Travel & Leisure magazine

I've been getting T&L for years now.  In my opinion it's the better of the two travel biggies, the other one  Conde' Nast Traveler.  Even though, I believe T&L  depends way too much on lists to fill their magazines.  Best Hotels, Best Spas, Best Travel Agents (really!).  You can subscribe for about a dollar an issue and if you have the travel bug.. it may help scratch it. 

I found the 33 best travel web sites in an old issue I unearthed from a pile of papers and some of them are worth passing along..

www.farecast.com  "predict the ideal moment to buy a(n airline) ticket

www.kayak.com and sidestep.com "best deals on flights and hotels" (still not cheaper than hotwire.com I'll bet)

www.traffic.com  'avoid roadblocks'

www.tripadvisor.com   'reviews by users'   (this is a GREAT site to check out hotel reviews) 

www.lastminute.com  'package deals one week out' 

There you have it.. from the 2008 December "Travel & Leisure".
