I want to invite you to share your favorite travel websites. Do you have a travel service you would like to share with fellow travelers?

Hi Cherie, and all!

Travelzoo is a great site- they have a weekly "top 20' travel deals that they will e-mail to you, gleaned from many, many websites. Saves alot of time as they do all the work searching! Bookingbuddy is an affiliate (I think), and they do the same- search a bunch of websites and pass on the info of the best deals to us.
Check them out- they often get word of "un-advertised" specials an airfares, etc...
Happy travels!

Hi Cherie,

Viscape.com (http://viscape.com) is a new social media site revolving around vacationing and vacation homes. At Viscape, you can connect with other travelers, plan group trips, find a vacation home, and get advice on where to go on your next trip.

Hi Cherie and everyone,
I'd like to invite you all to visit my travel blog, Journeys Near and Far (http://www.journeysnearandfar.com). It's a mix of travel tips and posts about the different countries I've visited both for fun and as a travel writer. Also, if you like cruising, my friend Clark has a cruise blog, Smarter Cruising with Clark Norton (http://smartercruising.blogspot.com/) where you can get a lot of detailed information about cruising.
