Kelly Jo at USTravel has been busy digging up some springtime bargains. First on deck, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, is a pub tour of Ireland. Oh, in case there’s any question: Kelly Jo’s last name is McGee. Mine is McMurren. Since I’m Scots-Irish, I’m conflicted (love to drink but hate to pay for it). HA! Check out this eight-night pub tour from Dublin:
-Start your tour at the Guinness Storehouse and learn about the world-famous brew. Then, taste it for your self at the Storehouse’s Gravity Bar.
-Visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral in the heart of Dublin. Your local Irish guide will teach you about the Book of Kells, which you will see at Trinity College. Then, enjoy a Pub Crawl in Dublin.
-Visit Locke’s Irish Whiskey distillery in Kilbeggan (est. 1757). Then taste the goods!
-See Galway Cathedral, the Cliffs of Moher and Killarney.
-Travel the Ring of Kerry.
-Don’t miss the Blarney Stone and Kilkenny. Enjoy visits to local pubs and other attractions!
This eight-day pub tour gives you a great overview of the Emerald Isle, in addition to tasting some great beer! Call Kelly Jo for more details: (907)561-2434.
Choose to cruise with some great bargains!
7-night Mexican Riviera from $549
7-night Caribbean from $599

Wow. I just got a “deals” list from Kelly Jo over at USTravel.
If you’re not on their email list, call her at (907)561-2434 and get signed up. It’s free–and you’ll get first pick of all the cruise deals. Here are some of our favorites:
a. Seven-night Danube River cruise, from $1,897 (in November). Sail in May for as little as $2,797 per person. Fly Condor nonstop from Anchorage or Fairbanks to get there (leaves from Budapest).
b. 10-night “Yacht Havens” cruise in the Mediterranean with Oceania Cruises. Folks–these are really nice ships. Ask Kelly Jo about extra incentives with Oceania, including shipboard credit, 2-for-1 cruise fares and air fare credit. The featured Aug. 5 cruise from Rome to Barcelona is priced from $3,613 per person.
c. Seven-night Mexican Riviera cruise on Princess’s “Sapphire Princess” (pictured above) for as little as $449 per person in April! Choose from two dates: Apr. 10 or Apr. 17, 2010. Sail from Los Angeles (well, Long Beach). Ports include Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. What a deal!
d. Seven-night Eastern Caribbean Cruise aboard the Carnival Liberty. Sail in October or November for as little as $449 per person. Ports include Half Moon Cay, St. Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk. Sails from Miami.
As you can imagine, there are cruises to suit every taste and budget. Kelly Jo has some “food and wine” cruises, some cruises on intimate yachts or mega-ships. One of my favorite “cruises” was a live-aboard dive boat in the Cayman Islands.
Let Kelly Jo plan your next cruise vacation. Call her today: (907)561-2434.
