The Denali National Park is a must see during your Alaska Travel. The Park is located about 240 miles north of Anchorage and 120 mile south of Fairbanks on the George Parks Highway.

In Denali Park, there are many glaciers visible to the eye and close to the roads. There are around 175 species of birds and 40 species of animals– to name a few seen are Grizzly bear, moose, wolves, Dall sheep and caribou. All of which are commonly seen in the park during bus tours that take you deep into the park. I hope to some day have the opportunity to visit Alaska and explore the intense beauty hidden there.

Checkout Alaska Denali Tours if you’re planning an Alaska trip. They offer some great online discounts for lodging, tours, and other unique packages to the areas you may be interested in.

I’m always up to finding the best deals around when planning a vacation. So there are a few Online Travel Agencies that I always check out to see what kind of deal I can get. I’ve used most of them and can guarantee an easy reservation process and once you arrive they treat you like Royalty. Some Florida vacation rentals, Florida Keys vacation rentals, and Orlando vacation rentals are HOT right now, hotels, resorts or luxury condo rentals anywhere are always a good choice. You’ll know what to expect when you get there–VIP treatment. The staff I’ve dealt with has always been extremely accommodating and very friendly.

Here’s a few of my favorite websites:
Hotwire
Priceline
going2travel
Expedia

If you travel a lot, it might pay you to compare your savings to these sites before booking your next trip. I was shocked the last time I went up to Costa Mesa, CA. I was able to save over $200 per night and have access to a 5-star hotel for the price I could afford and that would usually only cover a 2-star hotel. It’s worth looking around before just committing to any reservation.

It’s crucial to register early on to avoid the last minute rush, especially when coming in from out-of-state. Hotels book up fast. The best hotel rates are usually the ones offered from the Coordinators of the Conference, so plan early to come its worth the effort.

Their homemade rolls are amazingly outstanding! It’s a MUST to visit the Lakeside Cafe, just to experience the rolls. They are so fresh, homemade daily, and extremely unique.

The dinner meals are tasty with generous portions. As far as pricing goes, it’s average pricing similar to a Denny’s restaurant.

The hostess and servers are happy, beautiful, and very pleasant each time I’ve visited.
So it’s a “High Five” from me to you. Go visit the Lakeside Cafe as soon as you get a chance and let me know what you think about them.

Here’s another one of my recommended online resource to do this, it’s called,”HotelReservations.com.” One unique thing about this site is its user-friendly ability. You can select several language dialects to have the site translated in…like English, German, Italian, Spanish, French, etc. This is definitely a feature that isn’t always available. Excellent resource to the World Traveler.

This site offers great discounts compared to making a reservation directly through the hotel. You can receive up 70% off or more when making your reservation online through HotelReservations.com. I am impressed with the broad spand of hotels, vacation rentals, condos, bed and breakfasts that they have access to and can provide huge discounts for. They seem to cover areas all over the United States and some Major International locations as well, like London, Sydney, Shanghai, Germany, Italy, you name it they’ve got it covered. Booking air flights, car rentals, and vacation rentals too! The wide variety of choices make it quick and easy to get the quality of vacation that you’re looking for.

I like the options that this site provides when you’re doing searches for specific details: dates, locations, amenities, etc. The results are not only accessible quickly, but you can sort the results by the “Best Value”, “Quality”,”Price”, or the hotel name alphabetically. That feature really makes it easy to navigate around and find things easier. You have access to maps, detailed information about every hotel, and photos to help us “Visually Stimulated” people get a good feel about the destination.

As far as the Flight reservations and Car Rentals, they provide competitive rates and options between several major airlines and car rental facilities.

This website is an excellent resource for any traveler World-wide or just traveling the States. They provide you with a wide variety of deals, its a great starting point when trying to plan your next vacation itinerary, that’s for sure.

Try it out the next time your planning a last minute trip, family vacation, or just a weekend getaway and see what kind of deals they might have for you. Send me a comment about your experiences to. It’s always great to hear other people’s reviews of services too.

Well, I’d like to share with you a few travel websites that I use and they provide all these things. Expedia.com, CheapTickets.com, Orbitz.com, PriorityClub.com, and even SouthWest Airlines Rapid Rewards now offers not only airline points but discounts on hotels and other travel needs.

If you travel to Australia, one website I’ve been referred to by some friends is called, “lastminute.com.au” They specialize in traveling last minute anywhere in Australia. They offer inexpensive (cheap) flights, hotels, accomodations, and other exclusive travel deals too. I personally haven’t tried it out yet, but have heard great things about them. They are licensed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) too. Go for it and give it a try!

If you use any other online travel agency and they offer great deals at moments notice, respond to this post and share your info.

I’ve recently come across Fairfield Gateways which offers some great vacation packages, if you don’t mind sitting through their 1 to 2 hour sales presentation on the benefits of acquiring ownership in a Fairfield timeshare resort. For a few minutes of your time, you can enjoy an extremely inexpensive vacation that can include weekend getaway offers and special travel packages that not only include your hotel accommodations but extra tickets or goodies for tourist sites near your locations (ie. cash valued dinner certificates, roundtrip railroad tickets, popular area shows, depending on your destination).

Try it out and see if they have a location that you may want to travel.
