Great tips!!! I thinking bringing your own food is KEY when traveling! I always bring snacks and even packed cereal for my trip to Turks & Caicos! Sounds crazy, but I wanted to see the beautiful Grace Bay Beach and go snorkeling without breaking the bank! :)

Anyway, I recently started a blog to brag about my bargains, hence the name “BargainBrags.blogspot.com.”

My top 3 tips:
1) Use SkyScanner.com to search for lowest priced airfare. (For my last 3 vacations, I paid half price for roundtrip tickets.)
2) Find a hotel you want and use any search engine to look up the lowest possible rate across a multitude of sites – plus sometimes it iss cheapest to call the hotel directly. (My husband was able to get one night free for our honeymoon!)
3) Be your own tour guide with internet resources and a good guide book

Good ideas, but FYI, some hotels will penalize you for cooking in a room without a kitchen. We usually pack a cooler (extra ice from the front desk as mentioned earlier) and try to do the cold food route, or oatmeal or packaged soup mix with water heated in the coffeemaker.

To banking deal community:

travel book to Ireland-

- check whether your library has
any of these
- Roughguide to Ireland
- Lonelyplanet – Ireland edition
- Footprint – Ireland edition

Those 3 publications – could be checked online.

I belong to the Lonelyplanet discussion board,
THORNTREE. Just open an account there,
and ask a lot of questions – go to the Ireland
section, and just ask questions, or
even do your research compilation on the Ireland
section. Lonelyplanet people tend to be
budget oriented, thus leaning toward youth hostel,
bungalow. I get a lot of info from the site most of the times!
Many locals of the specific countries hang out in Lonelyplanet.

I travel on business a TON and I'm able to use my hotel and rental car points as well as frequent flier miles. On our family trips these really come in handy! Always ask the hotel front desk about where to eat on the cheap and what low or no cost entertainment options are in the area. Ans while you're in Austin, be sure and go see the bats that come out from under the bridge downtown. It's the largest urban bat colony in the US and it is impressive when they start coming out ... and it's free.

Using priceline.com for flights and hotels is one way to save money. I regularly get hotels 1/2 off.

Oh Also, SXSW ends on March 22. I think you were referring to just the Interactive portion ending March 17.
