Step 1: Come Up With A Budget & Don't Break It

There are 5 pieces of criteria that make up the cost of your trip: 1. Accommodations - where will you stay? 2. Transportation - how are you getting there? 3. Activities - what will you do? 4. Necessities - what will you eat, drink, need? 5. Extras - how much are you willing to spend on spontaneous costs? If your budget is one thousand dollars, which is honestly plenty for a week away from home, then set your budget and we'll show you how not to break it. Summer 2014 [Photo via]
