Why wait?

I don't know about you, but I love a good bargain. When I find something at the store, even if I really like it, I always think "If I just wait, I know it'll go on sale and I can get it cheaper." Of course, that doesn't always work, but most of the time it does.

Travel deals don't always seem to work out the same way. It never fails, that when I find a great deal on a flight or hotel room, if I decide to wait the deal seems to vanish. Now, I, of all people, am not saying that you should jump in as soon as you see a good deal. It's always best to do your research and make sure you're getting the best deal. But if you are sure it's a great deal, why wait?

Of course, the cheapest seats on a flight and the best rates on hotel rooms will always sell out first. And if your top priority when planning your vacation is price, it's always best to book early.

The exceptions to the rule are always those last-minute, great-deals everyone claims to have. I have never personally found one of these great deals, but then again, I'm always too excited about planning to wait to the last minute to book.
