Yipeeeeee – Turks & Caicos Is On Sale!

Those of you who know me well, know that although I’ve traveled all across the globe, Turks and Caicos is the only destination I’ve ever seriously considered moving to.  Yes, it’s that wonderful!  Spectacular beaches, aquamarine and electric blue ocean, friendly locals, world renowned bone fishing, an eclectic array of restaurants, and gorgeous upscale resorts await.  The fact that it was protected from major development until a dozen years ago, helps to explain why it remains a pristine paradise that attracts movie stars and beach lovers alike.  But alas, as luxury resorts have gone up, so have the prices.  It’s been rare to see dramatic sales in Turks and Caicos – so when promotions are announced, it’s time to celebrate and book a trip.  Here are details of the best current promotions:

American Airlines has announced a Caribbean airfare sale (including Turks and Caicos) for flights between April 1 – May 22nd, purchase by March 22, 2010.

The West Bay Club – One of Turks and Caicos’ newest and most appealing boutique properties on celebrated Grace Bay, is tempting you to stay longer with free night offers that continue from April 11th through November 22, 2010.  Book three nights in a luxury one bedroom or larger accommodation and receive an additional night free.  Or relax for 5 nights and receive two additional nights free.  This offer is valid for stays from 4/11 – 5/31/10.  Beginning June 2nd, the resort offers a 5th night free plus 10% off their great summer rates for stays of five nights or longer.

How Many Skiers Does It Take To Rock The Mountain?

If you’re anywhere near the Rockies this spring you may just find out as Colorado ski resorts throw huge spring festivals to celebrate the end of the ski season! Ski die-hards and Boarder fanatics looking for the last powder runs of the winter should head to the Colorado Rocky Mountains where beer bashes and outdoor concerts promise to give you a mile high buzz to go with your ski tan.   Don’t  miss the spring powder runs  (while it will be ice skating on the mountains in the east) the Rockies are still getting fresh snow.  Here’s a list of where the best  spring ski parties are!

Rock The Boat in Steamboat – Saturdays from March 13 – April 11, 2010
Bud Light sponsors the “Rock The Boat” live concert series at the base of the ski area every Saturday afternoon from mid-March until closing day on April 11th.  There will be live entertainment including reggae, bluegrass, New Orleans R&B and toe tapping Irish jigs.  For a particularly hilarious time, don’t miss the 3rd Annual Splashdown Pond Skim competition on 4/11, when contestants go for distance across an ice-cold pond.  Contestants are judged on the distance of their splash landing, crowd response and craziness of their outfit (no kidding on the crazy part!).  Continue Reading »
