Travel Websites We Love to Visit

February 8, 2009. Travel and Internet go together these days like oceans and sand. Of course, we always turn to VacationRental.org for luxury vacation rentals. When we need something else, we check out these websites.

Farecast.com – Talk about useful information. This site compiles historical data on airline ticket prices to forecast price trends for just about any flight you can summon. Hopefully, you can purchase your tickets when the price is right.

WeJustGotBack.com – If you have children, you need to check out this website. Written by families, for families, about family travel. The site features destination reviews, but also handy advice.

Viator.com – Plenty of websites portend to be regional experts, but no website pulls everything together as well as Viator. Specializing in local attractions and things to do, the site also offers tickets to many of the top activities. Even better, visitors can submit a date range to limit the search and coincide with their vacation. You won't find every out of the way destination here, but most of the hotspots are already featured and more are being added.
