A Holiday Weekend And I Need Outta' Here
 
Here it is, Memorial Weekend and the weather is forecasted to be “iffy” here for part of the holiday. Checked into flights and they, of course, are all expensive. {Haven’t tried Priceline.com yet though.} Ahhh... a nice beach, shore, water, sand between my toes... it all sounds heavenly. It's been a long week. Oh well....<BR><BR>Just dreaming… enjoy your weekend and happy trails.<BR><BR>Paul<BR><BR><BR>

Where are you trying to get out of for the weekend?

Susan May 23rd, 2002 08:38 AM

Paul, don't despair yet. Try lastminutetravel.com, and travelocity has last minute travel packages if you click on "deals." Also, American Airlines always offers last minute Netsaver fares on specific routes. I think even Orbitz has some last minute deals listed. It could happen.

Hi x and Susan,<BR>I am on lunch break and reading your response. I am in Michigan and it is a beautiful day today. Storms overnight tonight and into Friday. Saturday is ?, Sunday and Monday are both supposed to be about 72 and partly sunny. I might stay put, but Susan's ideas sound wonderful! Off to check them out. {Thanks!!!}<BR><BR>Happy Trails,<BR>Paul

Hey Paul-Why don't you hop in your car and go to Put-In-Bay for the weekend?? Great place to get away and unwind.<BR><BR>Url: www.put-in-bay.com<BR><BR>Or, go to Pelee Island in Canada and stay at the Anchor and Wheel, great place, great food. You can get there by ferry from Sandusky, Ohio.<BR>www.pelee.com

Thanks everyone for your responses. I guess I was writing yesterday out of pure frustration and being tired. I have bookmarked a few of the sites you recommended. Thanks so much. I am leaving for a vacation on June 14th, so I guess I will sit back and chill until then - maybe clean the garage this weekend. :-) <BR><BR>Happy Trails,<BR>Paul

Thanks for wasting our time, Paul.

Dear Ed,<BR>It is obvious that you have a lot of time to kill as you took the time to post to me. Actually, I did get a lot of useful information from my post (thanks!). I also checked out flights to many of the places where I wanted to go and saw no great deals to be had (Vegas, Naples, Palm Beach, etc.).<BR><BR>Have a great day and happy trails to all.<BR>Paul
