We have really been impressed by
Kayak. They get rave
reviews from everyone who use them. Probably because they only give
information; they don't fly airplanes nor even sell flights. They are a

There are too many features to list--just take them for a test
run.

Another ongoing change in the travel industry is increasing
availability of affordable rentals of holiday homes, vacation cabins, or as we
call them in the Greek islands, private villa rentals.
