Rental Car Deal

I am so checking this out for our trip to Hawaii: Enterprise is offering a special weekend discount rate starting from $9.99 per day on economy and compact cars when renting Friday through Monday. You can also get similar savings for larger cars. This rate is available at most of its 5,500 locations in the U.S. The special runs through May 23, 2012.

It includes a suite, continental breakfast for two, two hour-long massages and $100 credit for dinner. Rate starts at $675.

Are You An Ultimate Traveler?

The World's Greatest Traveler website has developed the ladder of travel addiction. It rates you on how many activities you've completed, with points given for taking an exotic honeymoon, visiting more than 50 countries and backpacking through Europe. Kind of fun, although I'd add a few more of my own, including planning your next trip while you're still on one and having a suitcase semi packed at all times.

Pick of the Week

When I use these new Bodyguard Moxy earphones at the gym, I always have to turn the TV volume down, as these are so good. Thanks to 10 tiny HD speakers housed, the quality is amazing and they don't slip out of my ears when I'm exercising. These are also my first choice for playing podcasts on my iPhone and to take on the airplane. Plus a portion of the purchase price goes to fund worldwide distribution of hearing aids. $64.95 at www.bodyguardz.com
