If there was a trophy you could win for mastering cheap getaway deals via internet, it would have my head on it... probably carved out of a coconut. For the last 8 days, I have become an expert in searching for rad cheap deals to head South. Perhaps it was triggered by all the Cuba ads across Toronto's downtown core? Have you seen all of them? "Cuba Si" is splattered from Parkdale to Yonge and Eg!

Here are great tips for trips out of Pearson Airport: start on itravel2000 , also redtag.ca , I found sunwing last minute deals were amazing, and don't forget about selloffvacations. If you have a flexible work schedule, you could really score some crazy deals like 600 bucks for a 4 star... not too shabby! Now, after you've narrowed it down to a hotel, check out tripadvisor to see what people thought of it. Tripadvisor has loads of Torontonian opinions, which is great, knowing that the opinions posted should hopefully reflect what you want to know. Oh, and ya, I picked a spot... in Varadero, Cuba. Maybe I'll carve my own coconut trophy while down there? Adios!
