HOMEANDABROAD.COM			Plan a trip to one of more than 90 destinations from start to finish. When I checked out a 10 day Vancouver trip, as a benchmark for what would be in store for me in another destination, I was pleasantly surprised at the great trip itinerary that was presented.  You can complete the itinerary with restaurants, hotels, things to do, and free activities.
TRIPPREP.COM			A comprehensive resource with recommended vaccinations, embassy listings and crime advisories for many countries.  Caveat: Incomplete listings of doctors abroad. Also, Information is culled from the state departments of the U.S., Canada, Australia and the U.K. As a precaution, you should check the official government websites of these agencies prior to travel, just in case.  Free registration required.
XE.COM			180 currencies from 250 places, updated every minute. The conversion application is easy to locate.
SEATGURU.COM			Preview seat maps including where to find power outlets as the spaces with extra legroom.  Over 70 models of aircraft at over 35 different airlines.  For those who don't want to be stuck beside the bathroom!
SIDESTEP.COM			Compare this to travelocity.ca or Expedia.ca when making travel arrangements.  A handy matrix at the top of the results page gives an overview of the lowest prices pulled from 600 airlines across 200 sites. And refining your search is easier than most sites.  When comparing flights to Maui, over 335 came up....now that's selection!
LASTMINUTETRAVEL.COM			Find late breaking deals on luxury hotels.  Search hotels by ratings in the city of your choice. I found that the site turns up a decent mix/rate combination of "undercover" luxury properties.  This site made 1 of CNN's Top 25 travel sites.
