A single mom from England has saved a fortune by taking her kids out of school during term time to go for vacations abroad and said she stands by her decision and will do it again.
Rachel Smith, 33, has been on four holidays so far with her children, Brayden, 11, and Elianna, 9, and has saved an estimated £10,000 (approx. US$12,750) in the process. In her experience, missing school to make the most of cheaper off-peak flight and hotel deals has been worth it even though she has had to face disapproval and a £60 (approx. US$70) fine per child each time.
