One way to minimize the cost of a trip to Texas is to purchase a vacation package deal and/or use the special features available on priceline.
For instance, you can easily get a round trip flight, hotel, and car package from San Francisco to Houston for less than $500 per person, if you book all three together online. From there, you can take ground transportation to the in-state destinations of your choice.
Using the Name-Your-Own-Price feature on priceline can save up to 40 percent on the cost of plane tickets, and up to 60 percent on hotel rates.
You can save even more money by booking all of your travel arrangements at least two weeks in advance.
You can also scan craigslist for vacation rentals, sublets, housing swaps, trailer parks, campsites, converted vehicles, and countless other alternative lodging options.
To get started, simply visit Priceline, search your desired dates and destination, then click the "Name Your Own Price" option.
Beware that certain rules apply to naming your own price on priceline.
For example, no changes can be made to your itinerary, no part of your payment can be refunded, and you don't always get to choose a specific hotel.
