I use Google all the time when planning for travel, especially for flights or skyscanner.com is also good. I use Trivago.com for hotels because you may find a cheaper price at the same hotel!

War Games & Board Games
If you enjoy historical games on past or future conflicts, here are some favorites.
Here is a partial list of some very interesting wargames to play. The forum is: facebook.com/groups/firefightgames
Firefight Wargames
Some of the family oriented boardgames are a hoot to play with others. Get some pizza, beer, wine, and have a blast with family or friends! Having played all, they are all great for get together with friends and family.

Like music, it is of personal interest, but do notice, several are by yours truly. And who does not like The Beatles! There are even children books on this band.
Books of Interest
This is a GREAT historical magazine with a game. All periods are covered from Roman Empire to South China Sea. Published every two months. Lots of good material and reading. Very engaging and of high quality!
Against the Odds
While it is Japanese magazine with a game, most of the game rules are also available in English. The games cost $35-40 per issue and includes fast mail to USA. Also sold at: http://petitslg.shop-pro.jp/ Email: [email protected]. They have some great games that will keep you busy!
Banzai Magazine from Japan

Six Angles is another great Japanese wargame magazine. Like Banzai, the game rules are also available in English. They have been publishing for over 15 years and are of high resale value for their quality. They have some great games, too.
