Last Minute Summer Travel Deals

Summer’s half over and you still haven’t taken that beach vacation, or maybe you have and your “tranquil vacation trance” has already worn off from too many emails, deadlines and cranky kids. As I’m typing this, I’m on a summer vacation in New Orleans with Mr. Blakes. I’m looking forward to exploring a new city, enjoying some downtime, taking lots of naps, and eating plenty of Louisiana seafood.

If you want to take a vacation this summer, it’s not too late to get in a getaway! And, there are discounts to be had! Expedia VP of Global Communications Sarah Gavin shared with us the latest and greatest travel deals, last-minute travel hacks, exotic destinations and more.

And, to add to the fun, Sarah has the just-released results of Expedia’s annual Flip Flop Report – a look at beach attitudes and behaviors worldwide. Find out how long the average traveler spends getting beach-ready, which countries’ residents don the most risqué beach attire and what behaviors will get you banned from the sand.

Thanks Expedia for the opportunity to talk with Sarah. Do you have any last minute travel plans for the summer?
