Fall Colors Getaway
Clipper Vacations is offering a "Big, Colorful Sale" for those people who can plan ahead and may want or need a getaway between October 1 and the end of the year. Overnight packages including the AAA Four Diamond Hotel Grand Pacific on the Inner Harbour and round trip between Seattle and Victoria on the Victoria Clipper are only $100pp/dbl, and kids under 12 travel free. Extra nights are available, as well as other hotels including the Fairmont Empress at $123 pp/dbl. "And, if you 'like' us on Facebook, you will receive a 10% discount - details are on our website", said Janis Smith, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. This is a chance for people to realize that a night away, in the quaint town of Victoria, may be just the ticket to beat the upcoming winter blues and there are many reasons to go. The Victoria Marathon runs on October 10, the gardens all have beautiful color in the fall, the Haunted Tour offered in late October is a unique way to recognize Halloween, the long Thanksgiving Weekend is perfect to get away with friends and family, and the Holiday Lights at Butchart Gardens from early December through New Year's Day are an experience like no other. There are plenty of year round indoor activities including Brew Pubs, the Royal BC Museum, Afternoon Tea, Spas, fine dining, shopping, Antique Row, Imax and more. Normally the weather is mild enough to enjoy a round of golf, rent bikes (or take your own), eat fish and chips wharfside or just stroll the Inner Harbour as part of a romantic weekend. The only catch is the limited time to book, so don't miss the Sept. 30 deadline. Call 800-888-2535 or book online at www.clippervacations.com. |
