KAYAK

Kayak.com has an amazing feature that lets you see a map of the world and the lowest airfares from your city to anywhere and everywhere.

Skyscanner

I’ve been using Skyscanner for years now, and it’s simply the best airfare booking site, especially when searching with flexible dates.

Where you stay while on vacation can make or break your experience

My advice is to think about the following before booking your accomodation:

1) LOCATION - If you are far from the action, you will end up spending more in transportation fees.

It pays to stay where you can take a short walk to tourist sites.

2) Amenities - Do you need a kitchen, pool, air conditioning, restaurant, onsite convenience store.

3) Read the fine print - Be sure to check on the senior discounts, cancellation policies and reviews.

airbnb

airbnb.com is my only choice if I want to book a home to stay in. This way I have all the amenities I need, kitchen, pool and great location with all the comforts of home. This is also perfect when we travel with other couples or our grandkids.

trivago

Trivago.com is one of the easists booking websites for me to compare pricing or find the hotel I want that fits my budget.

HotelsCombined

HotelsCombined.com is hands down my preferred search engine for booking hotels. Its so easy to navigate and gives me the best hotels with great deals.
