Favorites Travel Sites

[dburdenbates]

When I plan my ski vacations (or any vacations for that matter), I want to know that I'm getting the best deal available. I research my a$$ off and am never really satisfied that I've found the best deal or even the best place to stay. I use a plethora of different travel sites for all my research and then graph everything I find on a spreadsheet for comparison (I'm such a data dweeb :o).

Anyone here have there own favorite sites or systems for planning their vacations? Some of the sites I frequent are:

tripadvisor.com (for reviews of lodging)
vrbo.com (for lodging rentals directly from the owners)
bestsnow.net (for choosing the best ski areas for early, late and/or holiday season skiing)
mobissimo.com (for comparing airfares)

But I need more to feed my fever! Give me something else to use to obsess over. :D
