I like transparency and think this is welcome news for travel consumers. Also a smart move on the part of Expedia, I think.

I think this would be an absolutely fascinating experience! Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Stephanie.

If you can't relax here, you can't relax. Thanks for sharing this piece of tropical paradise with us, Linn!

The Dustia Resort sounds incredible (except for the little pests, lol). Will definitely have to keep it in mind when we travel to Thailand one day. Thanks for a great post and awesome pictures.

We love Thailand and this looks like another place to put on our "must go" list for the next trip. Thanks Linn for a great review!

I do not kayak, but I enjoyed reading about these locations and seeing your excellent photos!! Well done!!

Great suggestions! Another excellent place to Kayak is Johnston Strait, on the inside passage between Vancouver Island and the mainland. Several pods of Orcas live here so your chance of seeing them is excellent!

I'm happy that you enjoyed this post. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for that Suggestion! I'll have to keep it in mind. Canada has so many amazing places to paddle there could be at least 50 that could feature on this list!

You may soon have a real reason to use a "metasearch" site such as Kayak or Travago to find your European hotel room, rather than an actual booking site such as Booking.com or Expedia. Up to now, almost all prices have been the same; that may be about...

Kayak.com has become the first of the major U.S.-based search engines to make it possible to search for flights to Cuba from U.S. cities, in the wake of the loosening of travel restrictions. Not that U.S. airlines have jumped in with non-stops, yet,...

Wanderu, a startup travel aggregator (think Kayak) is now offering schedule and fare information for the major U.S. bus lines (Greyhound, Megabus and Boltbus) and has just signed a distribution agreement with Amtrak that will allow them to include...

Or maybe 2.   Expedia has snapped up Orbitz and its subsidiary brands, including ebookers.com and CheapTickets.com. In the past year it has also acquired former main rival Travelocity.   Its remaining big rival is Priceline, which owns...

Ryanair has proposed that airlines take the offensive against online travel sites and price comparison sites, such as Expedia, Opodo, Kayak, etc.; he believes they "shouldn't exist" and "make no sense." He's written to four other big European carriers...

In a move possibly intended to show a little difference from its rivals, Expedia will now display typical airline fees, including baggage charges and change fees before the final purchase of the ticket.   Typically, up to now, those charges are...

Floating Authority shares ten top spots to go kayaking in Canada. Canada may well have the best assorted destinations for kayaking of any country in the world.

A fascinating and not well known destination. Stephanie is introduced to kayaking in a place that is both historic and natural, and very near the nation's capitol.

(Isla Espiritu Santo, views of the Sea of Cortez, Mexico) As a lad I enjoyed exploring the world through the pages of a good book.  Arthur C. Clarke lead me on diving adventures off Ceylon and Australia, as well as on a...

    In a most improbable feat of natural engineering, a beautiful nearly 200′ (60+ m) waterfall was plopped in the middle of nowhere.  At least many would call the rolling grasslands and eroded lava formations of...

The space-age equivalent of the old cruise to nowhere—sail out into international waters and return—is now available for booking on Kayak.com, at prices ranging from £63-80,000 for a 40-minute trip from Curacao to Curacao. The  flights are being offered by XCor, one of several companies competing for rich space tourists. Passengers, one per flight, will take off horizontally, go vertical on rocket power to about 40 miles up and then glide down in a 'slow' sightseeing...

Samantha shares her visit to Split Rock Creek and Park in South Dakota. It was interesting and she learned a little bit about Jesse James and some of his adventures in the area.

I am going to miss an independent Orbitz. I really like Priceline and Expedia but occasionally i found a flight that was cheaper to book on Orbitz.

I think that's a positive thing . I believe the vast majority of hotels will still give Booking.com the lowest price but the added competition now should be good for consumers

DrFumblefinger recalls one of his more memorable trips, a week of sea kayaking with his 13 year old son in British Columbia's Inside Passage.

Excellent article and photos!

Stephanie shares some highlights of a visit to beautiful Raystown Lake, Pennsylvania.

Koh Kood, or Koh Kut, was for me an unknown island, and I was excited to experience it. The island is fairly large, actually the 4th largest in Thailand, and is situated in the eastern part, just a short boat ride from  Trat.
