Globe Rambler

It’s the last day of summer and you’d like to escape for one last time from the gritty urban streets. But it’s already Friday and all your hopes of going away for Labor Day are close to nothing. As now time is of the essence we try to present you some quick tips in the hope it will save you time and also help in taking fast, wise decisions.

A good way to see what’s still available and also a indicator for what you should expect at is Home Away, the world’s leading vacation rentals marketplace. They offer houses for rent all over U.S but also worldwide. If you plan to travel abroad it may be a little bit more difficult as last minute flights are harder to book at this time, but if you’re not afraid to hop in your car and drive for a few hours, this site might just be the one for you. In the next photos you can see a possible destination: a nice cottage in Walden, Vermont and the views it offers – 300-500 $ per week.

At this Home Away link you can find a list of still available houses, just refine your search by entering the area you want to look in.

If you want to travel abroad, as I said, it will be a little more difficult but not impossible. At Expedia I found a great and easy way to search for flights. In less than 2 minutes I’ve found 2 flights departing from New York on 1st of September to Nassau, Bahamas and returning next Wednesday morning (5th Sept.) at a roundtrip price of around 800 $. The site also, while looking for flights, can accommodate you to a hotel in the area, thus approaching two problems in the same time.

At a price starting from 380 $ per person with flight and hotel fare included, Last Minute offers you a great Labor Day escape in Mexico City.

Here are some LastMinute Deals with some search criteria already chosen (New York as default- change it in one click) by us. All you have to do is choose between “flight + hotel”, “flight + car” or “hotel + car” categories and browse the results.

11thHourVacations.com comes to us offering, along other great deals, cruises in the Caribbean, Mexico, Pacific Coast, Bahamas.

For example this spectacular 4 day Cruise starting at only 399 $ per person still has availability and the departure date is 2nd September.

Wouldn’t you like to stay for only 35 $ on The Strip at the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada? Deals like this one are offered to us by Travelzoo, so be sure to check them out.

If you arrive at the Stratosphere on September the 1st and want to stay there for 3 nights, you can book the World Tower - Deluxe King suites for only a total of 150 $. How is that for a bargain?

These were some of our pieces of advice. Surely there are other ways to plan your Labor Day, if you didn’t do it already, but what we tried to do here is to have given you reliable information in order for you to take decisions as soon as possible.

Hoping that we succeed, we wish you a fine and relaxing Labor Day, wherever you are!
