| Travel Auctions-Fun Way to Bargain Travel |
By now you’ve probably used an online booking site like Expedia or Travelocity. These sites are easy to use and often offer great deals on travel packages, hotels, car rentals, and flights. But, there is an even more fun and easy way to book your travels online! Consider participating in a travel auction! Online travel auction sites allow users to bid on a variety of travel deals and may offer greater savings than other online travel sites. Just like any other auction site, users search for and then bid on specific “items” during the bidding period, when the bidding period ends the user with the highest bid wins the item. Typically, travel details are entered after a winner is chosen. Here are some helpful tips for using a travel auction site: *Be patient. Travel auction sites are getting very popular and some people are bidding way over cost but deals can still be found if you are patient. *Read all the fine print, as there may be taxes and fees that can increase the price. Sometimes the increase can be quite significant so you should consider the total cost (after tax and fees) when bidding for an item. *Be flexible. Travel auctions are not ideal for travelers that require traveling on specific dates. Sometimes you may purchase the item and then chose dates at a later date. *It may be helpful to know on average what the cost would be through a travel agent or other site. If the bids get too high, it may be easier to go elsewhere. *See if there are any auction alert systems available on the site. Use this function to track your auctions. If available, it may be beneficial to see how items have been selling in the past. This can help you establish a maximum bidding price. Sometimes booking travel and planning may be boring and tedious but with travel auctions, you can have fun while getting a great deal. To get started check out skyauctions.com! |

| South Carolina is a state that offers miles of sandy coastline, thick woodlands, and several must-see towns. Myrtle Beach offers quaint cottages, exclusive resorts, affordable inns, and beach houses of all sizes. The Myrtle Beach strip is full of restaurants, bars, and stores for all tastes and price ranges. Its promenade is fun for the whole family with sidewalk shops, funnel cake vendors, arcades, a towering Ferris wheel, and a variety of amusement park rides. Here calabash style seafood reigns supreme, from fried shrimp, flounder, and clam strips, to oysters by the bucket that you can shuck yourself or have served raw or Rockefeller. Try these with a side of coleslaw, hush puppies, a brimming bowl of she-crab soup, and a glass of sweet iced tea and you have one tasty dish, all served with that famous Southern charm. Southern barbecue, which is famous throughout the Carolinas, is also a local favorite, particularly when served with a side of green beans and Brunswick stew. Yum! The coast of South Carolina is also dotted by barrier islands, some inhabited, some not, some luxurious, some rustic. To get there, visitors can charter a boat from the mainland, those feeling more adventurous can paddle out on a sea kayak and camp for the night. Either way you’re in for a treat. Speaking of boats, many visitors charter a deep sea fishing boat to take them to the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, where fish are aplenty. The beautifully preserved, stately port town of Charleston is another hot spot. A former military stronghold of the South, Charleston offers a rich history wher e visitors can still see the huge forts and cannons that guarded its shores at The Battery and battlefields made famous by both the Civil and Revolutionary Wars.
