Tips on traveling CHEAP

[shooter]

Anyone seen "The Booze Traveler"?

Map out all routes to stay with FB friends whom you've never actually met!
Bring a bottle of wine for a house warming gift and then ask where your room is!

Seriously: I spent two weeks on a GL1500 Valkyrie from Philly to Vancouver and paid for a hotel room only 2x.

Slainte,

I tried to tell that other Florida boy.

...I tried to tell that other Florida boy.

Oh I'll stop by all right, with booze, and if the chef in the house does not desire to cook, we're going out for dinner and it's on me.
And planned trips, I don't arrive unannounced....but I might swing by Shooter's place someday without prior warning, white flag ready, of course.

Sometimes me or when I am with a bud we stay at the Lowes or Home Depot hotel.I find a decent size portable building in a Lowes or Home Depot parking lot pull my bike in after closing then a hasp and 4 wood screws on the inside and roll out sleeping bag.

This has been discussed by a few of my co-workers as they are older and getting ready to retire. Grab your bedroll and go

This is turning into an interesting thread. My thought is if i am traveling for a week or more cutting expenses and getting a hotel less often. Maybe every few days instead of every night.

as a vet I have access to "Armed Forces vacation club". https://www.afvclub.com/. They have condos around the world for @ $300 for 7 nights. Full kitchen, washer dryer, separate bedrooms and pull out couch. Had some friends visit for the weekend, they bought the food. So it cost me less than $45/night for some nice digs. Last year for vaca, I went to TN and stayed in a nice condo in Fairfield Glade. Day trips to the Dragon, Cherehola, Kentucky, Alabama, and little bit of GA. This year I may try the Nashville location and combine with our Arkansas get together.

Thanks on this tip! I'm retired Air Force and will look into it!

Be careful doing that. My wife works for Lowes and if the catch you they will prosecute you. To many times they have found things inside, like drugs.
