Just a note here in case someone here doesn't already do this. Don't forget to research your destination online when you're about to travel.

I'm currently doing that for our road trip in a few months. I am constantly amazed at the coupons I can find when I take the time to pull the hotels, attractions, and restaurants up and then check to see if there's a "coupons and discounts" section on the website.

It's also great to know what particular restaurants serve, the prices, directions, and so on.
