My business card may reflect the fact that I'm an expert in all things travel, but it doesn’t mean I know every.single.teeney.detail about booking your best vacation. In fact, sometimes I learn a few things from fellow plane passengers.
Yesterday, for example, on a chicken bus flight (seriously, the crew was so bad they actually miscalculated the flying time, among other weirdo service snafus), I was seated next to a guy who has seen more countries in the past few months than I have in the last two years. We swapped stories about our favorites, and he gave me the gossip on one of his top travel websites—SellOffVacations.com.
Tours, like cruises, don’t like to operate on low occupancy, which means they often offer last minute deals for—repeat after me—C H E A P. My fellow flyer had mentioned he scored a trip to India for $999, including airfare, meals and lodging, as well as an equally awesome price on a 17-day trek around Morocco. Just a quick look at the site myself and I found an all-inclusive 4-night package to the Bahamas for $299 at a four star hotel. Yowzas! The only hitch? Most flights leave from Canada. Got to SellOffVacations.com for more info.
That’s me in the photo with my cabin butler aboard the Deccan Odyssey, a fabulous train experience in India.
