Ski Montana 2010!

We are back from SKI MONTANA 2010!

The trip was amazing! Western Montana is so beautiful...I want to live there forever!

Here's a review:

I booked this trip for myself, and my friend Clint from Georgia through my travel agency, Jolly Mon Vacations. We got a great lift ticket/lodging deal for 4 nights hotel, and 4 days lift tickets.

I drove in, and picked up my friend at the Billings, MT airport...which was right on the way.

The hotel:

C'mon Inn, Bozeman, Montana.

A great new hotel just off the interstate, and only 15 miles from beautiful Bridger Bowl Ski Area. A nice, clean new hotel with a beautiful atrium, pool and a bunch of hot tubs. A nice hot continental breakfast was included, and the staff was very accomodating as well.

This hotel is well located as a "home base" for our ski adventures, as it's a couple turns off the main interstate.

The beds are VERY comfortable, there was a flat panel tv, refridgerator, coffee maker, and a door leading out to the atrium with a table and chairs. A very clean, well maintained room.

The Ski Resort:

Bridger Bowl Ski Area.

What can I say....awesome! We hadn't been to the area in a few years, and Bridger gave us a great package deal with lift tickets and lodging. Upon checking in, they assigned us a mountain HOST when we arrived. Bob took us all over the mountain showing us new areas, and areas of future expansion. He is a gracious 74 year old man, that could ski circles around us! Thanks Bob! Rest assured not only will WE be back, I'll be steering my clients to your mountain facilities as well!

Bridger Bowl has some new 'Magic Carpets' installed on two of the lifts. These moving carpets make getting on the chair lifts much easier. It's a really nice addition. There is also a new lift up to The Ridge, accessing all the expert terrian. Less hiking for the daredevils!

Overall, it was a great trip. Great to see my old ski buddy again, and great to be back in Montana! Two thumbs WAY up. Call me, and I'll set you up with a great package deal at Bridger Bowl, Montana! http://www.jollymonvacations.com/

Wave Season equals cruise sales!

In the travel industry, Wave Season is the period between January and March when cruise lines and travel agents offer bonuses and extra perks to book. Historically, this has been the time when people start planning their vacations for the coming year.

These aren't the only deals to be had, but here are a couple deals worth mentioning. More cruise lines will roll out specials in the coming weeks:

Princess Cruises:

Is offering two Wave Season deals. Free upgrades from outside to balcony cabins on sailings to Alaska, the Caribbean and Europe, and it's slashing fares on select Alaska cruisetours by 25 %.

Viking River Cruises:

If you book a 2010 river cruise to Europe, Russia, China or Egypt by March 1, 2010, Viking is offering 2 for 1 airfare discounts and complimentary wine with dinner.

Norwegian Cruise Line:
