Generally, we are big fans of booking most of your trip yourself because it’s usually cheaper and more flexible doing it this way. Of course, there are exceptions: you may find a great package tour deal, or the destination may be too difficult to deal with as an independent Boomer traveler (for those, visit our Tours page).

On this page , you’ll find great ways to book. We like using the booking services below rather than booking directly with hotels because we have saved tons of money and found many surprising places by using these really great booking services. Plus, it’s much easier to keep track of what you’ve booked.
