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.

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.

Have you ever wanted to cruise the Panama Canal? This is a big deal, folks. Panama_Canal_Rough_Diagram

I didn’t realize it myself until I read “Path Between the Seas” by David McCullough. If you plan to sail the Big Ditch, this is required reading. Thanks to my friend Brock S., who recommended the book.

Kelly Jo over at USTravel has some great deals with Holland America on Panama Canal Sailings. There are 10-day itineraries for as little as $649 per person, double (wow!). But if you’re interested in the canal, go ahead and explore the 14-day itinerary from Ft. Lauderdale to San Diego.

Right now there is a GREAT deal on the Oct. 16, 2009 sailing: as low as $699 per person, double. Ports include Cartegena, Columbia (BEAUTIFUL city), Huatulco, Mexico, Puerto Vallarta and San Diego.

Have you heard about Belize? South of Cancun, this country is an eco-traveler’s paradise. Kelly Jo found a great eight-day/seven night kayaking adventure that sounds great. The price? Just $1,199 per person, double. It’s a chance to do some island-hopping off the coast. More than 300 islands are located just off the mainland in Belize. Kayaking is a great way to explore! Ask Kelly Jo for more information.

Are you just looking for a cheap cruise? Heck, Kelly Jo has some great deals with Carnival. Three-day itineraries from Southern California to Mexico start at just $159 per person, double. Can’t beat it!!

Start planning your next vacation today. Let Kelly Jo and the professionals at USTravel help. Call them ow at (800)544-2217 or locally in Anchorage (907)561-2434.
