Keep pets safe on a road trip
* Prevent illness. If you’re worried your pet might suffer motion sickness, see your vet before you leave and ask for a prescription to treat the condition. When you hit the road, cover the pet’s carrier with a towel so it won’t see scenery whizzing by, making it dizzy. It’s also a good idea to avoid feeding your pet too much during the car ride—this should stave off stomach upset. Give your cat or dog a light meal two or three hours before you leave, advises the Humane Society of the United States. * Take frequent bathroom breaks. Be sure pups are leashed at gas stations or rest stops so they don’t get lost. Put a small tray of litter in your cat’s carrier but also bring a regular-sized litterbox. Many cats won’t go in a small tray if they’re stressed, and “holding it” can cause urinary tract infections. Let them go in the bigger box during stops and hotel stays. Make reservations at pet-friendly hotels ahead of time; locate them at petswelcome.com. Get a room with a door that opens into an inside corridor, not outdoors. If your animal gets loose, you’re more likely to find him indoors than out. SEE ALSO:

Get $200 off your vacation!
Hoping to hit the beach soon? I just returned from a trip to Mexico (Playa del Carmen). It was fantastic: sunny, tropical, relaxing—and best of all, budget-friendly. The conversion rate was definitely to our advantage, but I’m talking about booking the trip. After doing a little online research, I stumbled upon this coupon code for Orbitz.com: ENTERTAIN200. If you book a qualifying package (both hotel and flight) before Dec. 31, 2009 for six or more nights of travel to Mexico, the Caribbean or Hawaii, use the code and you’ll score a whopping $200 off the total. What a great way to start a vacation! SEE ALSO:

Rent a Hertz car—for free!
The rental cost is on Hertz, but you’ll still need to pay for gas, taxes and optional service charges, such as insurance. Yet, two free days of car rental service make this a deal worth cashing in on. Use promo code PC#127595 when making a reservation on an economy through full size car. This code can be applied once in February and once in March. SEE ALSO |

Have you been considering trading in your old car for up to $4,500 for a more fuel-efficient vehicle? The federal government program expires tonight at 8 p.m., so head out to your local dealership today if you want to participate (call ahead to be sure they’re still making cash for clunker sales). 
Heading out for summer vacation with your pet? Here are a few tips for a smooth ride:
Planning a summer trip? Check to see if there is a Country Inns & Suites hotel near your destination. The chain is offering 15 percent off a stay of two or more consecutive nights between now and Sept. 13, 2009 (a three-day advance reservation is required). Go to 
When you go on vacation, see if any front desk personnel at your vet’s office will stop in once a day to feed and care for your pet. This is especially useful for animals with medical needs; my cat is diabetic and requires a once-daily insulin shot. That’s not something I can really ask a neighbor to do, but the receptionist at my vet’s office charges $25/day to medicate and feed my two cats. That sounds like a lot, but it’s a lot cheaper than boarding them.
Planning a trip and don’t want to leave your dog or cat at the vet or kennel? Here’s how to find pet-friendly hotels (be sure to contact the hotel before booking to double-check their policy and see if there are any extra fees):
They say nothing in life is free, but Hertz has a deal that comes pretty close. Now through March 31st, Hertz is giving away
