Yes it is actually a family vacation. My husband and will have a 15th wedding anniversary on May 15th and never really had a honeymoon or vacation. We have two children ages 10 and 13 and they have never really had a vaction, because everything is always so expensive, so we are trying to incorporate a honeymoon/vacation togethher.

Ok. If you contact some companies in your areas they may be able to help you if you advertise for them. You know, like some people paint their cars with a company logo and advertising and end up getting a car for free? Have you thought that about that?

I have thought about the logos. I just did’t know if they would help the average person.

I have known people who have gotten free cars and merchandise from companies for advertising for them.

That is all I can think about. But, when you contact them don’t tell them you hope to get a free vacation. Just tell them you want to work for that money advertising for them. I would start with travel agencies seeing that they are related to what you want to do.
