Paddle on over to Kayak
Sure, you can find cheap flights, hotel deals and cruise discounts. But you can also set up a customized homepage so that when you log on, you see the latest fare deals to all the places you like to go, without the hassle of being emailed the flights. Let's face it, while it's nice to get emails, you rarely have the actualy ability to follow through on a good deal. With kayak, you just jump in the boat when you DO have free time, and see what they've got cookin'.

The only issue I dislike about Kayak.com is that sometimes I've been able to find a cheaper fare on an airlines direct website so apparently they aren't always able to find the cheapest fare out there anywhere.
Otherwise it is a great source for knowing what is available for...
When I discovered this it was such a time (and money saver). It is so nice to have a website do all the searching and comparing for you. I also check individual websites but this gives you a great start. It is also handy all the ways you can narrow down a search to find the exact information to suit your needs. My travel agent actually recommended I use this search engine rather than AAA because of their high booking fees and the fact this searched so well. I also like the fact it takes you to their website so that you feel more secure using a name site. Why didn't someone think of this sooner??...
