Using Travelzoo to Inspire Trips You Never Imagined

I always envisioned myself as a traditional vacationer ... lying out on the beach or at the pool, drink in one hand, book in another and dinner reservations set for 8:30 p.m. every night. However, recently I have noticed myself veering off the traditional path and thinking of taking vacations I never thought I would.

From dude ranches to safaris in Kenya, the next few months of my life are filled with trips found on Travelzoo that I never thought I would take, but could now not imagine passing up!
