Expedia has done us all a favor

If you are at all unsure of where you want to go, Expedia’s new Top Destinations page could really come in handy: Top Travel Deals at Expedia.com

Instead of poking around hoping for a good deal to the place you have in mind, now Expedia reverses the process and shows you all the places they have great deals for at the moment. I have some time off coming up soon and I’m not sure where I want to go, so a list like this is a godsend.

You can look at a scroll of all the hot deals on the top right corner of the page. How about a Holland America 7-night cruise for $449? I’ve been thinking about taking a cruise lately and I can’t believe prices are so low. Sure, I know it’s an interior cabin and there are a few extra charges in addition to that price, but that’s just a little over $60 per day!

If the food is included, as it tends to be on these boats, then I’m already a winner. If I went to Europe right now I’d spend $60 on breakfast alone with the exchange rate, and that’s likely to be just a croissant and some jam with coffee. When I’m on vacation I can easily eat $60 worth of food each day, so in this case everything else is a bonus. If you are the food buyer for Holland America, you may want to up your order a bit soon.
