Summer Travel—Where the Deals Are …and Aren't - WSJ.com
From
CHUCK DUNCAN
At a time when all of America is hurting from the financial crisis, we who operate hospitality businesses in the U.S. see an artilce like this [WSJ] as a little painful. My two lodges in Ruidoso, New Mexico (Whispering Pine Cabins and Shadow Mountain Lodge) are both very economical and can facilitate any number of people or groups. The New Mexico experience is one that every American should take in. Within a short drive from our mountain resorts one can visit the Trinity Site (where the first nuclear explosion occured), the Valley of Fires, Old Lincoln (where Billy the Kid made old west history), White Sands Monument, Carlsbad Caverns, Smokey the bears home, and now Spaceport America where in the following months the first commercial space flights will begin. These are only a few of the amazing things Southern New Mexico has to share. Then there is incredible hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, gambling, horse racing and almost perfect weather year round. (In the winter, Ruidoso's guests enjoy some of the best skiing in the country. Sure, visiting Europe and Asia is great, but how about sticking around and saving some real money by visiting your neighbors and keeping the cash flow where it is realy needed right now? We are only two hours from El Paso, two and half from Santa Fe and Albuquerque, an hour and a half from Roswell and a couple of hours from the Spaceport ( in case your travelling from somewhere farther away than Boise)Friday, April 27, 2012

How to take a $2800 4 Day Trip for $750
How to take a 4 day, 3 night Anniversary Trip 3/4th off!
Last week the sweetheart and I took off for Southern Orange County Beaches for a 3 night-4 day get away.
Being the frugal traveler, I started looking for deals in early December. Alaska Air offered amazing deals, $40 each way to Orange County from Seattle... AND it was good for the weekend of our 30th Anniversary! WooHoo! With tax, license and dealer's prep that was only $101 per person round trip.
I started searching for hotels on the beach. I started tracking hotels on YAPTA.com. Found something within our budget, but still needed a car and, what do you know, through Hotels.com I was able to get a car and the hotel for less than the hotel directly. WOW! A king suite, ocean view, with breakfast and free covered parking for three nights with a car from Thrifty for $343!
The sweetheart loves to golf, my anniversary gift to him was 18 holes at the beautiful Monarch Bay Golf Club, on line special two for one....
Then where to go for the anniversary dinner... Restaurant.com had certificates for Tortilla Flats, lake view table, drinks, appetizers, dinner and dessert bringing our tab down from $90 to only $50! Holy Mole!
The sweetheart likes to fly FIRST CLASS, and by getting to the airport two hours ahead of our flight, I was able to do a 'paid' upgrade to first for $50 each, each way, effectively doubled the $101 price of coach tickets to $200 RT FIRST CLASS tickets per person. Serious savings...
