Top Ten US Destinations for Travel Bargains
Going on a bargain vacation doesn’t mean you have to spend a week a fleabag hotel off of an interstate in the middle of nowhere. In fact, some of the cheapest places to travel in the United States are also the most popular and desirable. The good folks over at Hotwire have compiled a list of the top ten destinations for bargain travelers. And the winners are:
1. Denver, Colorado
2. Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina
3. Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
4. Knoxville, Tennessee
5. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Sarasota, Florida
6. Albuquerque-Santa Fe, New Mexico
7. Orlando-Daytona Beach, Florida
8. Reno, Nevada
9. Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
10. Los Angeles, California
Not a bad list in my opinion. If you are interested in finding the best hotel rates for any of these cities, the first place you should go is to the magnificent hotel finder.
Canada is lovely in the Fall
By now, you have probably heard that Canada invented the maple leaf. It is true. Just look at the Canadian flag.
The cool thing about leaves is that they change colors in the autumn and that even applies to trees north of the border. If you have never been to Canada in the fall, you haven’t really lived life. Beautiful country, friendly people and lots of opportunities to commune with trees. The city life ain’t so bad either. Ideally, you’ll mix in a little bit of both.
United Airlines is making pretty darn easy for you to experience Canada. For about the price of some maple syrup, you can fly from the United States to Canada for a long weekend or for some serious, hardcore leaf peeping. Go ahead and treat yourself to a trip. The leaves will be lonely if they don’t see you.
Summer Storm Season
The stormy summer months have been causing havoc for airlines around the country.
With another month of storms still on the forefront, hundreds of flights have been delayed, canceled or re-routed because of torrential rainfall in the Midwest and Northeast.
If traveling this summer, give yourself ‘emergency backup plans’, especially if you have a connecting flight, where you might find your luggage still on the ground at home and you halfway to your destination.
Get contacts of people who live in the area, or know which hotel you plan to call for a warm bed - or what corner of the airport you plan to sleep in.
