Apple Vacations 
Specializing in travel to the Caribbean & Hawaii, Apple Vacations is a great place to find incredible deals. Click on the specials graphic, and then click on your departure city to see all of the deals available - you may find discounts of 50% or more! Apple Vacation packages are booked through travel agents, but the website makes it easy to find one in your location and allows you to book online.
CheapCaribbean.com
Fun site that boasts savings to Caribbean destinations of up to 70%. If you know you want to go somewhere, but don't know where, simply select your home airport and dates, and CheapCaribbean.com will show you a listing of trips in all kinds of exotic locations. Check out the specials link at the top to find the latest deals.
Easy Click Travel
Wonderful, simple, easy to use site where you can find some absolutely great deals - especially on hotels. Click the deals tab for the latest list of specials.
Expedia.com  Editor's Pick
This is one of the
most well known travel sites out there. It's an extremely easy site to use. One cool feature is "Fare Compare" (access it via the Flights screen). It allows you to see what airfares other Expedia users
are finding and purchasing for each date. Also, check out the Deals tab for air/hotel/car discounts.

OneTravel.com 
A great feature of OneTravel.com
is the Ideal Vacation Finder. You can find it in the bottom right-hand corner of the home page. Basically, you select the activities you're interested in, your departure area, and timeframe, and you'll receive a customized list of travel options along with prices. It works very well and is great
for people who think they've "been everywhere".
Orbitz
Mostly known for airline tickets (it's owned by five major airlines), Orbitz has started to become a major player with hotel bookings also. Orbitz is home of the "Matrix Display". This allows you to breakdown
flights by time and number of stops. For hotels, it allows you to break down listings by price and location. For cars, you can break down results by company and car type. In our opinion, this is the single best feature of any travel booking site on the web. It makes slicing & dicing search results a snap. Another great feature is the "Deal Detector". Here you can put in your flight information and target price, and Orbitz
will e-mail you if a fare ever drops below that price. It's a great way to monitor deals for your favorite destination without manually searching all of the time.

TravelHero.com
If you're looking for a site with tons of hotels, this one takes the cake. Most sites
only list hotels that have online booking capability, but TravelHero also includes those small "boutique" hotels that aren't yet hooked up to the internet. They will take care of contacting
the hotel for you usually within 24 hours. This site also has two other great sections. Click the "Deals" tab at the top to see specials offered by convention & visitors bureaus of many cities. Or, if your vacation plans call for
amusement parks, click on the "Thrills" tab to be taken to AmusementPark.com where you can buy tickets online. TravelHero also offers vacations packages to Hawaii and Mexico.
Travelocity 
Travelocity is my "go-to" place
when I'm looking for a travel package. For some reason they always beat out the other guys on price. There's one thing to watch out for though... sometimes the first price
that shows up isn't the final price. Once you go to the next screen you may receive a message that the price has changed.
Don't worry, this doesn't happen when you're booking, just when you're browsing. I've seen this on Expedia
also, but not as often. Bottom line, if you see a deal too good to be true, it just might be. But, as mentioned
earlier, good deals are definitely found here, especially when purchasing an entire vacation package.
TravelWorm
TravelWorm is an extremely fast site that specializes in casino resorts
and leisure destinations. Therefore you won't find hotels for all cities, but their list is fairly extensive. Before booking a trip be sure to join their free membership program which entitles you to a 2% discount on all hotel reservations.
