Wow - flights total dropped $324 today! Glad I bought a Farelock and could cancel.I used Farelock to hold our flight reservations for a week. I've been trying to get past some scheduled medical tests (one for each of us), and problems aren't expected, but I hate to commit 100% until we're past that.
Great! I've never done such a thing. Do you only use it in extenuating circumstances? Seems when I have checked, fares don't vary much in a short period of time. But we don't fly that much.Wow - flights total dropped $324 today! Glad I bought a Farelock and could cancel.
I'm used to fare prices being low on Tuesday and popping up higher on Wednesday, not the other way around!!!
This is the first time I've used Farelock, and I decided to use it because I'd selected the flights we wanted and I'd seen the prices creeping up. I didn't expect the prices to drop because we are now less than 2 months out. They had already jumped up quite a bit from Feb 1.Great! I've never done such a thing.

If renting a car-I just found this for scouring lower car rentals. It looks for coupons and rate drops and rebooks you- at no charge. Reviews are decent.

UPDATE- so 5 minutes after I registered my rental, I received a lower quote and saved $238. I was shown the rate, got the same type of vehicle, and all my details were in place. LOVE THIS!
Just keep an eye out on the status of the Dengue fever outbreak on Hawaii (the Big Island). I hope they eradicate it soon.just started planning a trip to Oahu and Hawaii for later this year, after we are both done with work. Haven't been there for about 10 years. Retirement celebration for us!
Just got back from a couple days on Puerto Rico and a week cruise on the Celebrity Summit with DW and her sisters & spouses. Note - Arecibo Observatory is closed until May, and the bioluminescent bay is weak due to El Nino. On the cruise we hit Tortola, Martinique, Dominica, St. Kitts, and St. Thomas. Weather was mixed but we saw lots of sperm whales!

Great time to look for the Whooping Cranes. The boat trips to see them can be really good. They are spectacular.

As long as you aren't visiting from Sugarland or Galveston or Conroe.
