If you have an itch to get out of town, but haven't booked way in advance at your favorite hotspot, have no fear - the early bird doesn't always get the worm. You can find lots of good deals on last minute vacations on the Web with the following websites:

• Site59.com: This site ONLY focuses on last minute vacation packages (you can book as late as three hours before your flight!). Offers up to 70% savings on last minute vacations.
• 11thHourVacations.com: Excellent site with "revolving inventory of over four million vacation and cruise deals, so customers need to act fast and check back often."
• Last Minute Packages from American Airlines: over 100 departure cities at the time of this writing; you choose your flights, hotel, and car.
• Priceline Last Minute Vacations: "Book a last minute vacation package to 100's of top destinations, including Vegas, New York, Florida, and the Caribbean."
• Marriott Last Minute Weekends: There seem to be quite a few restrictions on Marriott's last minute vacation deals, but it's still worth a look.
• Expedia Last Minute Vacations: Has a revolving window of the best last minute vacation deals that they are offering at any one time.
• LastMinuteTravel.com: The best part of this site is the Top 21 Deals page; changes frequently.
• Craigslist: Pick your country or state, then navigate to either the Tickets, Vacation Rentals, or Barter section. I know that folks are able to score some serious last minute vacation good deals here, and you're dealing with people in your local area.
