TOP TEN THINGS I LIKE TO DO WHILE ON VACATION<\/strong>
\n10) Get a tattoo of the motto of the city I’m in on my bicep.
\n9) Re-enact Civil War battles in the local supermarket. Use Service Desk as the Garrison.
\n8) Stuff pants pockets with sticky tadpoles. Go to areas known for pickpockets.
\n7) To pay for my trip I turn over a garbage can and play it like a drum and sing a little scat while requesting donations.
\n6) Watching the Bachelor give the final rose to the crazy girl to increase TV ratings (oops that was supposed to be on my list of The Top Ten Things That Irk Me).
\n5) Join in any double-dutch jump rope competitions in the neighborhoods.
\n4) Look for mimes in parks and help them get out of their ‘box’.
\n3) Gather as many coins as I can from the town center fountain. Buy candy with it all.
\n2) Purchase a souvenier from the city I’m in. Use them to barter for maize and pelts.
\n1) After I ask someone to take out picture I ask them for a little massage. <\/p>\n

VACATIONS<\/strong>
\nI’ve been getting requests on where to get deals for vacations. There are a variety of ways to find travel deals. Flights are getting more expensive and deals are harder to come by. Hotels and car rental deals are easier to find. <\/p>\n

Staying local for a vacation is the best frugal option. Ever been to the other side of town? East siders check out the west side and vice versa. Ask folks from the other side of town for their favorite desinations. A good resource for U.S. road travel is http:\/\/www.roadtripamerica.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For hundreds more tips on travel deals and tips purchase my Savvy Shopper booklet at http:\/\/www.joethecouponguy.com\/merchandise\/index.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

FLIGHTS<\/strong>
\nUse http:\/\/www.Kayak.com<\/a> to find the best deals. I like http:\/\/www.farecompare.com<\/a> to see a map of where to find the best round-trip flights prices are across the world. It allows you to set-up a feature that will send an e-mail when the price goes down of the flight you are interested in.<\/p>\n


\n\"CheapAir.com\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CHEAPAIR<\/strong>
\nOver three million people have bought tickets from CheapAir.com. Here’s why: Price Drop Payback – If fares drop after a purchase, they’ll credit you back the difference. Mix & Match Fares – CheapAir searches up to 100x more low fare options that other sites miss.

SOUTHWEST<\/strong>
\nSouthwest doesn’t participate in travel aggregator sites. You have to check their deals separately. You can find one-way flights to Chicago, Nashville, and Baltimore from Cleveland for $69. The deals change every week. Click on this link to find deals for all the cities they serve:
\nhttp:\/\/travel.southwest.com\/specialoffers\/offerDetails.html?<\/a><\/p>\n


\n\"Cash<\/a><\/p>\n

HOTELS<\/strong>
\nOne of my favorite sites to find hotels is Hotels.com. They have a limited amount of rooms available at low rates. Check them often for price drops, rebates, and percentage off sales. Best to book a room early and keep checking to see if the price went down. If so, rebook at the lower rate.<\/p>\n

Click here for Hotels.com deals:
\nhttp:\/\/tinyurl.com\/85q2kbq<\/a><\/p>\n

Try Groupon<\/a> and Living Social<\/a>, Eversave<\/a> for hotels now too. They now offer limited time hotel deals that sometimes include airfare. Many offer dinner credits, entertainment tickets and even spa credits. I’ve used them and they have deals you won’t find elsewhere. Unique deals too!<\/p>\n

ROOMSAVER<\/strong>
\nRoomsaver.com is good for those that are travelling on the road. You can find their deals in magazines at stops off the freeway like a Denny’s or gas station. They are low-end deals, but you can find rooms for $50 and less.<\/p>\n


\n\"Find<\/a><\/p>\n

B&B<\/strong>
\nBed and Breakfasts are like staying at home on the road. Most include a great breakfast. B&Bs offer up great ideas and deals for local attractions since the owner has a vested interest in getting you back there. Ask them for coupons and discounts for local attractions.

CAR RENTALS<\/strong>
\n My favortie car rental site is http:\/\/www.autoslash.com<\/a>. They were able to lower my car rental from about $250 down to $100 for a weekly rental! They check every day to find a better rate for you and you can rebook it under the better rate.<\/p>\n

Always book the cheapest car and most likely they will have to upgrade you for free. They will usually wheel and deal with you if you want to upgrade at the counter. I booked a subcompact car once and they didn’t have any and I ended up with a convertible for $10 a day.<\/p>\n

Also check area stores to see what they offer for deals. For instance, Discount Drug Mart offers discounts on tickets to many events and attractions.<\/p>\n

GOOD MORNING CLEVELAND<\/strong>
\nCheck out this segment that I was on with Leon Bibb talking about gas deals. In my life I never thought I would be talking about gas with Leon. Before the segment he asked what we were going to talk about and I said gas, but not the stuff that comes out the back end. I’m glad he has a sense of humor.
