Ways to Save Money
Depending on where you’re located in the US, you might be able to drive to Georgia is just one or two days. While you have to factor in the cost of lost time, driving will save you quite a bit of traveling-money, especially if you’re bringing your entire brood. If you do fly, try to eliminate the need for a rental car, and engage an Atlanta airport transportation to take you from the airport to your accommodations. You can also save money on your trip by renting a VRBO (that’s Vacation Rental By Owner) instead of a traditional hotel room. Most VRBOs come with a full kitchen, so you and your family will save by not eating out for every meal, and most VRBOs are cheaper than a hotel stay. There are quite a few out-of-the-box ways to enjoy a traditional vacation at an untraditional cost, so check out VRBOs, car services, and means of transportation to get a better (and less expensive) experience.
