It’s about that time of year to start thinking about your spring break plans—and this year is better than any to take advantage of the struggling economy and score an amazing deal to Mexico. Plus, with the peso down, everything in Mexico will be even cheaper than usual (translation: pitcher of margaritas versus a margarita). And, what better company to book your spring break vacation with than a company that has “fun” in the name? 
It’s a bit depressing for me to write about how to score great deals on tickets to sporting events after watching my team (the Denver Broncos) hand off their trip to the playoffs by losing their last three games of the season, but for all of you sports fans out there whose teams may or may not still be in the playoffs, there are some great deals available on tickets to sporting events on Stub Hub. Whether you want to watch teeth get knocked out at a hockey game, get tickets to watch your favorite baler dunk the ball, or go to a NFL playoff game, stub hub has tickets to it all.
With so much to look forward to in the early winter months, I inevitably end up feeling incredibly disappointed when the holiday season is over and I’m back at the daily grind with a whole lot of winter left and not a whole lot to look forward to besides rainy February days. Sometimes all you need to get you through those long winter months is a getaway to look forward to—especially one to sunny California, where the winters are mild and the sun is always shining. 
With an unusually thick blanket of snow covering the Pacific northwest right now, it is hard to think about much other besides riding big powder and hitting the slopes. With many people canceling their ski vacations this winter in light of a shaky economy, ski resorts are having to offer up some pretty great prices on lift tickets and lodging to encourage people to still hit the slopes this winter despite the crippling economic situation. That means that you could be cutting fresh tracks this winter for a whole lot less money then possible in the past. 
My mom once told me that “poor would never look so good on me,” while I was in college, and she sure was right. I may have no money and no accumulated wealth yet, but at least I have my youth. Another bonus to being young? Cheap airline tickets. Right now STA is having some pretty fantastic deals on airfares, including some round-trip fares starting at under $100 for students and non-students under 26. 
The weather seems to be quite frightful around the country this week, and with unprecedented levels of snow falling here in Portland, a vacation somewhere warm and tropical is sounding quite nice right about now. With an economic recession in the works, a beach getaway is actually affordable this year. Fewer people traveling means lower prices to just about any destination, and Expedia is offering some fantastic deals to just about every destination right now (including the warm ones). 
The peso is continuing to fall to record lows against the U.S. dollar, which means a Mexican vacation just may be in the cards this winter. In fact, with falling travel prices on pretty much everything (cheaper flights and cheaper hotels) you could be laying on beach in the near future for a whole lot less money than you though possible. 
While many people are busy worrying about the faltering economy (which according to some experts has yet to bottom out), fewer travelers are pulling out their wallets and booking vacations. That means that there are huge discounts out there available for those who are still making travel a financial priority (I know I am). This includes a deal on United for 25% off your companion’s flight when you book a vacation by December 31. 
Are you still clamoring to attend the inauguration this January? Although many are desperate to find those scarce inauguration tickets and many people competing over hotel rooms, Travelocity is offering some deals on D.C. hotel rooms right now. Plus, if you want to experience some of the history and buzz of the city, but don’t want to fight crowds, you can head to the capital before or after the inauguration and see the newly restored Old Glory flag at the Smithsonian and watch Congress in action.
