Would you love to go on a beach vacation with the family but can’t afford it? What you need is a cheap beach vacation package that allows you and your family to go on a beach holiday at a price you can afford.
There are ways to find cheap family beach vacations that allow you all to go on a holiday. Firstly there are a few tips you might find handy for finding a cheap beach holiday.
Go to a beach resort that is close to the popular beach resorts. There are plenty of beach resortst that are well known and popular, and expensive, beach resorts. I’m sure you could name one or two in the Carribean for instance. But there are more beach resorts in the Carribean than just the popular and well known ones, some equally as good, but less well known and so less expensive.
It makes sense. Price is a feature of supply and demand. Demand is high for the popular well known beach resorts, so prices are higher. They know that if you want to go to Aruba, for example, you’ll have to pay big time.
But just around the corner, or on another island close by, there may be a wonderful beach resort that is less well known and so more secluded, less crowded and cheaper to vacation at. Just that nobody knows about it.
And go just out of high season. I’m sure you’ve seen the big discounts offered once high season ends. So arrange your family holidays so that they don’t coincide with high season. It doesn’t really matter if the kids have a week or 2 off school. I’m sure you know about high and low season.
Less well known is this. Downtime. Any owner of a facility, say a hotel, at a beach resort, must maximise the number of rooms he has occupied at any time. All rooms occupied is ideal, any less than all is less than ideal. So there are always people looking to fill their rooms, at any price. Just like the airlines. They will fill seats at any price, within reason, rather than fly with seats unoccupied.
So if you know where to look you can find cheap airline tickets from airlines trying to fill empty seats.
The same with beach vacations. They will sell places at well below retail price to fill rooms. They won’t do it in the regular places like the travel agencies because it spoils their regular retail price business, but they will do it. If you know where to go to find the deals.
And there are stacks of other reasons why there are cheap beach holidays available at extremely low prices, even at the popular beach resorts. But you need to know where to look for them.
So if you’re looking for a cheap family beach vacation then do your homework. You don’t need to buy a beach vacation at full retail price. Be a savvy online shopper and buy a beach vacation that your family will remember for a long time, cheap.

There is no city that encompasses Western European sophistication and Eastern European culture and charm quite like Vienna, Austria. Baroque edifices enchant the pristinely kempt boulevards while sleek restaurants are packed with networking business suits. Remnants of pre-Roman history in the Danube River Valley make Vienna an intriguing center of human settlement apart from its European neighbors. Celtic and Viking history adorn the extensive museum collections while any conversation with a local will reveal a rather complex, if not completely convoluted, lineage (as anyone will find some way to connect their genealogy to the Habsburg dynasty).
Roped in by the Ringstrasse
Vienna is easily navigable for even the most turned around traveler, with the oldest and most commercial districts encircled by the grand Ringstrasse (Ring Street) and the Danube River to the North. The Innere Stadt is the first district and home to most of Vienna’s historic and architectural splendors. You will find yourself immediately drawn to St. Stephen’s Cathedral, a Gothic and Romanesque landmark soaring high above the surrounding square. Climb the 343 steps of the nearly claustrophobic spiral staircase to the watchman’s lookout in the South Tower or head underground from the North Tower to the catacombs beneath the cathedral where 14 members of the Habsburg family are buried alongside the mausoleum of the bishops. When Vienna was the center of the Holy Roman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, the Habsburgs made monumental efforts to carve their place into Viennese history. Schloss Schönbrunn is the former summer palace of the Habsburg family and the site of the oldest zoo in the world. Tour the halls and gardens and then go next door to the famous Spanish Riding School where the coveted Lipizzan Stallions are bred, trained and shown in elaborate performances during the winter.
The World Capital of World Class Music
The city of Mozart and Beethoven loves to remind the world of its heritage all year long. Summer, winter, spring and fall are all celebrated with unwavering zeal through a seemingly endless string of festivals. Even Mozart would be moved during the Film Festival am Rathausplatz, which is held during July and August. Remarkable films are projected onto the grand wall of the Rathausplatz (city hall) nightly, along with operatic performances from the world’s best. Men and women gather here after work to enjoy cocktails and the extensive array of international cuisines and stay well into the night to dance, watch films and stroll through the adjacent park. This is just a touch of the Viennese way of life.
Coffee Dreams of Chocolate
Before you leave Vienna, it would be a mistake not to indulge in the proud coffee culture. Find a coffeehouse and order from the endless menu of roasts. Also, you may find it difficult to avoid the tourist-targeted Mozart Balls (chocolates made for the man himself), but resist temptation and venture into a true Viennese chocolaterie like the famous Demels. There is no better Viennese experience than sinking into a silky chocolate tart and sipping a creamy latte outside the Imperial Palace!

People are often surprised when I tell them how much I love Los Angeles because all they see is smog, Botox and traffic jams. I see a different side, an inspirational city focused on keeping your dreams alive.
If you’re someone with goals, dreams or burning desires the City of Angels teaches persistence, the importance of passion, knowing when to let go, how not to be attached to the outcome and go with the flow. Let me take you on a tour of LA through my eyes and why it inspires me.
Let’s start with something it’s definitely famous for – dreams.
** Following Your Dreams **
The main thing I love about L.A. is that it is a place of creative dreams as most people are there because they want to become an actor, script writer, singer, dancer, producer or the like.
