Bidding for travel has gained popularity in the United States and Canada over the last few years, and for very good reason.  Travellers can save money on products such as hotels, car rentals and airline tickets.  The biggest savings, however, are to be had on hotels, but bidding for travel also has some risks associated with it.  It is important to understand these risk before booking your travel on bidding sites such as Priceline, Hotwire, Expedia, and some of the other bidding sites:

• Reservations are non-refundable, and non-cancellable.  When you book on a bidding site, you are taking a big chance that you will not need to cancel, and if you do, you could be out of pocket big bucks.
• You usually do not know what hotel brand you will receive.  This is known as opaque bidding, because you cannot see who you are booking with.  In the case of hotels, you usually know the hotel rating and gener ... Read more »

Whether you re a hardcore adrenaline junkie, a wildlife enthusiast or a city slicker looking for cutting-edge culture, Canada ticks all the boxes. The world s second largest country racks up an astonishing diversity of landscapes; vast prairies rise abruptly to glacier-topped mountains; rugged, unspoiled coastlines give way to immense forests and emerald lakes; and Arctic waters lap upon frozen tundra.

Question: Is now a good time to invest in travel stocks.

Bear's Response

Online travel companies have dramatically changed their industry - so much now that a "travel agent" is an all-but-extinct job description. As is so often the case, though, there is a big difference between good companies and good stocks. While many of these companies have relatively bright futures ahead of them, the combination of economic uncertainty, competition and investment spending suggest that now is not the right time to start significant positions.

Prior to European settlement in the area, the peninsula that now contains San Francisco was home to the Yelamu tribe, who were part of the larger Ohlone language group which stretched south from the Bay Area to the Big Sur of California. Due to San Francisco's characteristic foggy weather, the earliest European explorers completely bypassed the Golden Gate and the San Francisco Bay.

The first European settlement in the area was founded by the Spanish in 1776 as a mission community surrounding the Mission San Francisco de Asis, in what is today called the Mission Dolores in the Mission District. In addition to the mission, a military fort was built near the Golden Gate: El Presidio.

Upon gaining independence from Spain in 1821, the area became part of Mexico. Under Mexican rule, the mission system gradually came to an end and private ownership of land became a possibility. In 1835, an Englishman named William Richardson founded the town of Yerba Buena. the firs ... Read more »

Forget about those stodgy art institutions banning selfie sticks. Now there s a museum specifically designed for social media snapshots.

Like something straight out of out of a Tumblr exec s fantasy, a new attraction called Art in Island in the Philippines uses 3D replicas of paintings to put visitors in the center of art s most famous masterpieces. It has thus been dubbed the planet s first-ever selfie museum.

Actively encouraging guests to share their experiences with friends, family, and followers, museum corporate secretary Blyth Cambaya explains that. here, art paintings are not complete if you are not with them, if you don t take pictures with them.

Call it global warming. Call it natural climate change. Call it sheer good luck. But every year spring seems to arrive a little earlier and so - even though it certainly doesn't feel like it this week - zoo travel season is just around the corner.

That means it's about the time of year when travel writing flips from irritating airline security and travel politics stories to cute animals doing cute animal things.

It's not just us, either. The London-based Daily Mail published a story this week all about one of the male lions who live in our beloved San Diego Wild Animal Park, which of course was renamed the San Diego Safari Park a few years ago. The video that sparked the story is embedded below - after spending a day flying around social media - and you should make sure that you watch the whole thing. Easily worth a minute of your time.

Booking a flight and rental car together offers the convenience of having your travel reservations stored on one website or with one company. Although you will likely receive separate confirmations from the airline and rental car company, you will be able to access your entire reservation in one place.

Why It s Time to Book Travel Directly Again With Hotels, Airlines

Robert McGarvey, MainStreet, Mar 12, 2015

NEW YORK Almost 20 years into the revolution triggered by the launch of Expedia (1996), Priceline (1997), Hotwire (2000) and many other online travel agencies, a new question is being asked: Is now the time to go back to booking direct with airlines, hotels, even car rental companies? The reason: Just maybe one-stop convenience is getting trumped by sweeter deals found when shopping directly.

That sounds so 1995, but savvy travelers are insisting the dominance of the OTAs is at an end. George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, remembers when he would walk into a Borders bookstore a decade ago and knew it was a dinosaur because people weren t buying books they were flipping through pages, maybe taking notes on key passages. He says he sees the same at OTAs: People are not buying from them, they are using them for informational purposes, Hobica says. ... Read more »

Cheap Flights and Hotels: Cheap Vacation Deals

The starting point of the expression travel is doubtlessly lost to history. The expression travel may begin from the Old French word travail.[3] According to the Merriam Webster reference work, the first known utilization of the statement travel was in the fourteenth century. It additionally states that the statement originates from Middle English travailen, travelen (which intends to torment, work, strive, venture) and prior from Old French travailler (which intends to work strenuously, drudge). In English we still sometimes utilize the expressions travail and travails, which mean battle. Consistent with Simon Winchester in his book The Best Travelers Tales (2004), the statements travel and travail both offer an all the more antiquated root: a Roman instrument of torture called the tripalium (in Latin it implies three stakes , as into pierce). This connection is intriguing ... Read more »

Costa Rica (Spanish. Costa Rica or Republica de Costa Rica. pronounced [re?pu?lika ?e ?kosta ?rika] ) is a small country in Central America bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the south, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Caribbean Sea to the east.

Costa Rica is officially known as the Republic of Costa Rica

Since the late 1980's Costa Rica became a popular nature travel destination, and its main competitive advantage is its well-established system of national parks and protected areas, covering around 23.4% of the country's land area, the largest in the world as a percentage of the country's territory, and home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, in a country that has only 0.03% of the world's landmass, but that is estimated to contain 5% of the world's biodiversity. The country also has plenty of world renowned beaches, both in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, within short travel distances ... Read more »

Choosing a good backpack is one of the most important parts of planning your backpacking trip. Whichever one you choose,it s going to hold all of your belongings for the next weeks, months, or if you re really adventurous, years! You re also going to be carrying it on your back for that long too! The backpack you take can make or break your trip, which is why it s really important to choose a good one.

Note to the newbie travelers: One of the misconceptions I had when I first set out on my 2 month backpacking trip around Europe, was that I d be carrying my backpack with me everywhere I went. I don t know how or why I thought that, but I did. So, just to clarify, you ll only be carrying your backpack with you when you travel from one city to the next one. As soon as you arrive at a hostel, you can drop your pack off (good riddance)! You won t need to carry it around with you while you sightsee. Then when you leave the city, y ... Read more »

Although several countries have laid claim to various portions of Antarctica, it is governed by the 1958 Antarctic Treaty, which establishes the continent as a peaceful and cooperative international research zone. There are no cities per se, just some two dozen research stations with a total population ranging from 1000-4000 depending on the time of year. These are maintained for scientific purposes only, and do not provide any official support for tourism. The laws of the nation operating each research station apply there.

Private travel to Antarctica generally takes one of three forms:

1. commercial sea voyages with shore visits (by far the most popular)
2. specially mounted land expeditions, or
3. sightseeing by air.
