The Top Ten...

1. Shop for discounted air fares.
2. Shop for package deals. Combine your flight, lodging and transportation together.
3. If possible, plan your vacation during the off season. Here is an excellent way to save.
4. Pack light and keep everything to one carry-on bag per person. This is also a huge time saver.
