  Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel Great travel recommendations and deals.  It is enough to make you want to start packing for your next trip. Before you head out on your trip, go to Fodor's Travel.  Here you can create a mini-guide to any of 110 destinations around the world.  If you want more information prior to your travels you may also want to look at the Lonely Planet.  They have good general information on attractions and events around the world.

If you are considering a cruise, my favorite web site is Cruise. I have found they have the best pricing and discounts.  Believe me, I have looked at many sites and made numerous calls.  While you are doing your research or are getting ready to head out on your trip, take a look into the cruise critic.  Here you will find a wealth of information for both the first timer and seasoned traveler alike. 

Trip While listed as a travel agency, the best part of this site is the ability to track any commercial airplane while in flight.  You need to go to the "flight tracker" part of the site and enter the airline and flight number.  It is a great way to check to see if that flight is on time or fun to just check a flight at random. Domestic travel bargains and general  visitors guide are found at Digital City. They include a number of short lived and weekend only deals.

Travelocity is one more great starting spot to help you plan your next trip.  In addition to the usual hotel, car rental and airline sections, they also include a wide assortment of last minute savings opportunities. Also consider Orbitz,  Fare Chase , Hotwire, Lowest Fare and Cheap Tickets as they are all excellent savings search engines. If Europe is your destination, try Go-Today, they have great deals on travel of all types. Travel around the world, take a cruise or just relax in the sun.  Your Internet travel agent awaits. 

  Moments Notice I have yet to take advantage of any of their offerings, though some are quite tempting.  Many last minute deals for those able to go at a moments notice.  Once you have gotten to your destination you may want to stay in a condo or a home instead of a hotel. Look at Vacation Homes.  They include a variety of worldwide commercial and personally properties you can rent by the day or the week.

  Expedia Maps One of many sites now available to search for a particular location.  Most will print out directions in great detail and allow you to print up a map.  Map Quest now includes an option for seeing an aerial view of the location on the map. Other sites include Map Blast and Maps on Us. 

The Weather Channel and AccuWeather are best to check before you head out on your next trip.  You will find both National and International cities listed complete with a forecast.
