TRAVEL BRIEFS<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s Victory Day in St Petersburg<\/b><\/p>\n

It would make sense to seek a reservation making a link with the 2011 Russian Victory Day celebrations.\u00a0 <\/span>The five-day event combines the May 9 parade which celebrates the end of WW11.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>It’s a full-on package, one which should suit those with even the faintest knowledge of Russian history.\u00a0 <\/span>The tour departs May 7 and includes four-star accommodation, arrival and departure private car transfers, some meals and privately guided\u00a0 <\/span>sightseeing.\u00a0 <\/span>This is a tour not to be overlooked.\u00a0 <\/span>To get the full story why not check out www.bentours.com.au<\/a> or ring 1800 221 712.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ski vacations in the Alps<\/b><\/p>\n

If you are quick off the mark, there’s still time to take on some skiing in the Swiss Alps.\u00a0 <\/span>Check out the ‘Happy Family’ packages\u00a0 <\/span>which combines a week’s accommodation, ski passes and access to sports and leisure centres.\u00a0 <\/span>There are also ‘her and him’ packages and an Easter package which is valid from March 27 to April 25. Check www.leysin.ch<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Air Pacific a fine way to sample Fiji and beyond<\/b><\/p>\n

They claim to be the friendliest airline in the world.\u00a0 <\/span>That’s some claim.\u00a0 <\/span>I first sampled their friendship 15 years ago.\u00a0 <\/span>Almost time for another inspection and sampling.\u00a0 <\/span>Perhaps the package priced from only $1199 ex Sydney or $1299 ex Melbourne.\u00a0 <\/span>That price offers inclusive flight, stay and drink.\u00a0 <\/span>That’s enough to get me checking further.\u00a0 <\/span>I suggest you do the same, just to be sure you have not misread the facts.\u00a0 <\/span>Call Specialist Holidays on 13 13 81 for more news on the option above, and also to check out other packages.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cultural treasures of Japan<\/b><\/p>\n

To get the real feel of Japan, there are special departures April 16. May 13, September 17 and in October, two departures. A nine-day escorted small group is priced from $4401 per person twin share.\u00a0 <\/span>Some departures feature colourful festivals and sumo wrestling.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Make contact with reservations@coxandkings.com.au<\/a> to get the full story on conditions, inclusions and the itinerary.\u00a0 <\/span>The tour package includes some travel aboard the bullet train, tour escort and entrance fees for the itinerary sites. <\/p>\n
