re: buying trips on livingsocial, groupon

The wife and I bought a trip off Groupon last year to Ireland and stayed at the Ritz outside of Dublin. Included, flight, hotel, and car. We upgraded to a suite and I think it was something like $3500 total, would do it again for sure.

But there's so many trips to choose from, my biggest concern was the quality of the hotel, and I didn't have to worry too much about the Ritz being decent.
