Cheap Vacations
Cheap vacations can be great, if you do some planning. You tend to remember vacations by what you saw and did. And if you're seeing the grand vistas and natural wonders of Arizona, it doesn't need to be expensive. Our best cheap vacations were tent-trailer camping at Ashurst Lake near Flagstaff, Arizona. That was long before we bought a home in the area. What were our worst cheap (The link at the bottom of this page will lead you to a heartfelt description of our worst cheap vacation.) The South of Flagstaff area is well located to serve as your base for day trips to several of the most famous places in the world. Some you will recognize by name, others by their unique landmarks.
Others you'll know when you see them because you've seen them in movies all your life.
Trailer or Tent-trailer camping South of Flagstaff is very enjoyable and can be your base for day trips, fishing, or just relaxing.

camping in the Coconino National Forest campgrounds is readily available.
If you don't have a tent or camping trailer, and aren't inclined to rent one, there is a good cheap vacation alternative that I've used.
Before I-40 came through town some years ago, Flagstaff had the most famous highway in the U.S. running right through town. That would be Route 66.
As you would expect, Route 66 boasted a number of motels, both east and west of
downtown.
The heavy traffic is on I-40 now, but several of the motels are still doing well catering to cheap vacation visitors.
We'll focus on those west of downtown... near the top-center of the map.
A few of these motels are:
Entering Flagstaff from the I-40 / I-17 interchange
puts you on Milton Road, so it's easy to find. Travel north several blocks to
the motel area near Route 66. If

I once stayed at the Highland Country Inn, and found it to be very adequate. I expect that the others are also.
South of Flagstaff Arizona is a great place for your next cheap vacation.

Cheap vacations
warning! Be careful when making reservations. Ask lots of questions.
Ask about trains, planes, automobiles, and any other kind of traffic you can
imagine may be nearby... like taverns. Hearty party people can keep you awake as
much as a locomotive.
Ask about the beds if you need a long one. Find out how close or far the nearest
restaurant and phone is located. Cheap
vacations are great fun when you do your homework.
Many resorts offer last
minute deals that are heavily discounted. Find a real deal at
the Last
Minute Vacation Guide.
A Google search using the keyword phrase cheap vacation + singles
or cheap vacation + family
returns interesting listings and ads.
