Think you can’t afford to travel this summer?

What if all you had to do was give up your daily latte to make it happen?

Or how about brown-bagging your lunch, foregoing that cute new pair of shoes, or putting off a gym membership for another couple of months?

The point is, you can travel!

Check out Travelmuse.com’s new Yaycation* calculator, which figures out how you can add to the travel fund by cutting back on the little things.

As a bonus, if you join TravelMuse and plan a trip before June 15, you’ll be entered to win a two-night stay at any Kimpton hotel and $500 to spend on your travels.

Runners up can win a copy of Peter’s latest book, Tough Times, Great Travels, which tells you exactly how to find great travel experiences even turning tough economic times.

*Yay·ca·tion [yāy-’kā-shən] (n) - the result of beating the odds to get away, relax and spend quality time with your nearest and dearest. Particularly satisfying when the economy “sucks.”
