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.

It's been awhile since we had a BootsnAll member stop by the office. However, thank to a recent post on the message boards wondering where the Boots Crew were these days, we managed to arrange lunch with Bideshi, aka Mike (blue shirt below).
With a couple of stints working in South …

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.
