• We're Traveling Mamas sharing our adventures with the world. We offer tips on great (and not so great) places to visit with children and how to have the best family vacations -- but it's not all about the kids, of course! Romantic escapes, girlfriend getaways, and solo trips are also important to us. Plus, we cover industry news and review travel gear, and we love to give things away!

    Winning Wednesday - SmartyPig

    By CajunMama | April 9, 2008

    Piggy Bank by jpre86It’s Winning Wednesday at TravelingMamas.com and you guys know how we just love to give stuff away. This week we asked the question, “How do you finance your vacation?”

    We had a great response, with most readers stating they save up their money in various ways.

    A few of you charge your vacations and then worry about paying them off later. One or two readers mentioned that they would use the stimulus checks to finance a getaway. Mary says she robs Peter to pay Paul. I’m sure we’ve all had to do that at some point.

    My favorite overall comment comes of Ed Nemmers, who wishes he had a sugar daddy. Me too, Ed. Me too.

    Our winner for this contest is Lisa Fosses, who saves for her travel by working a side job. Lisa, you can now start an online savings account with a $50 gift card from SmartyPig.

    Congratulations to Lisa and thanks to everyone who left a comment. Be sure to check out our many posts about places to travel this summer. TravelingMamas.com offers travel tips and stories about Budget Travel all the way to Luxury Getaways.

    So, dream of where you’ve always wanted to go and save up to make it happen.
