{CLOSED}

Welcome to our Step into Summer event! Melissa and I have some wonderful things lined up for you to help you get ready for summer. Make sure you visit Melissa at Outnumbered 3 to 1 daily to see what she has in store for you too. Many days we will be reviewing and giving away the same item on both blogs – that is two chances for you to win!

Though summer is winding down, there is still plenty of time left to travel, or fit in a last minute vacation!  Hotels.com is here to help!  If you aren’t familiar with Hotels.com, here is a little information on them:

For more than 15 years, hotels.com has provided you with great prices on the places you want to stay for both leisure and business travel. We know that the hotel experience is an important part of your trip. This is why we provide insight on our broad selection of hotels through current, unbiased hotel reviews from discerning guests just like you who have stayed at the property. Hotels.com acts as a resource for like-minded guests to review and rate properties, give recommendations and gather information for upcoming trips.

Hotels.com offers more than 70,000 properties worldwide from hotels to bed-and-breakfasts to condos to all-inclusive resorts. We offer the information you need to book the perfect trip through detailed hotel reviews, Flexible Booking and our Price Match Guarantee. Hotels.com is an operating company of Expedia, Inc.(Nasdaq: EXPE). hotels.com WE KNOW HOTELS INSIDE AND OUT.®

While looking around on their site, I was quite impressed.  They have some amazing deals and lots of specials {and who doesn’t love a deal?}.  They have select cities on sale, holiday sales, and you can also take advantage of last minute details.  They have a price match guarantee.  I really like this idea,

The hotels.com Price Match Guarantee protects your pocket book and takes the worry out of booking a hotel room. After you book with hotels.com, if you find a lower publicly available rate online for the same dates, hotel, and room category, we will match the price and refund you the difference.

And unlike some of our competitors, we will match the price right up to the time of the property’s cancellation deadline, whether that is three days after you made the booking or three months. So stop worrying and start booking.

I know I am ready for a vacation, how about you?  I’ve been busy doing a lot of blog related traveling, but I dream of a vacation on a beach. Or a vacation where I can simply relax.

There is a really fun sweepstakes going on now at Hotels.com with some amazing prizes.  The Hotels.com “I Need a Vacation” Sweepstakes is easy to enter – simply upload a picture of your best “I need a vacation” look, and you will be entered to win a vacation for life.  They are also giving away a Flip Ultra Camera daily!  Increase your odds by getting friends and family to vote for your photo.  *See sweepstakes rules for complete sweepstakes rules.  Sweepstakes ends September 6, 2010. Here is how the Hotels.com sweepstakes works:

Good news for you!  Even if you don’t win their sweepstakes or my giveaway, you can still take advantage of a great deal.  You can take 10% off at Hotels.com (for booking 8/13 – 8/24 with travel through 8/31)  The code is “STEPINTOSUMMER”.

If that isn’t enough excitement for you, Hotels.com has kindly offered one of my readers {and one of Melissa’s readers!} a $200 gift certificate to use for your next vacation when you book through Hotels.com!
