PriceLine

Forgotten-NY

Forgotten-NY.com is your tour guide to the New York City of the past, from 18th-century cemeteries to nightlife neon. Rich photo essays and extensive info document the remnants of forgotten eras that remain just around the corner or down the street. There's no clean navigation here; just like the rambling walks it documents, the Web site is a luscious sprawl to get lost in for hours, whether or not you live in the Big Apple.

Expedia

This travel site makes planning, researching, and booking your vacation a breeze. Its simple interface makes it easy to coordinate your flight, hotel, and rental car service for your trip, and the site offers great deals so you won't come home broke.

On Google Maps Mania, you'll find recent sites highlighted, and classics listed. So if you're looking for, say, a place to share favorite cycling routes, a mash-up using the New York City subway map, or an interactive BBC news map, you're in luck.

Travel is expensive! Orbitz makes it a little less painful. This easy-to-use site features competitive pricing on flights, hotels, car rentals, and full vacation packages.

You can also sign up for convenient mobile alerts about flight delays and other information and share them with others.

Google Maps
Maps.Google

When it comes to online mapping, Google Maps is the best (true that—double true!) app on the Web. Faster than both Mapquest and Yahoo! Maps, which send slow-loading full-size maps from the server to your computer, Google Maps saves time by creating its clickable, draggable maps in pieces on the server, then assembling them on your screen. Each time you drag to a new spot on the map, it just sends another piece—there's no waiting for the page to reload.

AirfareWatchdog

Other travel sites may use Web crawlers to find the lowest fares, but Airfarewatchdog's allure is that it uses real people to bring you low fares, even ones from smaller airlines. View the Top 50 Fares, Fare of the Day, and find out the best places to sit on U.S. airlines. There's even a Travel Q&A section to provide tips on things such as rental cars, cruises, and health/safety.

FlightAware

Especially in these days of long airport delays and flight cancellations, FlightAware is a great tool for tracking your loved one's journey home. The site gives real-time locations for flights in the air, letting you quickly know when friends and family will actually be arriving at the gate. Or just browse to check out what today's skies look like.
