Priceline lists 11 different bidding areas in Boston. Is there any site that will tell me which are the best areas to bid on for visitors with no car? Or which area is best for tourism and sightseeing? Pricelines bidding areas do not seem to conform to anything i can find online or on Boston maps. thx Mel I am going to bid on Priceline for 3 or 4 days hotel stay in Boston, Mass, in September.

When travelling alone, this is okay for me. As a mom, we use Hotwire when travelling with my family. We need a room that will fit 4 people and a swimming pool is a must for the kids. A useful site similar to biddingfortravel is www.HotelDealsRevealed.com, which has Hotwire hotel lists to help reveal the hotel before you purchase. Very helpful for family travel.

I doubt that going via Cancun would be less expensive. I took a quick look at Mobissimo and was seeing round trip fares from Continental in the mid $400's. Aviacsa does fly between LAX and Merida, I believe, and they ought to be lower. If not, perhaps other readers have some ideas... Yolanda,
