I don't know about you, but I have cabin fever. And my kids have it really bad. Every day they ask, "When will it be spring? When will it be warm?" More than anything, though, they want to go on a trip -- to the beach, Disney World, anywhere.

I wouldn't mind a little getaway myself (don't think it's going to happen anytime soon, though). So for my weekly roundup, I decided to gather tips on how to get away on a budget and save money while you travel.
