You're sitting around with your girlfriends having some wine and discussing the need to get away from it all - even for a few days. So the bold one in the group suggests a quick trip to Mexico next weekend. Catching everyone in just the right mood, the trip in on! In the midst of chatting excitedly about the sun, surf and sand, you suddenly realize that your passport has expired. 

As fear grips your heart, thinking of how you can't possibly miss the trip, you suddenly realize that all hope is not lost. After you tell the girls to keep planning, you head for the nearest computer and type in RushMyPassport.com. Within 24 hours, you have your passport in hand.

So are you wishing that you had gone ahead and taken that summer vacation instead of making the grown-up decision to stay at home and conserve cash? No need to beat yourself up - there are still a few weeks of summer left, and we can point you in the right direction for find the cheapest airfares around. CheapOAir.com is our new favorite travel agent, and we promise that they book you on real airlines that you are familiar with (read: no flights on Hank's Bargain Airlines).

We have found that CheapOAir.com offers a wide variety of flight times and airlines, so it is very easy to fit into your schedule. And, like most travel sites, they also offer great deals on rental cars, hotels and cruises.  We love CheapO's Top 25 Deals section - it has the best deals they have to offer divided up into categories like student travel, weekend getaways and around the world.

We're all for good deeds and good news at Daily Cents, so we knew you'd want to know about a generous new alliance between Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, a leading global hotel company, and Soles4Souls, a non-profit organization that collects shoes for redistribution to those in need.

In our travels, we have always envied men and the practicality of their multi-pocketed, photojournalist vests, but hated wearing them ourselves. They’re fine if you’re a broad-shouldered, six-foot-something, two-hundred-pound male covering a war story, but on smaller-framed females they’re uncomfortably heavy, unattractive and scream journalist (can you say, target?) in places where we'd just as soon blend in. Enter the ScotteVest - our new favorite traveling companion.

The vest is designed to have everything you need within easy reach, discretely concealed on your person, rather than carrying them in a separate daypack or carryall, susceptible to theft or easy to leave behind. Until now, the perfect vest eluded us. Not only did ScotteVest design a functionally stylish vest with 21 streamlined, no-bulge pockets and hidden compartments in a lightweight, breathable and water repellant material, but, nipped at the waist and falling below the hips, it even flatters!
