Want to travel in luxury on a beer budget?

You have to use the great travel sites — Hotwire.com and Priceline.com.

This time I used Priceline (odd for me, because I like the more no-brainer aspect of Hotwire), but Hotwire was not doing anything for me on the deals we were offered — 2 star hotel in Hollywood for $58. Great deal, but I am a more 3+ star kinda guy.

Anyway, did my bidding on Priceline, and got the Kyoto Grand Hotel in downtown LA for $60 a night!

On Travelocity, they wanted $139 a night for the same room! Love getting those bargains!

If you want to learn the tricks for knowing ahead of time an idea of what you’re going to get and how to use these services, look at this great web site BiddingforTravel.com. It will give you all the in’s and outs.

Just wanted to pass these tips along.
