So as the economy continues to suck and the 99% continue to tighten their belts, included me. I've been trying to figure out a way to get my travel obsession met. I do have my free flights and I plan to fly up to Seattle in a few weeks but for the most part I need cheap travel options.
So for people like me who love and need to travel, as well as desperately trying to escape housewives and stay at home moms, I'm starting the PROJECT GAS TANK.
Most of us these days don't have the type of discretionary income to travel that we perhaps once did. However I do think that the majority of us can afford to fill up our gas tank.
I have a little old Hyundi Elantra. Her tank costs about $55 to fill up and she can get about 300 to 350 miles to her tank. So this is my plan:
For the rest of this year I am going to see what places I can find and adventures I can have on a tank of gas. Being that I live in LA that means I have to find places to visit within a 150 mile radius as I still need the other 150 miles to get back home. The plan is to not fill up during the trip, so i can take trips that don't fully use up my tank they just can't go over.
We spend so much time...well I do...looking at exotic brochures of wonderful and very expensive vacations but with a lack of funds I'm excited to discover what hidden treasures are in my own back yard.
