travel zoo--great travel deals


I really like to travel, but with 4 kids, it gets a little expensive. We go to Michigan every winter and visit Mike's family. We go to Maine every summer; we have a "camp" there. I use camp loosely because I don't really know what to call it. It was originally my great grandfather's barn. In the mid 90s, my Uncle fixed it up and turned it into a hunting camp...but it's pretty nice. When my Uncle died in 2002, we offered to buy it...and well, the rest is history. We try to incorporate our side vacations into the Maine trip...this year we are planning to stop in the Boston area on the way up. Anyway...I have looked (and continue to look) at a bazillion different discount travel websites on a regular basis. http://www.travelzoo.com/ is one of the best. If you sign up to get thie weekly top 20 deals e-mailed to you, I think you will be as shocked as I was. Here is this weeks sample:

Now, obviously, I won't be using any of these anytime soon...but you get the idea. And if you are willing and able to travel in the off seaon, so can get WOW deals. I mean, even right now, roundtrip tickets from NC to Boston are $112.00. Makes me want to jump on a plane!


Happy Savings!
