Be aware that mapquest is not faultless by any means.
Using correct addresses it gives directions to another lake over 100 miles from my MI address.
We have found that it also gives driving directions with roads that are closed and have been closed for over a year.
For driving directions we use-
www.randmcnally.com

Just wanted to update this list with a new discovery:
www.FareAlert.net
This is an excellent website that lets you know about those little pricing glitches that sometimes happen with airfare and hotels as well as severly discounted travel info.
Disney just sold rooms at the Caribbean Beach Resort and the Coronado Springs Resort for $11 per night to Florida residents.

Need to add Earth.Google.com since it was omitted here...
JJ5 - RE: MapQuest, I agree. I have been instructed to turn the opposite direction (in error) by MapQuest. I often dbl-check with Yahoo!Maps and the others.

www.lonelyplanet.com has an incredibly active message board called The Thorn Tree, similar to Fodor's but budget travelers generally.
www.budgettravelonline.com is Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel magazine recently available on the net.
www.tripadvisor.com for hotel research

And then there's the Google search to augment the non-working Fodor's search. Thanks to Mrs. jlm_mi:
go to www.google.com and click "advanced search", you can search for anything you want, then restrict the domain to fodors.com.

One of my all time favorites and the one I used the most when the internet was new and the databases did not link as well. It's better than ever:
www.ceoexpress.com
Notice the TRAVEL section!

Hi,
A few that I didn't see mentioned are www.orbitz.com
www.travelocity.com
www.expedia.com
www.hoteldiscounts.com
www.hotels.com
Maybe others did mention these, and I just missed it. There are a lot of posts here.

weatherundergroun.com for a great education on tropical weather. Someone on this board told about it last year when Florida started getting hit and I have learned so much about meteorology since then. Their metoroligist's blogs seem to be ahead of everyone else.
