Does your dream vacation seem out of reach? Think again. Every destination goes on sale at some point.The trick is to find the deal when it is hot. If you are a busy professional like myself, there is a good chance that you don’t have time to search for the deal you want. My solution: let the deals find you.  The best way to do that is to sign up for travel alerts. Here is a “best of” list that I have compiled.
