SOUTHWEST AIRLINES

To me, airlines are rarely the hero. Here is an example of why Southwest Airlines WAS the hero. Southwest Airlines had a wonderful sale which ended on the 23rd of June. The low rates were celebrating their 40th Birthday.

We had already made reservations with our dear friends to go from Burbank to Sacramento for our daughter's wedding in the Napa Valley. I had purchased these tickets in March. I was able to revise the pricing LOWER online without any difficulty or penalty. Now, I have a $100 air credit to be used by mid-March! I was able to easily do this transaction on the computer without any change fees!

So the only question is...Where should I go?

River Cruise Special 2 for 1

After knowing me for awhile, most of you know that 2 for 1 pricing isn't always 2 for 1. Most of the time cruise lines market the 2 for 1 pricing off the brochure price rather than their promotional price. This promotion is a true 2 for 1 exclusively for clients of Protravel!
Avalon Waterways is a fabulous river cruise company. They have the newest river cruises on the market. Avalong Waterways is offering 2 for 1 pricing on 8 sailings this Fall along the Danube and Rhine Rivers and Paris to Normandy Beaches. The cruise must be reserved from now until July 27th for sailings July through October. All is based on availability and subject to change. Call me for details!

Single Supplement Special

I love a great value. Single supplements are frustrating to those who want to experience travel by themselves. Abercrombie & Kent has a tour to Kenya in September and they are waiving the single supplement! They also are reducing their Turkey tour in September to 75% and their tour to China in July and August to 50%. Feel free to share this with any singles who love to travel and are interested in these exotic destinations. Singles rejoice!

Everyone Needs a Jack

Everyone needs a special person in their life like my dearest friend, Jack. Jack fixes all things computers. Not only does he fix computers, he patiently (unlike my daughters and husband) teaches me about computers. Jack says, "Computer people will inherit the world...not the meek".
Here's what happened while I was away. My mini-computer wouldn't let me work on blogspot!!!
Java (whatever that is) was corrupted and my husband, Jeff couldn't fix it. Frustrating when you are in the mood to write. I had to write on the hotel and river cruise computers which were not as convenient. In comes Jack.
For the past few years, Jack and Ellen (my best friend and Jack's special someone) and Jeff and I have been having Tech Night. I cook, Jack techs and answers ALL of our questions and fixes all of our problems. Tonight is Tech Night. I have 6 computer issues and by the end of dinner, they will be fixed and I will have learned a little more about computers.
So, lesson learned... Take care of the Jack's in your life!
