Favorite Travel-related Websites

I do like to travel - unfortunately, most of it is for business and without my husband - but I do spend hours researching potential trips, especially internationally. So, I thought it might be good to record some of my favorite travel-related websites:

1. Tripadvisor (http://www.tripadvisor.com): I love this website. Fantastic forums, incredible hotel reviews, and a lot of fun.

2. Seatguru (http://www.seatguru.com): Always ensure that you have a decent seat. This will help you do it -- I love looking at foreign airlines and seeing how they configure the seats.

3. Airlinemeals.Net (http://www.airlinemeals.net): I literally found this one tonight -- documented evidence of the ups and downs of airline food. Check out Edelweiss Airlines...killer food! Some of the Indonesian airlines deserve snaps for creative use of rice in desserts and appetizers.

4. Kayak (http://www.kayak.com): I use this site every time I want to book a trip or dream about a trip. Comprehensive, full of relevant data, and supported by each and every search. I like to do random searches from Austin to Germany so it bulks their statistical data. I know, I know, it sounds like the Starfleet of Travel and I totally agree.

BONUS: Tripadvisor "We're Not Making This Up" Blog (http://tripadvisor.typepad.com/my_weblog/): Add this to your google reader, right after you create your Tripadvisor account and claim your Travel Pins. It's the funniest thing ever -- it also helps if you have any customer service experience...a reminder that the world is full of odd people.

Anyhoo, have a great night!

Tschüß!!!
