Erin Go Brag About It

Go ahead tell all your frenemies how you got to Ireland for $150.

Aer Lingus is having a major sale on flights from all over the US to Ireland. In May, one way flights start at $149.00.

If you decide to land in Dublin, the 5 star Dylan hotel is offering midweek stays for 2, starting at 99.50 euros per person per night.

Want to get your Irish up with Champagne taste on a beer budget? Well then fancy yourself a Black Velvet. Legend has it this dark lovely was originally created in 1861 to mourn the death of Prince Albert.

Pour a stout into a Champagne flute. Slowly pour the Champagne or sparkling wine into the stout, careful not to mix.

Guinness turns 250 this year, and the giddyness of it all has prompted them to resurrect propostion 3-17. You can save St. P's Day from being relegated to garish floats, by signing the online petition to make it an official holiday.

Come on, everyone's Irish on St. Paddy's Day.

Want to Jetaway?

Who doesn't. And if I hear about one more stayca....Jetta please.

If you do some homework, you might be able to swing a little out of town mental cleanse.
Here are some deals I just learned about.

No moolah for me in these mentions.

Happy Hunting.

It's all about the last minute.
Now more than ever hotels, resorts, cruise lines, etcetera would rather (deeply) discount their services than stay empty.

lastminute.com is a great site if you can pick up and leave tomorrow. Unfortunately(?), many of us can. You can also schedule a week out and still find good deals.

hotels.com has hotels in Vegas starting at $25.00/night. I heard that the Palace hotel can be found on hotels.com for as low as $12.50 night.

And speaking of Vegas, the Trump Hotel in LV is offering a "Suite Escape" deal for $89/ night that includes a $50 spa credit and late checkout.

No more pirates please. But do check out cheapcaribbean.com
They advertise "unheard of deals" in Mexico and the Caribbean. Their deal of the moment is an all inclusive 3-4 star resort in the Dominican Republic for $67/ night. And they pay you $$$ if it rains while you're there. Talk about your safe harbor.

Cruisin for a deal? Check out none other than cruisedeals.com. I was surprised to see the higher-end cruise ship offers. So you can jet on the cheap but look like a celeb.
