Travel Information Page

    There are a number of sources which I would recommend to get general travel information.  Below are links to those services and a brief explanation of the services they provide.  The most important rule in finding cheap flights, hotel rooms, cars or any other travel need is flexibility of scheduling.  If you dates are set in stone, you may pay a lot more for a plane ticket or a hotel room then if your dates are flexible.  Most of the travel industry offers tremendous last minute deals.  Remember, once that plane takes off or the night is over, the airline can't sell that ticket and the hotel can't rent that room.  The airlines, the hotels, the car rental companies all realize that they would rather get a piece of the pie than none at all.
