Decide your budget
The first you should do is to decide your budget. Remember that you cannot do anything efficiently without planning, thus you must plan properly. In order to plan your vacation, you must start with deciding your budget. You should have a closer look at your financial obligations and earnings, if there are any. A simple way is to sum up all your obligations and subtract them from your savings and this will give you a clear picture of your remaining balance. From this, you can easily decide your budget keeping in mind that you will have other expenditures to incur during the month. -

Purchase plane tickets much sooner
There is a lot of difference in the prices of plane tickets that are purchased at moment than those which are purchased months before. In general, you are likely to get a considerable discount on the plane tickets if you purchase these months before the flight is going to take off. If you want to experience a road trip then renting a car in advance will serve the purpose. Remember that since you will be going in a group form, it will be much easier for you to share the fuel and other expenditures. -
