One of my goals this year is to travel more (for fun, not work), and to visit new and interesting places.
Since I'm completely open to anywhere in the world, I've started using the ultimate travel mashup!
First off, this post requires that you have some working (or rudimentary) knowledge of Google Reader. If you don't, go to Google Reader, and give the tour a shot. Reader is Google's version of an RSS reader, and I've come to rely on it for my daily blog reading, financial and political updates, and sports news.
So, after you've played with Google Reader for a bit, head over to Air Fare Watch Dog. Since I live in Chicago, I typed "Chicago" into the "See Fares from your city" list.
Once I have my airports (Midway and O'Hare) selected, click on the little RSS feed button. On the next page, click on google, and then hit the "Subscribe Now" button.
Done and done! Now you can sit back, and wait for your dream airfare to come directly to you!
Using this method, I managed to score round trip tickets to Costa Rica for $323 (after taxes). Play around with it, and let me know if you guys want screenshots and/or more info!

Airfarewatchdog is great I like it. I also look on Flyertalk's Mileage running forum and use ITA Software's booking engine to look for routes that would not normally come up such MSP - HNL - NRT - SIN and back.
