However, the only thing that really stops us from escaping for a couple of days is the finances. You can always travel cheap and eat from smaller places rather than luxurious hotels but it is the stay that needs to not just be comfortable and safe, but also affordable. 

If you really think about it, the main expenditure is made on the stay. But that should not be the reason you give up on your vacation, isn’t it?
