An insightful article by the NY Times Frugal Traveler on how to travel frugally without going overboard. I remember, many years back now, taking the bus from Washington DC where I was a Congressional Intern, to Williamsburg, Virginia. Upon arrival at Colonial Williamsburg, I was shocked by the cost for a day pass to the site and, instead, opted for a pay-as-you-go scheme, not realizing how costly that would run. Ended up only going into a couple of the buildings there, running up a tab almost as high as the full-day admission would have been, and catching the bus back to DC that evening, a couple of bucks richer but infinitely poorer in terms of experience. I still remember that experience to this day and try not to short-change the experiences of travel to save a few bucks here and there.
