40% Off U.S., Canada Hotels

I'm a strong believer that everything that was once old will be new again—even things that are better left in the past like ankle warmers or slap bracelets—which is why I am tickled when my theory is proven right with something that's a sight for a sore wallet. I'm referring to Expedia's Summer Hotel Sale, which was originally slated to end on June 29, 2010, but is now available through July 27. You can save up to 40 percent off hotels in the U.S. and Canada if you travel by August 31, making it easy to throw on a classic '80s ballad and take a drive down memory lane. Who knows? You might even start a trend that brings back hair bands. Or not.

Rooms in the U.S. start at as low as $48 per night; rooms in Canada start at $71 per night. Taxes and fees are not included. Offer is subject to availability, and blackout dates may apply. Even though this deal has made a second appearance, it's wise to book if you see a room at a price within your budget, because once it's gone, it may be gone for good.

Your Turn

Do you plan on taking advantage of this hotel deal? What do you wish would make a comeback, travel or otherwise?
