I am certainly not the only one who has left their heart in San Francisco before, which is exactly why I am almost always on the lookout for hot deals to the City by the Bay. Not only do I love the hilly streets, fog rolling in off the bay, Golden Gate bridge, plethora of great restaurants and bars, and mostly the fact that I have many good friends who call the SF their home. All this adds up to be often being on the quest for a cheap flight to San Francisco and great hotel deals in the city. Top Hotel Deals in San Francisco

Temperatures here in Portland are in the triple digits this week and while soaring temperatures may not make you think about snow and ski vacations, now is actually a great time to score a great deal on that annual ski trip. With airfares still low now (though they are starting to creep back up again), booking your winter travel now could potentially save you a whole lot of money on hotel and airfare than if you wait until later in the year. Sure, we’re still in the middle of the summer, but maybe scorching temperatures actually have you missing the snow.

I have made it to the ripe old age of 24 and never once been to Disneyland. Despite growing up on the West Coast, my family usually opted for trips to Europe and Mexico, road trips across the U.S. and other more adventurous trips that never seemed to involved my favorite Disney characters and roller coasters. However, with some of the insane deals you can find right now on Disney vacations, now may just be the time for me to finally pack my mouse ears and go to the land where dreams are made. Sure, I may not want Cinderella’s autograph anymore, but at least I’ll be able to have a few drinks before I get on the rides.

The word “staycation” was officially added to the English Dictionary last week, and this horrid word (and concept) entering the lexicon is reason enough to pack your bags and show your opposition to this move by going on a REAL VACATION. Especially with just about everything in the travel world steeply discounted due to fewer passengers and hotel guests, it is also a great time to take advantage of deals on cheap international travel and leave the country.

It surprised many (even myself) that I had never been to New York until 2 years ago. Despite my resume of tackling big international cities (I had lived in Paris and visited London, Barcelona, Milan, Geneva etc.), I had never seen or experiences one of the most famous cities right here in my own country. After a glorious late summer trip to the Big Apple, I was hooked and knew that my future had to include more trips to NYC, which is why I got super excited when I saw there are so many fabulous New York deals happening right now on everything from flights to hotels.
