To do that I am staying at a moderate instead of a deluxe. I am not taking a towncar at home and opting to drive myself to the airport and parking at a garage. I am considering using the free Magical Express, but havent' decided yet. I may bring some snacks for the room to avoid that cost and am not going to do as many sit-down meals, but I really hate getting into the serious cutting. It doesn't feel like vacation if I have to worry about every cent....it's more stressfull and less entertaining to me. I will just forgo day trips again this summer and avoid my spur of the moment shopping binges in order to save for this trip. If I have to start worrying about buying a beer at the bar, then it's time to stop going on vacation for me. That's just not fun to me....my opinion only. To each their own. I am not judging anyone.

I drove and parked at Philly airport last year. I found a garage online and printed an online coupon and put it aside. I will PM you the information when I find it but Iam heading to bed now. It was a pretty good price/deal. They bring you in the van to the airport and handle your baggage. The only thing I didn't like was that the lot was over FULL and they parked my brand new Jeep off-site somewhere and waited forever for them to go get it.... Ok... it wasn't forever, I just exaggerated but hey it was COLD here when we got back home in November, LOL!
