The Most Inexpensive Vacation is Free
I know this tightwad travel tip is a little odd, but how about getting your next vacation 100% absolutely totally free? Ever won a trip? It's a great feeling - trust me, I've been there. The best travel good deal I've experienced was a weeklong trip to Mazatlan, Mexico for two, courtesy of Tecate Beer. Now as a starving college student this was pretty much as good as it gets! :-) All I did was come up with a couple of silly nicknames for the Aztec dudes on the can and bingo - a girlfriend and I were off to Mehico for spring break - budget style! Muay gracias, Tecate!
I came across a couple of contests that I thought you might want to try your luck at.
Trip Around the World
RIM, the BlackBerry cell phone company, is offering weekly travel prizes like a weekend getaway for two anywhere in the continental US, as well as the big prize of a round the world trip. They also throw in daily giveaways through February 27th to keep it interesting. The grand prize is valued at about $35,000!!!
