Ever bought a last minute package from Travelocity or others? Is it a good deal you think?

Most of our vacations are done this way. I'll have an idea a few months before hand where we want to go but often because of work we are unable to make plans until a few weeks (sometimes days) beforehand. During that between time I use the time to research the area including sights/hotels/restaraunts/transportation. I get an idea of the avg. cost so I know whats a good deal or not. Then when the price is right, which it usually is, we book. Have used Orbitz/Travelocity/Expedia and airline specific sights. Never had a problem with any of those sights. As to whether or not your specific package is good or not I'm not sure. I can tell you that for that price you can go to the Caribbean!

Schnooks, be sure to check the a la carte rate also. Check the website of the hotel for best rate, then best airfare and car etc. Occasionally there are deals at Travelocity and Expedia, etc, but most of the packages I've priced out have not yielded any savings. I'm sure some of these packages are good deals, but there doesn't seem to be much consistency.
Also check the auctions at luxurylink.com. Use the travel search feature to see if there are any auctions for Palm Springs. The best deals I've purchased by internet have been there, but the selection can be very limited.

Thanks. I checked Site59. I wonder if there's any way they would have trips on Dec. 29th-probably not, but that's when we can leave. It would be fun to do a last minute thing.
Most trips list the current date and then not until Dec. 31st.
