We are a family with two kids and a grandma...total of 5 people. How do i go about finding the cheap hotel reservations? Any tips for finding cheap hotel in miami? Should I hop around sites taking notes and just hope for the best or would it be better to contact to a travel agent? (I'd rather not do that, unless it's cheaper) Truthfully, i'd like to save as much money as possible since we are really stretching our budget just for the sake of some summer R&R, for us and the kids. On that note...does anyone know of any safe but cheap fun places for kids? Any suggestions would be helpful and i thank u in advance...and just FYI...my husband is a graphic artist/muralist, and i am a stay-at-home-mom, hence the limited budget! We live in deep south texas. I looking for cheap hotel reservations in Miami, florida.
