What was sort of disclosed later in a comment reply was the savings come from staying with friends and family. I think the article is misleading, it should mention up front the cost savings come from free loading from staying at friend's house to save on hotel bill, limiting your vacation destinations to where you know somebody. I'll believe the article if the author (or anybody) can show me a budget for 7 day hawaii vacation for family of 5 on June 15, 2008, which is right after kids get out of school. Air fare from SFO or SJC included.
