It's time to face it. The dream vacation for most of us may not be quite fit into our financial possibilities. However, having persistent determination, diligence and discipline means that your dream vacation could be much closer than you may think. Here are 3 easy steps to your dream vacation.

Have you thought about joining a home exchange program? You simply cannot get any better than free when it comes to a dream vacation. Home exchange programs allow you to swap homes with other home-owners in your dream vacation destination. This means you save on costs of accommodations! There are several excellent home exchange websites that provide great information about swapping homes. We recommend "Travel The Home Exchange Way" and "Know Your Trade" . There is no better way to fast forward to a dream vacation!

How about if you put your credit cards to work for you. In one way or the other, just about everyone uses credit cards so as long as you are going to use one, why not let it work for you? What you can do is get a credit that allows you to accumulate credit-card miles which you can also use for free travel awards, travel upgrades and many other luxuries you may otherwise have to dish out large sums of cash for. First, you need to find out if your current credit card offers any travel rewards before you make your next charge. It is time for a switch if this is not the case. There are a lot of credit cards that award cruise vacation points or hotel points and even airline miles.

You need to be careful. Making unnecessary charges on these travel award cards merely to get a free airline ticket should be avoided. Use the travel reward cards to pay for necessary expenses! Using the card to make purchases you would have made with cash is the trick here. Then, every month, you can pay off the card to a zero balance. That way, you made a purchase you would have made with cash anyway PLUS are piling up points toward great travel awards.

You should liquidate unnecessary assets. Free accommodations and a free airline ticket is what you finally have. What do you do about spending money? Most of us can find stuff that we seldom or never use all around the house. Why not sell it and use that cash as spending money on your dream vacation? By using Craigslist and Ebay to you sell stuff you no longer use or need, you can hold a virtual yard sale. Remember, one man's "junk" is another man's "treasure".

You may be enjoying your dream vacation much sooner than you think if you follow these three easy steps. This is definitely as easy as 1 2 3.
