DISCOUNT TRAVEL RESOURCES

In this rough economy, everyone is trying to save a buck. Finding the best deals on travel (i.e., airfare, hotels, rental cars, etc.) is something that has become easier for consumers thanks to the internet. Expedia, Hotwire, Orbitz, Priceline, and Travelocity are a few of the more popular travel comparison sites. Numerous other online resources [perhaps less familiar] are available - here are just a sampling for you to peruse ...
