PRICELINE: A TRAVELER'S FRIEND

Ever wanted to go on a quick LAST minute trip, but were afraid you wouldn't be able to find a decent price for flights? Well fret no futher my jet setters, Priceline may be just the site you're looking for when in need. 

Priceline advertises all the time they can help you negotiate your own price and I can honestly say the Name your Own Price tool really works! I was searching for a last minute flight to New Orleans for Fourth of July weekend, and all I kept finding were flights ranging from $375-425! With only 3 weeks left before my "unplanned-last-minute vacay" I decided to use Priceline. I used the name my own price tool and just played around with the price until VOILA!

The negotiator managed to shrink my flight price to $275 roundtrip! That's not bad for last minute! So if you're looking for GREAT flight (or even hotel) deals, try priceline.com and use the NAME YOUR OWN PRICE TOOL.  There are some key things to remember with using this tool:

* Be aware of what the average flight prices are when placing your bid--you don't want to bid too low or too high, you're trying to get the BEST price!

* You will have to put in your card information, but they will not charge you if your bid is not accepted! (Don't worry--my offer wasn't accepted on the first try and my card was not charged)

* You are not allowed to pick flight times or airline carriers when using this tool!

Give priceline.com a try next time you're looking for a last minute getaway!

Top Travel Destinations: New Year's 2012

Hi Jet-Setters!

It's been a while since we last posted, but the Divas are back and ready to get back to blogging in 2012!

Since it's New Year's and everyone is planning where they will ring in the New Year, we are bringing to you the New Year's Top Travel Destinations to ring in 2012.

New York City

When most people think of New Year's they immediately think of Times Squarea and watching the ball drop.

There are a host of parties to choose from, just check out http://www.nycnewyearseve.com/ for a listing.

Las Vegas

Vegas is the perfect party location for those looking to bring in the New Year on the west coast.

Vegas is definitely JSD Approved, since the Divas rang in the New Year in Vegas 2 years ago!

Vegas is the perfect party location for those looking to bring in the New Year on the west coast.

Check out our post here for more on Las Vegas and check out www.lasvegasnewyears.com for info on the best hotspots.

Miami

For those looking to ring in the New Year in a warmer climate, head down south to Miami.

You can lay on the beaches during the day and party it up on South Beach at night.

Read more about our Do's and Don'ts for Miami here.
