John Crook\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meet me in the Sky Bar<\/p>\n

That’s just one of the several drinking spots aboard the 70,000 tonne Century which offers a 21-night fly, cruise and stay package.\u00a0 Spend two nights at the Waikiki Resort Hotel prior to setting sail on the November 11 cruise en route to Sydney, then 19-nights of 4.5 luxury.\u00a0 Prices start from $3835 per person twin-share, with all dining on board, nightly entertainment, port charges and government fees, air taxes and yes, onboard gratuities. A one-way economy class airfare from Sydney to Honolulu is also included in the price.\u00a0 For full details go\u00a0 visit www.cruising.com.au<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n

Staying picture postcard style<\/p>\n

Forget the postcard, go visit the real thing.\u00a0 Phuket is the ideal choice. And the price is not a deterrent, particularly when half-price holidays are on offer.\u00a0 TravelOnline makes the offer on Horizon Patong Beach Resort & Spa, with rates starting from as low as $169 per person twin share,\u00a0\u00a0 and that also incudes return airport transfers, four nights for the price of two in a superior room, plus daily breakfasts.\u00a0\u00a0 The special Thailand tour offer (with conditions) is valid or travel from April 16 to October 31 2011.\u00a0\u00a0 Get the full story, along with competitive airfare prices by visiting www.travelonline.com<\/a> \u00a0
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next best thing to guesting at the palace<\/p>\n

’41’ in London makes the boast of being a discreet, residents-only haven of style and comfort.\u00a0 Guests overlook the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace.\u00a0 And yet another plaudit for this fabulous hotel,- listed as the\u00a0 only London hotel to be voted one of 25 Best\u00a0 Europe Hotels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

You should check the comments from past guests.\u00a0 That will really excite and encourage you to consider spending a night or two.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ’41’ is one of the great properties owned and operated by the Red Carnation\u00a0 Hotel Collection.\u00a0\u00a0 Get the facts by visiting www.41hotel.com<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Early birds get ready<\/p>\n

Move quickly to check on 2011 European river cruises and to capitalise on savings pf $400 per couple.\u00a0 The offer refers to dozens of Avalon Waterways river cruises.\u00a0 It’s available until March 31 2011 or until sold out.\u00a0 Choose from more than 60 departures between July and December.\u00a0\u00a0 Try this for size.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An 8-day Paris to Normandy Landing Beaches cruise on the Seine, now from $2937 per person twin share, including discount.\u00a0 Or, how about a 16-day Grand Christmastime cruise, from Vienna to Basel, from $4686 per person twin share, including the discount.\u00a0\u00a0 For a full itinerary\u00a0 go visit www.avalonwaterways.com.au<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n

Now for something truly appreciated<\/p>\n

The cyclones have passed by, storm waters and flooding, in most cases, ditto.\u00a0 The recommendation is to still take a holiday, but take it in Australia.\u00a0 Consider North Queensland, the central tourist regions of that same state, Central Australia, Victoria \u2013 and probably destinations yet to be listed.\u00a0 The suggestion is to check around, Google a bit, surf the net and see what offers are currently in vogue.\u00a0\u00a0 Not only helping Australia on the move again, but also at the same time holidaying here at home.\u00a0 In most cases the waters have disappeared, the winds have slowed down, and there are literally hundreds of holiday destinations just waiting to give you a smile. \u00a0
\u00a0
Through my syndicated radio travel food and wine programs on RadioTAB Australia I’ll be pushing like mad to encourage fellow-Australians to go take a break, at home, in 2011.\u00a0 By car, train, plane,- you probably can’t do better than putting those holiday dollars back into Australia.\u00a0
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please note conditions may apply to these packages\u00a0 and prices are subject to change and availability.\u00a0\u00a0 This information is provided as a guide only.\u00a0<\/p>\n
