It was for our trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to visit the amusement park Dollywood.We live about 4 hours from Pigeon Forge so we were driving there but still need to find a place to stay and get tickets to the park. Pigeon Forge and the Gatlinburg area have hundreds of hotels. I knew finding one was going to ...

My hubby and I decided to go on a cruise to Alaska in 2006. His parents decided to join us on the tip also. I did all the research on the price, dates, and travel options. I ended up finding the best deal on Travelocity.com. I had used this site before with no problems, so I had no hesitation on booking with them. My in-laws were at our house the day we booked online. I purchased my trip first,...

My husband and I recently went on vacation and had to drive ourselves to the airport. We were leaving out of Detroit, Michigan and wanted to stay somewhere close to the airport so they could shuttle us over to the airport in the early hours of the morning.

We absolutely love going to Disney and we travel there every single summer. We of course enjoy the theme parks and the wonderful accommodations that Disney has to offer but I must admit another big hit with us is Disney Dining.

At the time that my husband & I tried the Magic Your Way Dining Plan, this was an amazing option provided by Disney to have all your meals/snacks pre-paid so that when you arrived, all you had to do was worry about where you wanted to eat out of all the many restaurant choices.The Disney Dining Plan is a meal option that gives each person in your party, 1 sit down meal, 1 counter-service me...

I traveled with a friend on an eight day safari to Tanzania and boy was it an experience. The safari tour took us to the main game reserves in Tanzania: Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater (where we saw the extremely rare black rhino), Serengeti National Park and Tarangirie National Park with a few interesting stops on the way.  Driving times between the reserves were not as bad as I had firs...

Where to start. . . . . Walt Disney World is a great vacation package! We have been there twice now and are in the process of planning our third trip.

When I looked at the same package through other tour operators they were...
