One way to maximize our exploration without completely detroying our budget is to make "stop-overs" and "pop-overs." Flying directly to our destination is often not the cheapest route, so we always consider flying to a "nearby" city with a "stop-over" and changing transporation to our final destination. This has been a great way to "test drive" a new city at little or no additional cost!

Once we arrive at our "final destination", if we have the time, we will frequently "pop-over" to nearby places that we'd like to explore. "Nearby" is relative here. If we've flown 5,000 miles, then we feel that adding a 3-hour car trip is definitely nearby!
