Whenever you’re planning a trip, if you’re anything like most of the budget travelers we know, the first thing you want to know is whether you can get a deal. Travel can get expensive, so it only makes sense to try to get the best prices on whatever you can. Never is this more true than when you’re planning a trip over a big holiday or to see a major event – like, for instance, the Kentucky Derby, held on the first Saturday in May every year.
Vacation packages seem like the perfect solution to the busy person who still wants to have a holiday – and when they center around an event that you really want to see, all the better. Or is it?
The Kentucky Derby may be known as the “most exciting two minutes in sports,” but thankfully there’s much more to a trip to see the Kentucky Derby than just those two minutes.
Since 1875, people have been converging on Louisville, Kentucky for an annual event pitting some of the fastest horses anywhere against each other in what’s become known as the “most exciting two minutes in sports.” The Kentucky Derby is a Louisville institution, and today it serves as something of a throw-back to days gone by – complete with overly fancy hats and drinks.
