 A lot of people tend to scoff at the idea of staying at a budget motel. "The EconoLodge is simply not an option!" the think, "We must find somewhere more accommodating!" These sentiments generally rise out of misconceptions surrounding the nature of a budget motel itself. Most people picture a motel that costs under $75.00 a night as being dirty, smelly and full of vice-indulgent hoodlums. However this is not always the case! In fact, you may be surprised to learn of the quality of a room you can along the way to your destination!
It actually makes a lot of sense to stay in a budget motel under certain circumstances. If you happen to be traveling long distances with a few buddies or even by yourself, there is no reason to waste money grabbing an expensive room every night you spend resting from the drive. If youre not trying to impress a significant other and youre only stopping there overnight between long stretches of driving, you wont need more than a clean bed and a TV.

In August 2008 my wife and I enjoyed a European holiday. It was relatively cheap because the Australian dollar was almost par with the US dollar. Not any more! It is now worth less than 70c per US dollar.
It has become very expensive for Australians traveling overseas, but provides a bonanza for international travelers to Australia. Would you enjoy a cup of coffee for around $2US or a quality meal for less than $30US?
2. Cheap international flights.
