I Found A Number Of Good Vacation Ideas Recently!
Although the economy is crummy, I figure we need to carve out some money for a little vacation once in awhile. I have wondered if you can stay on a tight budget and still get away on a short trip. It seems that there are great hotel deals to be found at many of the well-known travel sites if I spend a little time in research.
The choice of travel website should not only include finding the lowest price for car, hotel and air travel, you also want a company with a reputation for arranging a vacation without problems. Then I was thinking about where to go where it’s easy to find good prices on air travel or where I can drive my car. Southern California certainly fits that description.
A lot of vacation ideas are provided at the SoCal Vacation Guru site. It focuses mainly on Orange County and Los Angeles County, but will eventually expand to provide more information on San Diego County and the Inland Empire desert and mountain areas as well. Along with a ton of useful information and insight related to the beaches, Disneyland, shopping, dining, hotel options and other attractions, there is good coverage on Universal Studios at the SoCal Vacation Guru site.
The SoCal theme parks include Disneyland (with Disney’s California Adventure), Knott’s, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios Hollywood, SeaWorld and Legoland. If you love theme parks, it would be tempting to try and fit all seven into a very busy, and perhaps relatively expensive, vacation trip. The slow economy is unfortunate, but there are great deals to be found at hotels near Universal Studios if your budget allows for it, with many vacation-oriented businesses really wanting your business.
Theme parks are offering some discounts, and the prices might be a bit lower at museums and other activities as well. Despite increases and fluctuations in gasoline prices, a driving trip to So Cal might well be a cheaper vacation option for many Americans than flying to another vacation destination.
