Taking a holiday with family & friends
One of the cheapest ways to take a holiday is to book in large numbers, very often you get special deals when booking for a party, which means a reduction each when you all chip in and pay your share. You make savings on plane tickets, hotel rooms and if booking for a special occasion such as a wedding or anniversary, then very often the hotel will throw in extras such as champagne and food. So if you have friends and family that have a special day coming up then consider spending a week or two together on holiday.
It is at times such as this when you will find out just how strong your friendships and family ties are, especially if you are thinking of spending every minute of the holiday together. So you will have to bear in mind if your friendship or family commitment is close enough to withstand a week or two of being in the company of each other continually. While this is supposed to be a relaxing break that saves you money while at the same time being fun filled, it is possible that you will get on each others nerves.
Of course the best way to enjoy the savings, the holiday and also having your family and friends around you is to go your own ways during the day and then meet up during the evenings. This gives you chance to do your own thing during the day and still meet up and spend quality time together during the evening, so you have the best of both worlds and your friendships and family ties remain intact.
