by Thomas Clarke

When setting about to travel around the nation, seeking to witness all the great natural and synthetic wonderment’s that the United States has got to extend, South Dakota and Mount Rushmore are certainly at the top of the list. Though your selections are expansive and the sites to explore are very diverse, there is something extraordinary about seeing the sculpted faces of those important presidents staring down at you from the mountain. This along with the varied monuments in Washington D.C. are something that everyone should try to experience at least once throughout their lifetime.

Travel Tips: How to Use Hotwire.com to Find Cheap Hotels

March 7th, 2010 · No Comments

by Chris Gray Faust

I use the hotel booking site, Hotwire.com frequently for my travels, most recently when I went to Tampa for New Year’s (InterContinental for $99 per night, not including tax) and Jersey City, New Jersey at the end of January (Westin Jersey City, $129).

I prefer Hotwire to Priceline, because you don’t have to guess on the price. The site is “opaque” - meaning that you must buy the room before you know the name of the hotel. It’s easier to figure out what hotel you might be getting on Hotwire. And you don’t have to go through Priceline’s bidding process, which can drag on if the site rejects your original offer.

Here are some tips if you want to use Hotwire for your next trip:

by Dorothy Yamich

Many folks who travel by airline flights, cruise ships, trains, buses, or rental cars on their vacations or holidays usually book hotels or resorts as their preferred place to stay. However, it probably never crosses their minds about the possibility of their resort or hotel could have a fire.

Though fires in luxury hotels and resorts occur infrequently, when they do happen they can have serious consequences for the hotel and resort guests. When people travel they should take precautions and be aware of some basic information on what to do if a fire happens in their resort or hotel when they are on holiday.

First of all, when you book a room in your hotel or resort, try and get one that is no higher than the fifth floor. In case of a fire, many fire engine ladders can’t reach rooms that are higher. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
