<!--SACRAMENTO ONLY-->Travel Deals: Rome, Skiing, Hawaii Contest
For some reason, more than any other location, the toughest competition among vacation providers exists among places offering trips to Italy. While they duke it out, you, the traveler to Rome, get the spoils.
How much would you pay for round-trip airfare from New York City to Rome, five nights' lodging at a three-star hotel, airport transfers and a continental breakfast? $1000? You're going to have to go lower than that! $15? Now you're just being silly; it's more than that.
$589? Exactly! Wow, you're a good guesser. That's %89 per person for two; if you want to go alone, add on another $121. Add if you want to add a kid into the deal, it's only another $519! Add a third adult (and who wouldn't) and that person will pay only $559!
The dates available are odd ones, granted, encompassing November 15 to December 14 and January 4 to March 10. For more information check gate1travel.com. They call it a "7-Day Deal," which is a little off since it's five nights and two days of travel, but hey, close enough.
Tired of the Vail and Aspen scenes? Ever been to Vail or Aspen? Me neither. But from what I hear, they're expensive and overblown. Time to find a diamond in the rough for skiing.
I think frommers.com has found one. Crested Butte doesn't just have a funny name (really close to "Butt" --- heh heh heh -- he said "butt"). It's also an underappreciated ski vacation mecca,
If you can make your own way to Crested Butte (and how hard can that be?), you can take advantage of some amazing deals for lift tickets and lodging. How amazing? Three nights stay and three days of lift tickets for $98 per person, based on double occupancy.
And the hotel is no chop shop outside of town -- you get a queen bedroom at the centrally-located Manor Lodge.
The deal is for Novemeber 22 through December 15 and April 1 through 8. And there are other deals too -- contact Crested Butte through www.CrestedButteResort.com or call 800/544-8448.
