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

International travel is cheap right now
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. In fact, airfare to some international destinations (like Australia) are down as much as 50% or more. Vayama.com – Save up to 63% on international flights.
Cheap New York Travel Deals
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.

Deals on Disney Vacation Packages
I astonished my friends last weekend when I informed them that I had never been to Disneyland. “You’ve made it 24 years without ever having gone to Disney?” was pretty much the universal response I got when I told them I had never, in fact, been to Disneyland in Southern California. Realizing I had yet to go where dreams are made, I decided that maybe it was about time I start looking into some deals to the Disney. Luckily, the down travel market has meant for some really great deals at Disney, with discounts and special offers aplenty. Disney Dreams Lead The Way!
Free Paris stop-overs on Air France flights
I am a big fan of a few things: finding that item you’ve wanted to ages is 50% off, multi-leg trips and extended vacations/travel and anything and everything that has to do with France—which is why the latest offer on Air France allowing free stopovers in Paris when you book a multi destination trip made me jump for joy. It knocks 2 things off of my above list right off, leaving me only to go in search if a killer outfit and marked down prices to make it a full trifecta of wonderful. Air France offers free stopovers in Paris.
3-night flight + hotel vacation packages for under $300
I have been known to suffer from some pretty serious post-travel blues. Despite the fact that almost no one will ever feel sorry for you after you return from a long and fabulous vacation and head back to work, it can be really tough dealing with being back from you adventures and sitting back in a desk chair. This is why I often find myself needing little weekend vacations peppered throughout my year to tied me over until the next big trip (one of the great suggestions in the article 10 Tips on Beating the Post-Travel Blues). Especially with 3-day flight and hotel packages for less than $300, you can also totally afford these little getaways while still saving for the next adventure.

Hawaii deals just keep getting better
Hawaii’s been on mind a whole lot lately. Maybe that’s because I keep seeing insane deals on flights to and hotels in the islands, or maybe it’s because I’ve been craving a beachy and wonderfully tropical vacation, but it’s been really hard resisting buying a ticket to the islands and jetting off for a few days of fun in the sun. Especially with prices as low as they have been and great deals with cash back bonuses, now is also the perfect time to take advantage of the deals and head out on your own island getaway. SAVE up to $250 to Hawaii!

Hot summer deals on Vegas vacations
While the age of digital cameras and social networking sites have pretty much done away with the notion that anything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas (now it’s more like anything that happens in Vegas…later gets posted on facebook), that doesn’t mean you can’t have a hellaciously good time in Sin City. Especially with so many great deals and insane special at hotels on the strip, you also shouldn’t have a hard time booking your Vegas vacation for a whole lot less money than you thought (less money on hotel = more money for booze and gambling).
