Summer Trip Planning Ideas from an Expert

travel-tickerWhen a “staycation” just won’t do, it’s time to book a real getaway. But whether you’re traveling solo, with the family or taking a romantic trip for two, money is always an important thing to consider during the trip-planning process. Gas prices might be rising as the weather heats up, but this summer travel season can offer you cool deals while keeping your piggy bank intact.  According to Angela Lyda, senior editor of  Travel-Ticker.com, travel is better than ever, and it’s still possible to take amazing family vacations.

With our pending trip to Europe this summer and the fact that tickets are sky high, I was eager to hear from Angela about the state of travel and how to find the best deals.  When I interviewed her yesterday, I knew I was talking to an expert.  As Senior Editor of the inspirational travel site Travel-Ticker.com, she won’t publish one that isn’t the best she can find.
