How to Get Away Part 2: Down by the River

Kayla has now thrown two posts up here about “inexpensive” vacations. As far as big trips go cruises are a good deal if you do the things she talks about, but it’s important to note that we recognize an average of $250/day/person isn’t doable for most folks, especially those of the Millennial persuasion.
