SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Since he apparently wrapped up the nomination in February, he has had just one public campaign event on a weekend.

Work weeks have been full of fundraisers, town hall meetings and interviews but McCain, R-Ariz., reportedly has been "down" on nearly every Saturday or Sunday for 20 weeks, Politico, a Washington publication, reports.

He is said to be spending time with family, friends, aides, campaign advisers and contributors at residences in Arlington, Va., Phoenix or vacation homes near Sedona, Ariz. and San Diego, away from the public eye and usually away from the news media.

He has visited troops in Iraq and at Walter Reed Hospital, hosted reporters and donors on separate occasions at his Arizona cabin and done a guest turn on TV's "Saturday Night Live."

But, his lone weekend campaign rally came in April on the steps of the courthouse in Prescott, Ariz.
