As a user of Twitter, I often see people reaching out and asking one another who they should use for cheap flights, cars, airfare, etc. I know I am always looking for the best deal out there for my family. With four of us, it can get quite pricey. I recently came across a cheap discount holidays site that if you are looking for vacation in the UK and want to save a few bucks, you should check out. They have several links to sites that will give you quotes on everything you will need for the perfect vacation. They have some links for places here in the United States like Las Vegas and Orlando too. I think I even saw a link for Mexican vacations (we almost went to Mexico instead of Arizona this last Feb. but Arizona was cheaper). They make it super easy for you to compare and for you to get the best deal since you are cutting out the middleman. The site is super easy navigate and find what you are looking for so check it when researching your next vacation.

If we ever go back to Arizona, I have heard that we should check out rocky point rentals. It is located about an hour drive from the Arizona border. These condos and house rentals are located on a beach in a resort town also known as Puerto Penasco. I have heard that they have some great fishing (for the boys) and great shopping (for the girls). It is a resort town, so there really is something there for everyone. I also heard that the gas prices there are more than a dollar cheaper per gallon (which makes it worth the drive)! Who wouldn’t want the view above from their room? This will be a place we are going to check out if we head West again.

Even though its still summer here in Chicago, I like to think about how I would love to spend our winter vacation. While its below zero here, I would love to go to a place like the French Polynesian islands. Tahiti sounds absolutely wonderful. Did you know that there are 2 volcanoes there (which I would love to go see) and that by car it takes about 6 hours to go from one end of the island to the other (and this is without stopping)? You could easily spread out traveling the island over a week or more. There are several places to stop like their colorful market, art and history museums, botanical and flower gardens, animated nightlife, and cultural exhibitions. The picture to the left is one of the three waterfalls that can be found here too. The resorts are spectacular. I was not sure what I was expecting when I was checking out some of the amenities, but a lot of their resorts have high speed internet, babysitting, currency exchange, etc. Pretty much, they have every kind of hotel that will fit your needs. If you want fancy, they have it. If you want one that just has a bed for you to sleep in at night, they have that too. I can definitely see my family and me spending a few Tahiti Holidays here. How about you?

Not everyone stays in a hotel when they go on vacation. I know several people who look into vacation rentals by owner when they are heading out on vacation. Instead of staying in a stuffy hotel, they get to be comfortable in someone else’s house. The owners sometimes use their second home for this or if you live near an event (like the Olympics) will give up their primary home. I know if Chicago gets the Olympics that I will definitely be looking into vacation rentals. We will find someplace else to live for that month! The cool thing about home rentals is that they are available all over the place: you can find Florida rentals all the way up to Alaska rentals. Pretty much anywhere you want to go, you can find a rental property.
When you use Vacation Home Rentals, you are able to see exactly what you are getting. There are pictures, a list of what the house has, and how much they are wanting monthly, weekly, daily, etc. For example, the house that I have pictured above rents for $700 a night, $3,100 a week, or $15,000 a month. It has 4 bedrooms and 4 bath. It has full listing of all the amentities like high speed internet access and the activities that are located in the area. Now, if this is little above your price range, there are tons of other listings you can choose from. They have houses, condos, and apartments that you can choose from for your rental.
Next time you go are planning a vacation, check out Vacation Home Rentals.

While checking out Luggage Online, it definitely looks like Travelpro Luggage is the way to go. With 851 reviews, they score 4 stars on all the important categories such as durability, design, buy again, overall, etc. The picture you see to the left here is one of the Travelpro luggage sets that I really like. at a sale price of $152.96, it is a great deal. You can get it in black or blue (and honestly, I would go with blue. Everybody has black luggage, and it makes it incredibly difficult at the airport to figure out which luggage is yours!) I love all the extra storage pockets. I like to be organized and this would allow me to do so. All these suitcases also fit into one another, so they are a spacesaver once you get home. Besides this cool luggage set, Travelpro does have several other kinds of luggage — from duffle bags to computer briefcases on wheels. There is a little something for everyone here, so make sure you check out Travelpro Luggage the next time you need luggage.

Bill and I have been struggling this whole summer so far trying to decide where to take the kids on vacation this year. With my kids only being 4 and 1, it is a hard call. I do not want to be spending a ton of money on a trip they are not going to remember. That being said and with gas prices being so high, we have decided to stay home and vacation. We live right next to Chicago, and never have any time to enjoy it! Being that Bill hates to drive downtown more than he has to, we are looking at staying maybe one night (maybe even two) with the kids downtown. There is a ton of stuff to do in Chicago like Navy Pier, Children’s Museum, The Museum of Science and Industry, The Aquarium, and The Field Museum. This is just a few things that are just a few blocks away from one another. On top of there being a ton of things to do, there area also a ton of hotels to pick from. I personally think we need one with a pool and continental breakfast if we have the kids with. I love that Hotels Combined has the ability to search on the very parameters that I want. It makes it so easy to find exactly what I want. Our plan is to become a tourist in our very own town and visit all the places we never have time for!
