New Deals & Cool Stuff 6.4.11

Today, I'm taking the day off to play in the sun with my husband and dog, because it's the 3rd nice day of this whole year and if we have another day out of the 60s anytime soon I'll be shocked. It's also not raining, so you'll have to excuse me for being excited. Today, I thought it might be fun to give you a rundown of the latest and greatest travel deals of the week and tell you about a new opportunity I've taken that you might also enjoy.

Since I've been slacking on the deals of the week lately, I've rounded up all the fantastic deals I've found that you might be able to take advantage of now. 

Travel to Tahiti for less and have a romantic getaway with your sweetie. This package from Pacific Holidays includes 5 nights (2 of which are free) at the InterContinental Tahiti, airfare/hotel transfers, RT air from Los Angeles, daily breakfast and more. You'll get upgraded to a lagoon room, too, all for $1555 per person. 

Want to travel on someone else's dime? Well, I'm sure we all would. The closest thing I could find was $50 off a $100 credit for Southwest Vacations through YipIt. This is only good through tomorrow, though, so order now!

Hilton Family Hotels (which is comprised of Hampton, DoubleTree, Embassy Suites and seven other great names) wants to help you travel within your budget this summer with up to 40% off rates for rooms booked by August 22. You must stay by September 5. 

Not to be outdone, Hyatt Family Hotels wants you to stay for less and do more at your destination with a welcome credit of up to $500 at selected destinations now through December 30. 

If you live in the UK, he's a fantastic getaway: 5-night all-inclusive stay at the Mitsis Serita Beach Hotel in Crete and roundtrip airfare from London Heathrow on Aegean Airlines for just £399 per person. Your stay will include all food and drinks (including alcohol), flight meals, snacks and non-motorized activities (like volleyball, table tennis and peddle boats). If you want to make it a family getaway, extra travelers and/or children can be included at a reduced price.

Do you have a bunch of pictures from vacations that you haven't printed yet? Print them for less with Snapfish. Pay just $10 for 100 4x6 prints through June 6 when you use promo code MEM100PICS.
