Summer is a bit 'hit and miss' lately isn't it? Fortunately, there's a huge range of sales on at the moment so you can always get your dose of summer elsewhere! Speaking of making your own summer, Air New Zealand has reduced fares to the Islands, and the travel dates work in well with some new accommodation specials - so you save on both sides of the equation! If you have any family travel coming up, I've seen a great reading app called Epic! The best way to describe it is 'Netflix for children's books' so it could be a lifesaver on long trips! As always, just give me a call, or reply to this email if you'd like to discuss any of the deals I've listed below. Our team, Brigitte, Selena and Nicky visited the Holland America Maasdam when it berthed in Timaru in January. How amazing to see the ship close up and the enjoy their hospitality! View our mini video on Facebook here. To keep up with the latest deals….have you liked my page on Facebook? Our Travel Evenings continue to be very popular. In January we had a super Ocean Cruise evening with Debbie – with 25 attending! Contiki evening next week – tell a young person you know! and in March, back by popular demand, Brigitte’s Travel Tips evenings in both Timaru and Waimate. So mark your diaries and book in for these upcoming 2017 Travel Evenings:
