Tremblant Lifestyle

I am planning a 30-day visit to Europe (Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Munich, Amsterdam, Brussels) on a budget during March of this year, therefore would like to stay in backpacker hostels. I shall be with a group of 5 persons. Everybody of the group intends to make it as cheap as possible. Now, should we book our stay in backpacker in advance before coming to each city or I can get vacant rooms on arrival?

I am looking to book a vacation with a friend, but we both live in different states. What would be the best way to book a vacation so we get a deal, but are able to use the double occupancy requirement and leave from different states and meet at our destination. Do I have to go through a travel agent? There are great deals on the web, so I hope there is a way to make it work. Thanks for any suggestions.

I am in England and I need to book an apartment for vacation in New York, through Craig’s list. Has anyone done this before? What is the best - and safest- way to do it?
