Last Minute Vacation deals sites

saint2e

Hey all,

July will bring my wife and I's first anniversary and we wanna do something fun and spontaneous... Mainly, wait until the week we wanna travel for a last minute deal, and decide on the fly where we're gonna go. Probably we'll plan to be gone for around a week.

Just looking for a few good "last minute deals" sites that are recommended, and perhaps some ideal locations that are usually cheap, but nice...

We're really open to whatever... I wouldn't mind going back to Vegas, or doing a resort location in the caribbean, or even venturing over to Europe if such deals can be found.

Thanks!

I would check out sites like groupon, livingsocial, kgbdeals, facebook deals, yelp deals. Both for random travel packages, and also for random stuff to do once you have a destination in mind. Make sure to check the ratings and make sure they aren't like totally out of the way though.

I think this will be the second or third time I recommended this, but I swear I'm not shilling-www.airbnb.com

It's basically a site where people put up their places(you can find both rooms in an otherwise occupied place, or full apartments/houses) for rent. From my experience, you can save quite a bit of money, and especially if you rent the full place, it feels nicer than a hotel.

Where do you live?

NYC? Drive to Buffalo, and fly to NYC, you could potentially get flights for like $150 or less per person, round trip including taxes and fees. Though if you're considering Europe I'm guessing your budget is a little bigger, how much are you willing to spend?

We've got about $2k in the travel kitty right now, so Europe would be stretching it, but possible.

NYC is an option, yeah... I mean, we could probably drive there, and that'd really cut down on expenses.

Travelzoo is pretty good for this kind of thing, usually.
