Hotwire provides greatly discounted hotels and airfares to those who are not picky about specifics.
(HOTELS) The way it works is that you specify a general area where you would like to stay. It will show you the general area and show how it breaks down the different sections. You can choose the star rating, and what amenities the hotel has but you will not know the exact hotel until you have booked it and this saves you money.
(AIRFARE) The great thing about Hotwire is that it shows you the exact cost of your flight: taxes and fees included. This makes it easier to see if you are indeed getting a deal when most sites out there show you only without taxes until you reach the final stage of booking. Hotwire makes it clear for you what you are getting and how much it is going to cost you.

Canadians can cross the border and then take off from Seattle to get anywhere on the west coast for pretty cheap until Nov. 18. United Airlines has slashed their prices. Check out more details here. Not bad prices all in all, but I think there could be better.
Here are some sample prices from Seattle (each way):
- San Francisco … $47
- Boise … $47
- San Diego … $66
- Portland, Ore. … $66
- San Jose … $66
- Sacramento … $67
- Los Angeles … $66

My wife and I had a great one week all inclusive trip to Varadero, Cuba. We did two excursions: Seafari to Cayo Blanco and a day trip into Havana. We had a great stay and really enjoyed a restful break at the Palma Real Resort. It is not directly on the beach but instead is one block away. It still has its own private beach and a neat little bar and grill right on the beach front. It was great for the excursions as we were the last stop on the way into Havana (and the rest of the country including the airport) and the first stop on the out to all the resorts. This was great because we didn’t have to spend an extra couple hours on the bus. I would recommend it to others. I would say best for vegetarians because there were a lot of “mystery meats” served. If you don’t like seafood you have to be pretty open to what ever the options are. The weather when we went was great, there was a constant breeze keeping the temperature a little more bearable. Cuba in general, great place and people.
