[quote=Anonymous]The points guy actually has some decent reviews and I like how he classifies different hotels.

Cruise critic forums for specific ports can have some great recommendations for things to do in that area (not just for cruisers).  Those people seem to spend their whole lives on vacation.

I also really like to check the Tauck tours and Disney Adventure tours detailed itineraries for a specific trip — it can give some really good ideas and also a vague sense of what’s reasonable to do in a day (keeping in mind the tours have people paid to do the mundane stuff like get your luggage so they can probably do more).

I will also just use my iPhone map a lot to figure out distances and drive times and then see what is near to what — it’s so handy.  For instance, for the trip I am thinking about for this summer, I noticed there was a midsized city right between two other places I wanted to go.  So I googled a bit and it seems like a great destination with lots of architecture and museums and the fanciest hotel there is a fraction of the price of the hotel in the capital city.  It’s like discovering Pittsburgh.

I have also still checked Fodor’s, because I’m old.

I would like more blogs I would trust but it’s hard to find ones that aren’t just paid promoters.  This is one that has lots of low key relatively affordable family trips:
