Vacations - Save With Off Peak Travel
The European Environment Information and Observation Network
(EIONET) defines traveling off-peak as "traveling outside
rush-hours to avoid overcrowding in public means of transport."
This sounds all too simple and as we might expect - easier said
than done. For both air and car travel, avoid the crowds by
traveling during the week, especially from Tuesday through
