Budget Travel/Cheap Travel

Question
I want to travel to a place in mid August of 2008. I live in Pennsylvania. The typical trip around here is to visit the New Jersey beaches, which to me is not ideal. Anyways, I have a budget of 1500-1800 dollars, which would include, airfare, food, entertainment, hotel, etc.I have a wife and I would like to take her somewhere romantic, clean, quiet, where good food and such can be appreciated. If possible by a body of water or a mountain range or an awesome culture, if possible all three. Let me know what you think.

Answer
Greetings TOM:

This may be your very lucky day. My specialty is FREE air travel.  With FREE airline tickets and your $1,800 budget you could do any of the following:
1) My Best Thumbs-Up choice, especially for East coasters who seldom venture to the awesome South Pacific......ONE
WEEK IN MAUI.  Maui is very close to paradise on Planet Earth.
2) A one week Caribbean cruise out of Miami or Puerto Rico. Just book, as we do, the lowest cost inside cabin which should run as low as $700 each.
3) A one week Mexican Riviera cruise out of L.A. Also very cheap.
4) A week in Orlando
5) A one week Alaska cruise usually from &799 or so when you have FREE airline tickets.
6) One week to any U.S. city

How can you do this?  All the below info will point you in the direction of obtaining 2 FREE RT airline tickets just as we have been doing with similar promotions so that we’ve been flying free around the globe for more than ten years.

In general, Maui for example, with FREE airfare you will be saving about $1,500.  We own two studios at Maui’s Royal Kahana resort. I just googled and a lovely studio in August with a rental car goes for about $1,600. Since the studio has a full kitchen plus pool side Weber  BBQ's you can avoid expensive restaurants and keep within budget. Also you would buy an Entertainment Hawaii book (see my newsletter article on Maui).

Good luck. Here are all the LINKS. Do your homework by readingthese and you will hopefully be a few key stokes away from
your FREE Maui tickets. LIkely these LINKS are not clickable so that you will need to cut and paste them. Let me know if any are not working. Also you can go the www.YouTube.com and in the search window type my screen name which is  worldromer and you can find many of these videos.  Or in the search window type   free global travel 4 you

and you will arrive at my free newsletter promo video with LINKS to our newsletters (just in case below LINKS don't for any reason work).
