There are many people that often forget the best of what their state has to offer. If you’re one of those people and you live in New Mexico, here’s a reminder. For a taste of the Old West, the Billy the Kid Museum is western family fun at its finest, as is a scenic steam engine train ride on the the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. Carlsbad Caverns is one of the most spectacular and largest caverns in the world, and for a taste of ancient Native American culture, Chaco Canyon and the gravity-defying Gila Cliff Dwellings are hard to beat. And the same goes for America’s oldest city, the one-and-only Santa Fe. In case you’ve forgotten or have simply never been, it’s unique architecture, tempting southwestern cuisine, rich culture, and thriving arts scene are simply unparalleled. There’s also Taos Ski Valley, hundreds of miles of off-road Jeep paths, a plethora of scenic hiking trails, and over 300 square miles of windswept dunes at White Sands. So plan a trip, and see why New Mexico is so enchanting. |

| Travel Auctions-Fun Way to Bargain Travel |
By now you’ve probably used an online booking site like Expedia or Travelocity. These sites are easy to use and often offer great deals on travel packages, hotels, car rentals, and flights. But, there is an even more fun and easy way to book your travels online! Consider participating in a travel auction! Online travel auction sites allow users to bid on a variety of travel deals and may offer greater savings than other online travel sites. Just like any other auction site, users search for and then bid on specific “items” during the bidding period, when the bidding period ends the user with the highest bid wins the item. Typically, travel details are entered after a winner is chosen. Here are some helpful tips for using a travel auction site: *Be patient. Travel auction sites are getting very popular and some people are bidding way over cost but deals can still be found if you are patient. *Read all the fine print, as there may be taxes and fees that can increase the price. Sometimes the increase can be quite significant so you should consider the total cost (after tax and fees) when bidding for an item. *Be flexible. Travel auctions are not ideal for travelers that require traveling on specific dates. Sometimes you may purchase the item and then chose dates at a later date. *It may be helpful to know on average what the cost would be through a travel agent or other site. If the bids get too high, it may be easier to go elsewhere. *See if there are any auction alert systems available on the site. Use this function to track your auctions. If available, it may be beneficial to see how items have been selling in the past. This can help you establish a maximum bidding price. Sometimes booking travel and planning may be boring and tedious but with travel auctions, you can have fun while getting a great deal. To get started check out skyauctions.com! |
