Wanted: Vitamin D
It’s about this time every year that we find ourselves dreaming of a winter getaway. The excitement of the holidays are over, the next three day weekend is months off, and summer seems years away (and yes, I realize that’s not a logical thought).
What to do? Well I’m always inclined to find a deal, so one of my favorite new features on BootsnAll Travel Deals is the “Dream” tab — where you enter your departing airport and the super-duper deals engine serves up random hot deals… Maui for $288 roundtrip, next week? Yes, please! Auckland in September? Why yes, I’d love to! A brilliant way to spend your lunch break, anyway.
Need more inspiration? Southwest Airlines is having a coast-to-coast beach sale, Hawaiian Airlines is doing a “secret season” winter sale, and of course JetBlue is always throwing around cheap fares.
Happy winter getaway planning!

Hmmm.. I had never been in Auckland. But want try the SkyJump:) New Zealand’s Highest Jump 192m = 630ft. Jumpstart your holiday by leaping from Sky Tower - the tallest building in the southern hemisphere! Fall at approx 85kph for around 12 seconds before slowing in the last few metres to land safely on the landing platform. Unlike Bungy, there is no hanging upside down or bouncing around. Qualmark endorsed. All equipment supplied. Jumps daily from 10am - except Christmas Day.

One of the things that tends to happen when I talk to people about my job at BootsnAll is the, "Oh, you're so lucky!" moment. I do consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write about travel every day - to do something I love so much that work doesn't feel …

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …

Auckland is always a great get away ….September not perhaps the very best month….if you are into skiing you may find Queenstown better at that time of year….or travel from Auckland to Mt Ruapehu.
But as Auckland is the main entry to New Zealand by air….it is certainly well worth taking advantage of cheap airfares.There is much to do and see close by even in winter.
