BUDDIES — THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE (page 104)

We understand that times are tough, and that’s why we want to make your next buddies’ trip memorable without breaking the bank. In this year’s Buddies package, we reveal those destinations across the country with the greatest “shoulder season” discounts. From Scottsdale and Miami to Pinehurst and Central Oregon, don’t be surprised to encounter discounts of 50% or more in some of these markets.

If you need advice on how to get the most out of your next trip, look no further than our Q&A with the winners of our Best Buddies–Trip Planner contest. They’ll fill you in on what makes a great getaway, including whom to bring, where to play, where to stay and how to do it for the best price.