Years ago I met a woman at a West Hollywood gym who told me that her husband had just received a promotion where they’d have to relocate to another country. She said he decided to turn down the opportunity because she had just read for a TV pilot and it looked like her acting career was *finally* about to takeoff.
She said, “I’ve been waiting for this for over 10 years and am lucky to have a guy in my life who knows what dreams are made of and supports me in my goals.” I thought, “Wow. Waiting 10 years to achieve your career passion, that’s persistence”.
And it’s also not something we hear often. I mean how many times have you heard an accountant, shopkeeper, salesperson or manager say, “I’ve been waiting 10 years for this job”? In reality, they usually spend a few years studying and gaining experience and then spend the next 10 years trying to figure out how they can escape the rat race!
Years after that discussion I was running that very rat race and I thought back to the time in the gym.
I was frustrated because things weren’t happening quickly enough in my career, I wanted to move away from my marketing role and focus on writing and delivering inspirational programs to groups to help people live more fulfilling lives. I also had a strong desire to control my own destiny and work for myself. And although I enjoyed marketing I wanted to use the skills on something I was passionate about.
At that stage I had been actively pursuing my goals for four years and things were moving along but I wanted it to happen *now*. I was at a very impatient stage in my life and was the person who used to scream at the microwave, “Hurry up” because even fast action food nuking wasn’t quick enough for me. I was tired of the slog, working for no reward and I was literally chasing a dream instead of living one. And my beautiful dreams were turning into a slog. I thought, ‘C’mon people throw me a bone just to keep me going.”
If you have big ambitions you also have to have a lot of hope and belief to support them. That actor believed in herself and anything else was second best, she also had a support system in her husband. And a cheer squad is great, but quite honestly, support can come and go and there will always be naysayers. Or those in your life who are happy to support your desires, until it takes longer than they thought, and are wondering when you’re going to bring in the money. Or sometimes they just become tired of hearing the plans without what they perceive to be any progress.
I guess what I’m trying to say, is that support systems are essential and great, but it comes down to you, YOU have to believe in your dreams because if you don’t, no one else will.If you truly have a dream that makes your heart sing you can’t just give it up after a week, a month, a year or 10 years. And although I was frustrated, I also had a one track mind, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. In fact, I thought if I didn’t realize my dream it would be like a death inside me and I would go back to being one of the millions of walking numb. People who live life on a flat line. And the thought of not fulfilling my passion was far worse than honing my patience and persistence skills.
** Letting Go **
Another thing I love about LA is that the people are diverse as very few are born there. They come from all over the world in order to make their dreams come true.
They leave behind the comfort of their homes, their family, their friends, their cars, their favorite deli, their soul inspiring park, their dog, in other words they leave their comfort zone to create their joy. That may seem like a lot to give up, but in reality, they would never be 100% percent fulfilled unless they did. I know I’d rather live a happy life than an emotionally safe one.
The challenge for most people is that we’re scared. We stick with what’s familiar because we know what we’re doing. When we move onto something new there’s no guarantee of success. It’s like your first day, at your first job all over again and we all know how uncomfortable that was. We felt we’d never know everything there is to know in order to do our new job well. But fast forward 5, 10, 15 years and most people are sitting there bored to tears with a job they know inside out and provides few challenges – no wonder they’re living a flat line life.
In my situation it wasn’t a case of letting go of my environment but changing my mind because I had to ‘Let Go of What I Knew’ and create a new identity for myself.
One of the favorite questions people love to ask so they can put you in a box is, “So what do you do?”
There was a stage where I used to say, “Well I do a lot of things, I like reading and going to movies. Travel is a lot of fun and I like going down to the beach as often as I can.” Whenever I responded like that people looked at me a little odd and then said, “Oh so you’re a stay at home mom or you’re in between jobs right now?”
Ah, no. I’m working. They just didn’t get it and thought I was nuts.
At the time I was a well established marketer. When you realize how much emphasis society puts on what you do for a living it can be overwhelming when you’re making a career change to follow your dreams. The challenge was, as I uncovered my purpose I had to take a bold step and abandon what I used to do in order to own what I was stepping into.
So whenever the “What do you do?” question came up, I’d say I was a self-improvement writer and mentor. Of course the next question was, “Oh, have you published any books?” I can now say that I have, but back then, I had published articles but not the coveted book everyone likes to think is the proof and standard of writing success. I have to admit I was a little uncomfortable saying what I was doing because I was just starting out, whereas if I had stuck to my previous job description I had a list of great accomplishments.
But that wasn’t who I was anymore and by hanging on to what was, I wasn’t making any room for what is and what will be. Plus, I also realized that who I am has very little to do with what I do for work.So I had to let go of that crazy thought that we are our careers. I know that a lot of people equate their value to the value of their job and if for some reason they lose their job they also lose their sense of positive self-esteem.
When in reality, if you create a strong sense of self it holds strong no matter what is going on around you.The point is, it’s OK to let go because the essence of what makes you, you *really* doesn’t change that much over time.
By letting go of a part of your life, you’re still you.
Keeping the dream alive and pursuing your passion is integral to a joyous and fulfilling life. In Part 2 of your L.A. dream tour we focus on: believing you can make money doing what you love and understanding the concept of ‘this or something better’.
