Website of the Day: Otalo
Few things are as fun as starting to plan your vacation, and then actually getting to go on that vacation. Not so awesome? Hunting all over the Internet for ways to get there and where you're going to stay.
Website of the Day: Yapta
Similar to Farecast, Yapta lets you track airline prices so you can get the best deals on flights. Unlike Farecast, Yapta will alert you when the price drops so that you can either get that refund on a purchased ticket or buy that low-fare ticket on the prime flights. Thankfully Switched got the low down from Jeff Pecor, Yapta's PR Director about whether or not you get refunds if ticket prices drop after you buy your ticket.

Though it wasn’t cheap (France and Italy cost roughly $4,300 alone) Ms. Clark made it work by using frequent flier miles to get there and by buying packaged tours to keep her expenses contained.Helpful Websites
