It's Not Too Early to Think About Holiday Travel
If you like to travel over the Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's holidays,
go-today travel
has some deals to Paris, London, Rome and other European destinations.
You can spend 6 nights in London over the Christmas holiday for about $1000, including air from New York JFK. Or consider Thanksgiving in Barcelona, New Year's Eve in Prague, or any of the other European capitols offered.
Smaller European towns have quaint and beautiful Holiday markets, and you can visit many of them on a land tour or a river cruise. Globus offers both - they have several land tours, including Bavaria, Alsace, Eastern Europe, and Rome. Their river cruise visits towns and markets along the Danube, from Prague to Vienna.
Winters in Europe are not as cold as they are in the northern U.S., and prices are lower. Plus, Globus has some special early-booking offers for air inclusive vacations.
They have deals on non-holiday winter vacations too, including the British Isles - and they do not charge a single supplement for solo travelers on their European Winter vacations!
