Internet Websites

There are a number of Internet websites out there that you can actually go to and get discounted prices on premium travel accommodations. The thing to look out for here is that their inventory will change from day to day. And so, what you might see today may not be available tomorrow, which is the biggest issue with Internet websites.

Travel Associations

Taking advantage of vacation associations can actually be a great way to get discounts on luxury travel and weekend getaway deals. You can find these at your church, or local club or any kind of association like a teacher’s or a police association where there might be a vacation group.

One idea is to do a long road trip down the romantic Oregon coast. Yet, we’ve done so many day trips to the coast, it might be nice to explore other areas. Portland, of course has an assortment of five start hotels, dining and night life, but that could easily put us over budget quickly. Another idea is go head east and see some new country – Wallowa Lake has a big assortment of nice lodging, dining and even camping options and currently the top pick for me. While getting to some destinations might be tricky in winter, and we’re still not sure of what time of year we’ll get married, there are many great cabins that would be good for any time of year. Kayaking or canoeing would be nice, but stomping around in the snow is also highly appealing.

This is why using a vip travel club is something that we recommend for people that find themselves in this situation. Specifically the Primo Vacation travel club requires a one time lifetime payment.
