Affordable Ireland Summer Holiday!

I know it seems a misnomer to have the words Ireland (or England or Europe for that matter) and affordable in the same sentence - however, a great deal has come across my desk I have to share.

For just $899/per person (based on 4 pax occupancy) you get roundtrip air with Air Transat to Dublin/Shannon, a 7 day fully furnished cottage rental and a 7 day car rental. This offer departs from Toronto – the 16th, 18th, 20th and 27th of July, 2007. Taxes up to $178 are additional.

Okay - its a little last minute, but then who isn't organizing their life last minute these days? So if you were thinking about renting a cottage this summer, how about doing it on Ireland's West Coast?

This is really a great opportunity to tour the area and the price is fantastic value. Interested? Give us a call at (800)563-2338

Las Vegas Last Minute

Here at The Travel Insider, I try and post specials as they arrive. For the most part, I can't keep up with vacation packages as the last minute pricing changes so frequently that it would be out of date by the time you read this. Best advice - go to our website and do a search. Once you go deeper into the booking process you will connect directly with the tour operators and see live accurate pricing.

For Las Vegas, however, I do have a special to tell you about. Conquest is putting select Vegas product on sale for the rest of the month of February. Details vary on hotel and length of stay - but you can whisk your sweetie away to the City of Sin for just $478 plus tax - includes hotel room and flights!

Ready to make an escape? Give us a call and we can get you a quote. These are great prices, so the availability will sell out quickly. Act now if you want to go!
