well we are half way thu 2017 and money still tight so my travel plans are canceled for the time being , one day i will get there , i may rethink and see if anyway of doing it on the cheap,

maybe try looking down the private accommodation maybe some one has a room or cabin

or something maybe cheaper than going down the package holiday direction , well the old pigy bank is a long way of full so got plenty of time to organize something .

by the time i find somewhere i love ill be dead at this rate lol feel like im trapped on Alcatraz

i just hate this country wherever you go you feel like a mouse on a wheel fighting to get thu the day , difference is the mouse is prob havin fun lol , well i look forward to hopes and dreams

There are bound to be lots of books at the local library on how to "travel on the cheap" People do it all the time.

or here's an option.

I'm going to begin traveling around my state by train very shortly. I've used farmers markets as the excuse. Then family history, then just to see stuff. You need a reason to travel. An interest. That way you can plan better outings and things to see. If my reason to travel was fishing for instance, I know where i want to go ( best fishing spots) before I even start out and can budget accordingly.

thanks for the reply , i also just read your comment on the temp. today -7 blimey brrrr ....sadly my travels are quite far afield the Rockies , i did Canada in 1990 for 4 months and been young and a unexperienced traveler , well im still the latter . i didnt make the most of them 4 months it was unplanned and didnt have much money ' not much has changed ' while im still able and young ish lol well im not quite classed as old yet . id love to see the west id also like to see the southern Rockies down Into i think Wyoming if Im right without looking on a map. hopefully 1 day i will get there i keep trying to save money and something always gets in the way thants life i guess . But thanks have a great day TJ

Ah now im with ya. I understand the "holiday package" now. Interestingly, the main expense of America is getting there. Once youre youre in though, domestically, its really cheap. Especially if youre prwpared to backpack or travel by bus.

and stay in hostels.

And the exchange over here compared to the pound is super good.

Not sure what it is to the AUS dollar mind you.

Rockies dip down into Wyoming and Colorado

Was just wondering: If you can't afford to get abroad, can you afford a holiday traveling in the UK? There's a heck of a lot to see and most people just never get round to it. Mountains, coastline, castles, shows, gigs and festivals...just for starters. Ever been to Stonehenge? Gone on a canal holiday?

Getting back to Canada has been a dream of mine for some time I thought last year maybe I'd be able to afford it this years but life's normal things and expenses have got in the way.

I travel as much as I can but generally not far these days mainly wales , tho I have done lots of the uk and still lots to see , like you say there is so much in this country most people forget . Nope I haven't , lol it's on my todo list

My summer travel plans were suddenly interrupted by a bad cooling system and the necessity to completely redo it in my wife's car...
