Anyone has suggestions...been searching Expedia, etc. but I'm sure some of you know of some hidden gems. Most appreciated.

I bought a package to Costa Rica on Ubid.com bout a yr ro so back. vaca was nice and cheap. Good luck

Hi Mr. Walnuts,

I like Yahoo travel. One thing I like about it is that can set up flags directed towards cities of your choice. When a fare to a city goes on sale either below a certain price you get an email. For instance I received one the other day that had a roundtip notifcation from D/FW to LAX for under $130 round trip. Being that American Airlines goes from D/FW non-stop to pretty much anywhere, it was a hell of a deal

They do have vacation packages to on their travel page. http://travel.yahoo.com/

Happy hunting,
K-

For the family Bush Gardens, also all the Disney theme parks are only 45 minutes east. Ybor City area is a cool place to go. It was founded in 1886 and still has hand rolled cigar factories and historical stuff like that, but has a lot of night clubs that get going in the evening.

Y'bor is good for the nightlife. Feels like 2 square miles of bars & clubs & restaraunts. Be aware that they do have some crime problems (car break-ins, purse snatchers, pick-pockets etc) there.
Busch Gardens is just about it for the daytime/family stuff in Tampa.

But, as Krom said, the best thing is that Orlando (Disney & Universal) is only 45 minutes away. I think either of them are better parks than B-G. But then again, I've never forked out the dough to go on the Safari that B-G offers... that'd be something kind of cool & different to try.

that's some bad luck sev. i've been using expedia for about 8 or so years now. i've booked well over 50 flights ranging from vacations in florida and all my trips to vegas, to shuttles from boston to NYC, to business trips to Indianapolis, Vegas and Atlanta.. I've never had a problem and I'd recommend booking w/ Expedia every time. Great prices, great service. Problems occur once in a while w/ all of them, IMO Expedia is solid.

you have a PM..... I can hook you up.

I recently heard of

www.TravelZoo.com

seems like good prices, but really haven't looked into it, or heard about it from anyone

i think there is a site

www.lastminutedeals.com , that is very similar

[pumppumppuk]

for cheap flights www.airgorilla.com I use them all the time and are the cheapest on flights and hotels.

for cruises I found cruisevalue.com the cheapest if you can book 6 + months in advanced. They will book it at a group rate if you book it that early.


on another note, im in the process on opening up a travel agency and should be up and running by the first of the year at the latest. And will cut the meso bro's the best deal I possibly can. I plan on catering to cruise tours, but I will carry hotels, flights, cars, etc. I let everybody know when everything is up and running.

dude i get a fax every morning from some jacksnatch company trying to offer me a cheap trip to orlando or the carribean or the vagina of some red headed Czech whore. If you want I can forward them to you.

You can check out the "Hot Deals" section here - http://www.vacationexpress.com

I have a buddy at the Gym that told me about a trip he just took using this place, went to the Caribbean and said that it was First Rate all the way.

Good Luck

Thanks to all.....we've settled on Cozumel, ha ha I better start getting a ton of sterile Visine bottles ready, I'm going shopping. Man talk about price shopping...we started at Virgin Vacations @ $1900 and made it to Travelocity @ $1480 for the same all inclusive package at the same hotel, same everything. I will check some of the others that you guys have suggested. Never know, the lower you go the better. Never been to Cozumel...I suppose like the rest of Mexico there are some good Pharmacias down there (I hope). Again thanks to all for the responses.
