Summer is the perfect time for a weekend getaway. If you are thinking about hopping in the car and just going, here are a few tips to try.

Be Spontaneous: being spontaneous with your destination can save you a bit of money. Many travel sites offer last minute discounts on hotels and vacation packages. So find a site and let the best deal be your destination.

Pack snacks: packing snacks will save you money and can be a lifesaver. If you are driving on your tips, having to stop will kill time. And having a few snacks here and there can also help you save money on meals.

Turn off your phone: or at least put it in airplane mode. Being present and aware during your trip will make it a memorable one.
