be limited to deals surrounding that choice.
Enter inverse vacation planning.
Trent Hamm at The Simple Dollar explains that for people who want to vacation on a budget they should be looking at things backward. Find the deal, then consider going there.
This approach is sort of like browsing the clearance racks at a department store. People are not usually looking for something specific there, but often, a great deal will suddenly appear. Clearance shopping is a very gratifying experience for many because they receive a great deal and the unexpected thrill of surprise.
Get started by keeping your eyes open for deals. Trent explains that deals will often fall into people's lap if they are simply on the lookout for opportunities. Visiting family across the country, taking advantage of a friend's unused cabin or stumbling upon a program that offers free tickets and discounts to students of a certain age are all ways in which he was able to turn something that looked uninspiring on the surface into a meaningful family vacation that everyone could enjoy.
Travel is often the largest expense for far-away destinations and searching for flights well in advance can reveal incredible discounts if a person does not already have an endpoint in mind. If a family was not even considering an international trip for their holiday, discovering insanely cheap tickets to the UK might spark a new feeling of possibility and interest.
Don't forget to check last minute cruises. Cruise ships want to be full. If you are flexible, you can get the last rooms at a great price. Watch for sales and try the adventure of not really knowing where you'll end up.
