Las Vegas has been known for its parties since way back, down the line. Nowadays, that party has become a place where people pay a lot of money for bottle service in nightclubs.

Florida (Florida vacation rentals) is full of surprises. It seems like the state always has these unheard-of cities and locations popping up. For example, A seven-mile island called Anna Maria Island (Anna Maria Island vacation rentals) sits in the Gulf of Mexico about 40 miles south of Tampa.
This island has preserved its old-style ways and is a place where people rent a bike, and take a free trolley bus around the island. Colorful old houses line the island. In Anna Maria Island, you won’t find high-rise hotels, party beaches and barely any chain restaurants. Another thing the island is known for is its great dining options.

Pettravel.com offers an online guide for traveling with your pet. A new option meant to relieve pet owners from the high prices of airlines is petairways.com. [...more]
As well as the increase in price for baggage and in-flight food, airlines are taking pet fees to a whole other level. Airlines such as American, Alaska, JetBlue, Virgin America and US Airways have raised their pet fees to $100 each way.
Continental, United and Midwest increased their fees from $100 to $125. Larger pets can incur a fee anywhere between $300 roundtrip on American to $500 on United; and that is just for domestic flights.
Nowadays, you may have to pay more for your pet’s ticket than your own. Some pet owners feel these changes are “discriminatory against pet owners.” Unfortunately, pet owners don’t have much of a choice but to pay the fee if they want to take their pets with them.
Pet Travel promises to fly animals in a climate-controlled cabin with individual crates instead of seats and a flight attendant who checks on the animals every 15 minutes. Here, size does not matter. Commercial airlines do not typically accept snub-nosed dogs like pugs or cats like Persians as cargo because they tend to be sensitive to heat. Frontier Airlines has banned pets from cabins. Pet Airways is a good way to avoid inconveniencing fellow travelers with pet allergies or a fear of dogs or cats.
Some airlines are trying to be more pet friendly. This month, Delta lowered its rate from $150 each way to $100 for carry-on pets in domestic flights. Pets checked as luggage went from $275 to $175. JetBlue has created a frequent flier program for pets called JetPaws. This program allows the customer to earn double miles when they bring their pet. Other airlines such as Continental and Midwest have similar programs. Seemingly competitive, Southwest started charging $75 this month to take small dogs and cats onboard. On July 1st, Air Canada started charging about $42 for pets each way. Remember:
• Airlines limit the number of pets on each flight so make sure to reserve early if you plan to take your pet.
• Book a nonstop flight whenever possible in order to relieve your pet of unnecessary stress.
• If you plan to check your pet in as luggage, avoid mid-day flights in the summer as temperatures in cargo hold can get dangerously warm.
• Try to feed your dog four hours before the flight but allow them to have water up until travel time.
• Write your contact information and pet’s name on the pet carrier.
• If your pet gets very anxious, you may want to spare him/her the stress. Pet sitters can be found online at Pet-sit.com and Petsitters.org.
People traveling with pets can find in vacation rentals a great pet-friendly type of acccommodation.

We hear a lot about all of these great airfare steals and deals but sometimes, it may be difficult to find what everyone is talking about. Is what we are looking at today, the best deals? Or is it best to hold off because the best deals are still to come? Over the past year, travelers who waited to purchase their tickets at the last moment generally got the best fares because that is when airlines are forced to slash prices in order to fill empty seats.
At the same time, some of today’s deals are just too good to pass up. Airfares remain at about 18 percent cheaper as compared to last year. Though summer is not normally when you will find travel deals, Southwest Airlines had one if its biggest sales after Forth of July Weekend, slashing one-way fares below $100.
In response, other carriers began to match those fares. Unfortunately, the extreme drop in passengers calls for airlines to make more service cuts. As a result, fares may shoot up again. Still, most airfare watchers urge travelers to wait because prices are expected to continue falling in the coming months.
Also, it is good to know that airlines may originally post high airfares but then they do not manage those until it gets closer to the departure date (normally 60 days before). Waiting is particularly good when looking for a flight to Europe (Europe vaction rentals) Yapta.com is a price tracking service that will alert you if the price of your plane ticket drops after you’ve purchased it. In such a situation, the traveler would call the airline to ask for a voucher for the price difference.
Overall, the commonly agreed-upon best advice, if you find a fare that is historically considered good, book it. Do not wait for a fantasy fare that may never come.

Madrid’s quiet little street called Calle Conde Duque is a charming border between the hectic 17th-century center and slightly more open and organized 19th-century districts.
More recently, despite its neighboring chaos, the street has become a place of international design and a serene haven of chic boutiques, welcoming cafes and al fresco restaurants. Some would compare Calle Conde Duque with Marais in Paris (Paris vacation rentals) or SoHo in New York (New York vacation rentals) when they first started.
The two neighborhoods were born of just a few small, independent fashion boutiques. Conde Duque offers stores such as Mint Marche which sells French and Scandinavian designs for women; Sportivo which sells men’s sportswear; Mini which offers suits and more business-like men’s clothes; Duke which sells sneakers; Clean which sells French brands such as A.P.C.; Radio City, a small record store that sells vintage and independent vinyl LPs and CDs; and Blanca Berlin Galeria, a gallery with works of Spanish, Mexican, Brazilian, American and Korean photographers.
On the western part of the street, the Cuartel del Conde Duque can be found. This was formerly military barracks that were built between 1717 and 1730. In the 1980s, it became known as Centro Cultural Conde Duque and had 2 free museums, several libraries and city archives. The neighborhood continues to improve along with the cultural center. There are also places to eat or drink on Conde Duque such as Toma, La Herradura Mexican restaurant and El Jardin Secreto where you can get a mixed drink and dessert.
