Do you wonder how to plan a family vacation with limited time off? Are you looking for budget-friendly trip ideas? We answer these questions and more! Because Karen is a teacher, we have gotten good at planning trips and maximizing long weekends since she has minimal time off during the school year.

In our posts, we share how we plan budget-minded trips without sacrificing a lot of comfort or planned activities, as well as other tips such as how to take better photos. Below, we share travel tips, plus trip guides and itineraries for the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Be sure to check out our other pages for National Parks and Disney World.
