Does anyone know if state or national parks offer discounts to teachers?

Q. And I don't mean for field trips, because I know they do for that, I mean for personal use. Do they offer discounts for lodging, camping, admission, things like that? Thanks for any info!!!!!

A. I doubt it for that purpose but anyone can get a National Park Pass for $80 which is a significant discount over the individual entrance fees.

That state passes will be handled by each state.
The State of California has several different pass options.

What is the best way to visit colleges if I live in Miami?
Q. I live in Miami, but I want to visit some colleges this summer in North Carolina, Virginia, DC, NYC, and New England.

I think Amtrak is pretty much the best, or most reasonable way, but are there any services I can use to plan it? Any discounts for someone using these services for the purpose of visiting colleges?

Any advice from someone whose done it?

A. You can us the Multi-City tool on Reservations. I've used this for multiple cross-county trips with stops before. It can get confusing, though. Make a calendar page for yourself and write-in where you are when, and how you are traveling there.

Find an Amtrak Travel Specialist at one of your local travel agencies. They can help you book both trains and lodging.

You can join Student Advantage and get 15% off Amtrak and Greyhound (and all sorts of other places). I think the card is $22.50 per year, so it's a no-brainer for you. Spend $150 between Amtrak and Greyhound, ant the card had paid for itself.

Does anyone know how I can get a discount or coupon for Best Western Hotel?
Q. I'm desperately trying to plan a coupld days away for my family but can't afford the high price of hotels these days. Does anyone know of a way to get a good discount at a Best Western Hotel? A free night would be fantastic even. I've been online for hours and can't find anything. :o(

A. Get the gold crown club card at Best Western,

you build up points the more you stay

Or tell them you are booking out of a AAA lodging book

having AAA insurance gets you a discount at most lodgings and hotels in CA to UTAH
