If you are into schoolies<\/p>\n

Where it all started, – the Gold Coast and already a list of suggestions which should keep every participant happy.\u00a0 There is a range of good value getaways for the 2010 celebration.\u00a0 This is an assignment that should be enacted upon, and quickly.\u00a0 Try this one for size.\u00a0 Surfspray Court which is a low-rise resort close to all of the action, priced from $395 per person for seven nights in a one-bedroom apartment. The 2010 event is still a year off, yet bookings have been fast and furious. Check out www.bookschoolies.com<\/a> <\/p>\n

And, this one<\/p>\n

Our dollar is working wonders at the moment heralding a massive surge in lease-car bookings for those of us travelling to Europe.\u00a0 Holidaymakers just need to book and pay before October 30 for collection of a vehicle up to and including December 31 this year,\u00a0 to enjoy some real savings. The Renault Eurodrive leasing program has been operating since (believe it or not) 1955. For all the details contact your travel agent or ring toll-free 1300 55 11 60, or go visit www.renaulteurodrive.com.au<\/a> <\/p>\n

And, a final comment<\/p>\n

Having last week travelled on the Brisbane-Avalon operator, namely\u00a0 JetStar, I could not find even the tiniest of fault in any sector of the trip.\u00a0 Even the security folk operating at the Avalon end had smiles on their faces.\u00a0 Service aboard the cut-price airline was faultless.\u00a0 Mine was a paid air fare, so I hand out the plaudits and the awards as a paying customer.\u00a0 Good one JetStar.<\/p>\n
