Traveler is featuring a wonderful piece on 51 clever ways to reduce your
vacation costs. These tips are more than just the "eat where the locals eat" type of advice —
these gems are truly items you may have never considered, such as:
1. If you’re on your honeymoon,
keep it under wraps at first. Travel companies realize that your honeymoon is an event where you’re more likely

2. Don’t wait until the last minute to get or renew your
passport, since often the price for application or renewal increases the less time the government has to process it;

3. Don’t forget to trash the "cookies" in your internet browser
— travel companies may quote you prices higher than what’s available based on your spending history with them, by
simply using your cookies.
Be sure to check this out before your next trip — you never know what you might
save.
