With the return of a growing economy, this years vacation expectations are one of the best on record. Airlines, hotels, and all of the travel industry have taken note and are ready. Past the great recession, lesser availability of all resources has driven costs much higher, especially for those waiting until the last-minute.
Planning as far in advance as possible and making use of our favorite sites may help cushion the blow/expense:
Homeaway.com
Kayak.com
Travelocity.com
Compare all airlines, recently even Virgin a premium carrier was caught running low cost fairs
No one says a vacation has to be expensive to be fun!
