What's your favorite travel steal you've ever found?
Since I spend all my free time obsessing about travel anyway, I started a blog about my favorite travel bargains -- ones I've found on vacation and ones I've stumbled across while planning.
Since I get half my ideas from Fodorites anyway, I'd love it if you guys would give me suggestions -- cheap restaurants, free attractions, great (or kitschy) budget hotels, and so on.
If you want to check it out and give me opinions, the address is www.aviophile.com. I'd love to get opinions and ideas. (Please don't flame me -- this isn't an ad!! I seriously don't make a single penny off the website. It's just my fave distraction right now
)

Faina -- nope, but I'll check 'em out! It's not a comprehensive list -- more like, when I see something really interesting (and wallet-friendly) mentioned on this board or in a magazine or on another travel website, I put up a post about it. Thanks for the suggestions

I have those exact Kino sandals from Key West in navy and in white. I love them, and get tons of compliments on them. They're about 13 years old and still look like new. It's worth a trip just to pick up some sandals . . . well, almost! (Mine were only $7.)

Oh, also, my co-worker didn't know about (gasp) the Kayak website. And maybe some newby needs to know that Southwest can have cheap fares, but you can't see this airline on Orbitz?

Thanks for all the info on Southwest and "DING." I'll definitely mention that one. And the noise-cancelling headphones are a great idea...I love "stuff."
BayouGal, I can't believe you have those sandals! I LOVE them.

I guess it's called name your price. Another site that does that too is vapour2000.com . I think sites like hotwire and expedia, if they haven't started should be doing same soon. But name your price is for real, the only caveat there is that they tripple the other fees and taxed. But I enjoy using hotwire.com or vapour2000.com .
