Rent cars on the weekend for $13 a day!

Visit Priceline.com to see their great deals on weekend car rentals, which start at $13 a day.

Alamo, Avis, Hertz, National and Budget all participate in the program with Priceline. You "name your own price" on the priceline.com site, and see if the car rental agency in that town will accomodate you.

Fine print:

All Name Your Own Price weekend travel deals must include a Saturday or Sunday and were less than 4 days in total trip length. Also, the cars are rented round trip only, no one way.

Prices also vary according to if you want an econmy size, compact or midsize.

When renting cars, I'd recommend you also buy the optional insurance - or make sure that your own insurance covers any accidents with rental cars. If you have the insurance, you won't have an accident, if you don't have it, you might. That seems to be the way these things always go! Better just have the peace of mind, and at these prices, the extra insurance is no hardship.

Unlimited scuba at theCaribbean's best dive sites

If you're a scuba diver, or if you want to learn how to do it, Beaches Resorts are the place for you. (Check it out at Beaches.com)

Here's what they offer:

Beaches includes the most comprehensive resort scuba diving program anywhere in the Caribbean. For new divers, they offer a resort course (US$70) which will have divers in .the water by the next day If you're already a certified scuba enthusiast, you can enjoy up to two dives daily. Beaches features top-of-the-line, purpose built boats and their scuba staff is fully PADI certified.

Here's the dive sites at Beaches Negril:

Middle Shoal Reef
Depth: 30 ft.
One of the most frequently visited 30' dive sites. Used mainly for Beaches' PADI introductory (Resort) Scuba Course dive #1. Nice coral reef to 30' sand bed. Very large aggregation of French grunts at cleaning stations on coral heads. Squirrel fish aggregations at other cleaning sites. Turtles often seen on the edge of a sand bed. Many blue chromis, creole wrans, parrots, etc.

Bloody Bay
Depth: 30 ft.
Another dive site used for their Resort's course divers on training dive #1. The healthy coral heads rise as far as 20' from the bottom of Bloody Bay. Some extremely large spiny puffers! occasional sea horse.

Middle Shoal Reef
Depth: 90 ft.
There is a small single engine plane located at this site at a depth of 90'. This dive is known for spade fish and barracuda. Beautiful coral, barrel, sponge, gorgonialns, etc. Further out there is drop off to 200'.

Ballards Reef
Depth: 90 ft.
This outer reef is hard to find but well worth it. The reef is relatively untouched. Large kingfish and the occasional jew fish can be found. The outside of the reef drops off to the deep.

Gallery
Depth: 30 ft.
Interesting overhangs and ledges. Lots of places to explore. Large crabs, turtles, nurse sharks, sting rays, morays, black coral and the occasional Sea Horse are often seen here.

Shallow Plane
Depth: 55 ft.
Located south of the edge of the reef, on sand. Soldier fish hand out at the plane. A long snout butterfly fish has come up from the depths to make the back seat of the plane its home. The reef itself if full of overhangs, ledges, caverns, sponges, seaferns and coral. Sting Rays are very common here.

The Arches
Depth: 33 ft.
Beaches often combinse the shallow plane with this 33' dive. There are many overhangs and ledges. Nurse sharks and very large sting rays are common. Swim through the arches and notice the purple and yellow fairy bassets. They align themselves to the substratum and are upside down on the ceilings of the arches and caverns.

King Fish Point
Depth: 90 ft.
This beautiful deep dive goes outward through spectacular coral formations to a depth of 90' and then the reef drops to sand flats at 130'. Turtles are seen quite often. Nurse sharks, enormous barrel sponges and large gorgonialns are also seen.

Booby Cay
Depth: 30 ft.
The island has been almost surrounded with mooring buoys installed by the Negril Coral Reef Preservation Society with the help of Reef Relief from Florida, Sandals Negril and many more. Weather dictates which side of the island to use. The North West side has some healthy Elk Horn Coral near the surface and a lot of very large Bloody Bay coral heads.

There are plenty more dive sites there, for the skilled diver, such as a cave and cavern site. DIVING IN CAVERNS AND CAVES ARE ONLY FOR THOSE DIVERS PROPERLY TRAINED IN THIS TYPE OF DIVING.

Bed and Breakfasts in Ontario

The one thing about travel in the United States...well, indeed,the world, these days, is that you pretty much find a slice of home everywhere you go. McDonalds, Burger Kings, Arbys and Pizza Huts are ubiquitous. So are the big hotel chains like Holiday Inns, Super 8s and Motel 6s, not to mention the Courtyard Marriots and the Residence Inns and so on. And I'm not knocking them. They serve a valuable purpose.

However, when I travel, I like to experience new things, and that includes new places to stay and new restaurants in which to dine and new museums to explore.

Which is why when I travel, at least to certain parts of the cuntry and the world, I like to stay in Bed and Breakfasts. These types of places give you a real ambiance, a feeling of an actual home away from home instead of an impersonal hotel room, and you meet many more people this way. And they can offer you deals and travel help just as the big hotels can.

Take for example the Victorian Charm Bed & Breakfast at 6028 Culp St in Niagra Falls, Ontario (which you can book at BedandBreakfast.com).

St Lucia, an overview

Saint Lucia is an island nation in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It is part of the Lesser Antilles, and has a population of about 160,000.

Saint Lucia is one of the Windward Islands (doesn't that sound romantic? But what it means is that the trade winds, that assisted sailing ships in crossing the oceans, blew towards them (and thus towards the New World), rather than away.)

It was named for Saint Lucy of Syracuse, a Christian martyr.

The island is divided into eleven quarters, or districts.
Anse la Raye Quarter
Castries Quarter
Choiseul Quarter
Dauphin Quarter
Dennery Quarter
Gros Islet Quarter
Laborie Quarter
Micoud Quarter
Praslin Quarter
Soufrière Quarter
Vieux Fort Quarter

It's a mountainous island, and two peaks on the southwest coast, the Pitons, are its most famous landmark. (The Gros Piton and the Petit Piton.)

Tourists typically travel to St. Lucia during the dry season, from January to April. In May, there's an internationally famous Jazz Festival, which has been held since 1992. And of course the scuba and the snorkeling and the scenery are available year round.

Spend your wedding moon in Jamaica/Turks & Caicos

Don't just spend your honeymoon in Jamaica or the Turks & Caicos, get married there, too!

Where did the term "honeymoon" originate, anyway? No one really knows. According to Wikipedia, "The Oxford English Dictionary offers no etymology, but gives examples dating back to the 16th century. The Merriam-Webster dictionary reports the etymology as from "the idea that the first month of marriage is the sweetest" (1546).

The term honeymoon originates from the tradition that the in-laws of the couple were required to supply a month's worth of mead, or honey wine."

So what's a wedding moon? At least, one offered by Beaches Resort?

Personal wedding consultant
Picturesque wedding location
