It happens all the time - you're young, married, blissfully happy, and virtually penniless. You've taken your honeymoon already, but a few months later find yourselves in desperate need for a quick getaway. Although, how can you afford it? Hotels are expensive and a nice Bed and Breakfast is way out of your budget. Not true. You'd actually be surprised at the number of high-quality, affordable getaway deals you can find when you know where to look. Here are several ways to get you and your sweet heart away for an escape without breaking your budget.

1. Do a search on your favorite search engine for "getaway packages" in your specific town. If no results yield then expand out to your region or near by cities. You'll probably be surprised what you can find. Most cities or hotels like to offer a special romance package to locals at a very reasonable price and usually include such bonuses as dinner, breakfast and nice room amenities.

2. Call your local chamber of commerce. Most of the time they know about the special deals that different hotels offer in your area, and if they don't they can point you in the right direction.

3. If you live near such casino gaming cities like Reno, Las Vegas, or Atlantic City you can find an abundance of free entertainment and great lodging deals year round, especially during the off season. These packages usually come with free food and perks. If these cites are only a few short hours away, then have a fun road trip to your hotel making sure to check out free or inexpensive sites along the way. You never know what kind of adventure is out there!

4. You may also want to consider a cruise for two, especially if you can easily drive to your cruise ship's port-of-call. There are often very good specials on cruises throughout the year - especially last minute deals. Plus with food and entertainment already included in the price, cruises often end up being much cheaper than a regular vacation, if you can stay away from the casino. Check frequently on travel sites such as Travelocity and Orbitz for these deals. They can be one of the most relaxing and at the same time most enjoyable all-in-one getaways you'll ever have.

It's easy to getaway often and for any kind of reason with great deals from hotels, casinos, and cruise lines. Just remember to be creative and thorough in your search and you'll be sure to find that perfect escape for the perfect price!
