It's time to answer the phone, no more avoiding the telemarketer when the call. As a matter of fact, after reading this, you might start looking forward to those annoying not so convient phones calls. We talked about time now lets talk about time-shares. Most of the hot very nice vacation spots have local resort that are purchased through time-share. No, no you don't have to buy one. Those time-share resorts have telemarkerts that call you or you can contact them. Believe it or not they will actually offer you a free 2-3-night vacation. However, you will not be staying at the resort, but you be staying a hotel nearby free of charge, yes I said free. There is a catch, you have to take a 90 min. tour of the resort or time-share that they are trying to sell you. However, you do not have to make a purchase and they will very often throw in a free meal or ticket to a local event. I have personally used this method of discount-travel- saving, and it have been most helpful. My family and me show up early and take the tour first, then we have the rest of the vacation to enjoy to ourselves, hassle free.

You don't have to, but if you decide to purchase the time-share that offer you more discount-travel-saving. Because you purchase a couple of weeks at the resort, but you can sell your weeks, auction them off or you can simply trade them. You can trade your weeks with another family another family at the same resort, because want to be there a different time. You can trade your weeks with a family a completely different resort in the same town or any where across the country. As a matter of fact, you can trade your week with another family in a different country. You will be amazed at how many of the resort location are linked together, so you have broad range of choices. Every year you may be able to pick a different resort and a different location and a different time of year to travel. It is still all about planning ahead.

However, if you are on a budget, take your time and shop around c. Call the city of location that you want to visit. Their visiting center should some information, about the resort or time-shares in that area. Keep in mind you can usually visit them for free, by just taking a tour. Oh. Yeah! The tour locations usually provide lunch, drinks and snakes. So relax, eat up and enjoy your discount travel saving that could almost be free.

Are, you ready for a little or maybe a lot of adventure, and perhaps a free vacation? Yes, it is possible that would pay for its self and maybe a little extra. I' m taking about tadventure travel and treasure hunting vacations. There are several location through the United States and through the world. Some vacation are just running over with Gold fever. Who said the gold rush was long dead, forgotten and part of just the old west. Here is how it works you have to pay a fee to dig and mind on the gold claim, you have to pay or bring your on pick, pan and bucket. If you forget these items, don't worry. The gold mine owners have all of these items for sale and more. It is possible to find nice gold nugget the very first time you give it a try. Be careful gold fever is contagious, people have been know to get back time after time, they just can't get enough. Once you find some, you can keep or you can cash it in with the owners. Find enough gold and it will pay for your entire vacation plus more. There is gold in the hills of California, USA.

Gold is not the only hot item on the list. Nevada is known for than just the casinos, there is an Opal mine. No kidding you can go to a place called Royal Peacock, Nevada. The procedure is pretty much the same as it is for gold. All you have to do is pay a fee for mining the land. Pay for supplies if you didn't already bring your own. They will show you were to mine and show you a sample of what you will be looking for, and off you go.
This is a great way to get a discount-travel-vacation, a little fun and adventure at the same time.

This type of vacation is called adventure travel, treasure hunting. There are family treasure hunter that make this a family event every year. The family or group of people may pick the same site or different locations, that way they get to see different parts of the world while vacationing and treasure hunting. Not to mention you get to enjoy the great outdoor and get plenty of physical exercise. The great part is you can stay as long or little as you like. Dig a little or dig a lot, it's all up to you.

Are you ready for ready to go your cheap discount vacation? Well get out your wallet and open those purse. Check with all your credit cards, some offer frequent usage points. The credit card points can be used for free or discount airplane tickets and free or discounted hotel rooms. What else could be in your wallet or purse? Is your automobile broken down? No! Good! We can still make good use of that automotive club card that you have. This is a great way to save on travel transportation and local events, such as theater tickets. You can use your automotive club card to save on meals at certain restaurants, rental cars, hotel discount and so much more. As a courtesy to your, automotive club, such as AAA will plan your vacation for around discount features they offer, even if your not traveling by car.

Discount warehouses, is good buying more than 1 case of paper towels. They will provide you with a whole traveling plan. They offer cheap discount travel vacation plans. They offer lots of cruise vacations with a variety of exotic destinations. These cruises are taking place all year long. You can take the vacation pre packages that they offer. You can also get someone to assist you in creating your own vacation package.

Join an automotive or a discount warehouse, they will both be well worth the money. As they have several advantages and usages. These clubs are not actually cheap not expensive at all when you learn how to use all your benefits.

There are also discount web sites that specialize is getting you the cheapest rates on airlines and hotels. Some have set prices and other let you set you own price. What you do is put in the request with prices and options, give your destination. They hunt around and try to find you the offering price. However, you must be a flexible about your time of travel and the airline or hotel that you want. Again, will planning ahead and some flexibility you can have any cheap discount vacation.

There is an old saying that goes (it better to give than to receive). Who came it with that saying, I say it is better to do both at the same time. If you want cheap-discount-travel, how about house swapping. That's right I said it house swapping. I would rather call it vacation swapping. This is newest, latest thing in cheap-discount travel. Here is how it works. YOU find a family or a person that wants to travel to your location the town or city where or near where you live. You will stay in their house in their city, town or different country, and they will come to where you live. Yes, the will actually be staying in your house, so you have to be ok with sharing your personal space.

There are a couple of precautions that I would take. You might want to put up all your valuable and personal information or anything that you would be terrified if it gotten broken. I sure they would not intentionally destroy anything, but mistakes do happen. Prior to the switch, you have to decide who would pay the utilities and other usable items. Everyone usually purchases their own food and clean the house when the visit is over. You can also swap automobiles with that person; this will further save you some money on car rental fees again adding to your cheap-discount- travel experience. Again each person would pay for their gas while in usage and fill and clean the automobile up on completion of usage. Thus, both parties receive and give a free vacation stay and transportation for free. Not to mention that the family in question; might have some family pass to local events, that can be used by their home guess, since your staying in their home, your more like an extended family instead of a visitor. Again, adding more value to your cheap-discount-travel vacation.

Depending on where you want to go and where you want to visit, will determine how many responses you get to your offer. If you live in a hot vacation spot or big city or not to far from one this might be a very easy task for you. However, if your location is not so popular, you might have to do a little research. Do some research and find out what types of events or activities that are happing is your area. Make a list and enhance the features. You would be surprised at what local activities that don't necessary appeal to you might be the very thing that some else is looking for.
