Travel Deals Week of May 16 – 22, 2011

Travel deals are something we take serious at TravelingMamas.com. We get tons of emails from companies wanting us to promote their so-called deals, but when we look at the fine print, it really isn’t much of a deal. For this reason, it’s been a while since we’ve promoted any travel special and discounts.

With the high gas prices, many families are choosing to stay home this summer. Families have to make decisions that are best for their individual budgets, but with high gas prices comes lower hotel rates and amazing deals that many other families might want to take advantage of. Here are a few travel deals and specials that have sparked our interest.

Please keep in mind that many of these deals expire quickly and we cannot guarantee any experience you may have with the following companies. We’re posting these deals to pass along great savings to our readers.
