Plus when they say worldwide they really mean it. We took a gander at all the places where you can save money and the list is long and varied. Some ideas that came to mind when we were rummaging through all the deals:
You might want to visit the sea lions in San Diego or do a little surfing in Costa Rica.
Perhaps a trip to Amsterdam to get funky in the red light district or go to just about the opposite situation and visit Buffalo to catch a Bills game.
We hear Chicago is nice in the summer or perhaps a visit one Great Lake over in Toronto.
Mexico is a great deal these days, so it might be worth a jaunt to Puerto Vallarta or if the beach isn’t your thing but you still want to find some sun, roll the dice in Las Vegas.
Of course there is always the Gator’s backyard in Boston. We’d recommend taking a Duck tour and catching a Red Sox game.
We have friends in Atlanta who highly recommend a visit and of course we’re always game for a quick trip to New York City.
If you owe the family some down time, check out the fun in Orlando or maybe leave them at home and drive down to Key West.
The beaches in Los Angeles are always worth a visit and you can sip your drink and watch the beautiful people wander by. There are probably some beautiful people in Cozumel or Cancun as well. Worth taking a look anyway.
Maybe play a bit of golf in Naples or catch some reggae in Jamaica. You know you want to mon.
Of course you could always visit the queen in London or fly the exact opposite direction and commune with the volcano in Hawaii.
See…lots of things to do. All it takes is some imagination and a few travel deals.
Scandinavian Airlines (the big blue SAS symbol you saw on a bunch of planes the last time you connected through Europe) is going to hook you up with a sale. Round-trip airfares start at $489 which is just about the cost of the Delta Shuttle between New York and Boston.
Seems like a pretty nice deal to us here at the Gator. Book before June 24th (damn that is tomorrow – get on it man!)
In case you said “Scandinavia…where is that?” here are some of the countries you should add to your personal bucket list:
• Denmark
• Finland
• Sweden
• Norway
You know…land of the Vikings and all that. Ahh…now you get it. Happy travels!
But come on. Bangkok for US$35 a night! Hong Kong from US$45?!? Seems like we’ll need to be planning a jaunt over the Pacific. Maybe some diving in the Philippines or sailing in Indonesia is in order (as we would never head to Bangkok for the...er...attractions). So many places…so little time.
Some more deals (all in US dollars) to satisfy your travel addiction with:
