Link Of The Week

Everyone likes to take vacations, and thanks to the internet and great companies like AAA, our vacation planning can be done almost effortlessly.  We use Mapquest to get to our destination if we're driving, or we use Expedia or Travelocity if we want to fly or if we need to get a plane ticket or a hotel room. 

A lot of people are hesitant to go on a vacation because they don't want to leave their dogs at home.  It's often traumatic for the dogs when they're pawned off at a kennel for a week while their owners are out laying out the beach or sight-seeing. I came across a website this week that will help dog owners plan their vacations.  The biggest obstacle facing dog owners on vacation is finding a hotel that accepts pets.  Dog owners can check out http://www.bringfido.com and will be able to find hotels that accept dogs.  You don't have search through hotel websites and look for the fine print that says "pets accepted" - Bring Fido will do the work for you.  Just enter a cizy, zip code, or airport code like most hotel reservation websites, and then choose the number of nights you're staying and the number of adults and dogs, and Bring Fido will search and show you hotels that will let your bring the family dog. It's that easy.  Now if I can find a site that will show me hotels that accept the family donkey.

If I may simplify, Puddin...AAA not only assists you with planning your trip AND letting you know which hotels accept pets, but aaa.com also has online maps that have been rated higher by users than either of those nasty competitors you mentioned.  Travel with someone you trust.  We believe your travel agent should have a face.
