Is Spring in the Air ?
Every now and then,
when the wind drops and the sun is out – it reminds you that warmth is just
around the corner . . .
Of course, you could take
a short break now, and have some REAL sunshine . . .
Now that there are so many
low-price airlines around, short breaks are so easy and (usually) cheap.
Pick a spot, and call the
Club. Cities such as Seville or Paris or
Prague or Venice or Amsterdam are a great way to spend a few days, and there
are cheap flights to beach resorts like Palma or the Algarve or the Greek
Islands . . . we have loads of good
priced hotels – and quite a few of them are doing 3 for 2, and 2 for 1 offers
over the next couple of months.
We have special systems that
can tell us which low-cost airline flies to any particular point, so we can
tell you who goes where, then you pick the destination, and we find you the
accommodation and/or car hire . . .
