Hi!

I use a variety of websites for travel hotels, airfare & car rentals:

www.qixo.com
www.travelhero.com
www.mobissimo.com
www.kayak.com

For hotels, we like travelhero since it has reviews and great pictures, nearby attractions, etc.

We booked our June OR trip airfare on qixo since they were the cheapest in September.

To get a gauge of good airfare prices, you may want to try www.bestfares.com. While this is a member site - it offers a Quick Fare Finder on the left that lets you enter your home airport and the destination. You are then brought to a page with the top section being non-member pricing and the next section for members. Don't forget to click on the individual fares to get exclusion dates and how long before leaving you must order.

Hope this helps,

Mark

PS. If you want to get real aggressive with car rental - take the lowest price you find on the net and call to see if they can better their price or are running any specials.

We recently needed a 2 month rental and it would have cost us $2000+ if we had picked up the car at the airport. Saved almost 1000 by going just outside the airport, same car, same agency - Enterprise. Seems some airports charge a premium on rentals picked up on site. Look around for a rental pickup in the burbs or away from the city center. Take a cab to get your rental or in some cases they will come and pick you up. Nor
