Erin Burt, a contributing editor at Kiplinger.com, offers money-saving tips for 2008 vacations:
• Stay close to home. The average domestic airfare reached $331 at the end of 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the highest pricing in six years.
• Seek inexpensive lodging. Where you stay has a huge impact on your vacation budget. Use Kayak.com to search for the lowest hotel prices on the Web. Or consider these budget-friendly alternatives: hostels, college dorm rooms and campgrounds.
• Hold down food costs. Cook your own meals and work your food costs into your regular weekly grocery budget.
• Choose destinations with cheap entertainment. Stick to locations offering free or inexpensive things to do. Nearly all the main attractions are free in Washington, for example.
• Time your trip right. Traveling to winter havens can save cash. Visit on weekdays to avoid paying higher weekend lodging rates.
