Next Generation Private Sale Travel Site Launches

Spire, a new members-only travel site that offers unbeatable, limited-time deals on luxury hotels worldwide, launches today with an expertly-selected lineup of four-and five-star hotel deals that are at least 30% off the lowest offer found anywhere else. Along with these private sales, Spire also introduces a number of firsts such as its Best Deal Guarantee that make the company the most consumer-friendly flash-sale travel site yet.

Directly addressing the most common complaints that travelers have about flash sales, Spire launches with the only Best Deal Guarantee in flash-sale travel. The Guarantee not only promises the lowest price, but it also backs Spire’s pledge to deliver at least 30% off the lowest comparable offer found anywhere else. Spire is also the only site of its kind to allow easy cancellations, giving refunds for up to 72-hours after a trip is booked, minus a $29 fee.

Alan Josephs, CEO of Spire, says these consumer-friendly firsts pave the way for the next generation of limited-time private sale sites and put Spire at the forefront of the flash-sale travel category.

 “Consumers want to know that they’re getting the very best deal before they book, and they need more flexibility in instances where spontaneity may have gotten the best of them,” Josephs said. “Our Best Deal Guarantee and simple cancellation policy give travelers what they need to be more confident in their purchase,” he said.

“If a traveler finds an offer that does not meet our best deal standards, Spire will give them $100 in credit to be used on a future booking plus we will refund the difference if they happen to find a lower price elsewhere,” Josephs explains Spire’s one-of-a-kind Best Deal Guarantee.

Other consumer-friendly benefits include Spire Perks, which are valuable extras, such as room upgrades and spa credits, paired with almost every deal. Spire also makes checking airfare simple by including Kayak search functionality and offers the help and expert advice of U.S.- and U.K.-based luxury travel specialists by phone at no charge.

Spire’s Hotel Deals

Despite these slow economic times, a recent poll of 2,215 luxury travelers conducted by Spire revealed that 74% have splurged on their hotel budget in 2011. When asked how they decide where to go on vacation, nearly one-quarter waits until a great deal pops up in a destination they would enjoy.

This shows that consumers seek both luxury and affordability, which Josephs confirms: “Many travelers are still splurging on their hotel budgets, but they are also looking for a deal. Spire works closely with its hotel partners to deliver the deals they need at the luxury hotels they desire.”

Spire’s in-house destination experts evaluate each hotel and resort individually on requirements such as amenities, services, reputation, recommendations, customer reviews, site visits and much more. Only available to registered members, Spire’s private sales last up to 14 days, giving travelers more flexibility and planning power than other flash-sale travel sites.

Here’s a sampling of deals found on Spire now:

§  A Historic Hotels of America boutique property in New York City for $299 per night (was $449)

§  An all-inclusive, eco-friendly resort in Antigua for $275 per night (was $396)

§  A Condé Nast Hot List pick and authentic palace in Morocco for $140 per night (was $279)

§  A Condé Nast Traveler Gold List resort in Riviera Maya for $94 per night (was $140)

To join Spire’s private community and get access to members-only hotel deals, go tospire.com and sign-up for free or go to facebook.com/spiretravel and sign-up through our sweepstakes for a chance to win a 4-night stay at Cavallo Point – The Lodge at the Golden Gate and $2,500 in Spire credit.

Opt for Smart Summer Driving with 3M Automotive Window Films

As you get the car ready for family road trips, beach excursions, and carpools to and from camp, it’s time to think about how to protect its value – and your health – from fading in the summer sun. And since this season is all about vacation, it’s important to choose an option that does the work for you.

One way to ensure that the time you spend on the road is cool, comfortable, and safe is to consider installing automotive window films.  3M, for example, has a series of films that protect from 99 percent of harmful UV rays to minimize the damaging effects of the sun on both your skin (a Skin Cancer Foundation recommended product) and vehicle interior.  The advanced heat-rejection technology also keeps your car cool and increases fuel economy by reducing the need for air conditioning, while the variety of tints offer subtle vanity options and reduced glare.

Travelocity Names Summer's Top 10 Family Destinations

With Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start to summer fast approaching, Travelocity travel experts dug into the website’s summer booking data to discover where families will take their summer vacations in 2011. Overwhelmingly, families will travel to beach destinations in the U.S. and the Caribbean.

There are great  family travel deals still available for the top 10 destinations and families still looking to get away should check out the Window Seat Blog for tips, advice and ideas.

1.    Orlando: Orlando is, not surprisingly, the number-one family destination for summer 2011. With theme parks galore and some of the summer’s most competitive room rates, fun and value reign supreme on Orlando vacations.

2.    Cancun: A destination once known for spring break debauchery, Cancun has reinvented itself as a family-friendly destination. It comes in as the number-one destination for families traveling internationally, and two on the overall list.

3.    Honolulu: Four destinations in Hawaii made their way into the top ten summer destinations for families, but of those, Honolulu comes out on top. Direct flights to Honolulu are available from many U.S. cities, making getting to world-famous Waikiki Beach a breeze.

4.    Maui: Famous as a honeymoon destination, Maui vacations are also a favorite for families, especially during the summer months. Turns out kids and couples alike love the beautiful beaches, where the sand color ranges from white to black to red.

5.    Kauai: Beautiful coastline and secluded beaches are a given on Hawaii vacations, but Kauai is the perfect island choice for active families and nature lovers.

6.    Bahamas: Cheap flights to Nassau make getting to the Bahamas both easy and affordable. Though not technically part of the Caribbean, expect the same beautiful white-sand beaches, hotels in every price range and flowing rum punch.

7.    Kona: Found on the island of Hawaii (or, The Big Island), Kona is an excellent destination from which to explore. From snow-capped mountains (yes, there’s snow in Hawaii!) to rainforests to the world’s most active volcano, this island is also the state’s most diverse.

8.    Puerto Vallarta: Puerto Vallarta is Mexico’s second-most-popular destination for families this summer. Mexico vacation packages are always a great value and this beach destination on the country’s west coast is no exception.

9.    Turks & Caicos: Talk about an island that just keeps getting more and more popular – Turks & Caicos climbs up the list of top-booked destinations each year. Caribbean vacations are always popular for families and this island is proving to be a top pick.

10.  Dominican Republic: Rounding out the top 10 most popular summer destinations for families is the D.R. and it’s no wonder. There are many direct flights to Dominican Republic every day, so towing the kiddies and all their stuff is no problem. Plus, Dominican Republic resorts come in every shape, size and price range.

Book Review - The Adventures of Bella & Harry: Let's Visit Paris

About the Book

The Adventures of Bella and Harry is a picture book series that chronicles the escapades of a pup named Bella, her little brother Harry and their family, who travel the world exploring the sights and sounds of new, exciting cities. Traveling the world with these two cute and cuddly Chihuahuas will allow the young reader to gain an appreciation of the world and its' cultural diversity. The "Bella and Harry" series is intended to be an informative, interactive and exciting way to introduce children to travel, different countries, customs, history and landmarks. The series was created to encourage exploration of locations both domestically and internationally.

About these Books

Lisa Manzione, a mom and advocate of geographic literacy – along with the U.S. Congress – seem to think that geography is no longer one of those subjects.

In March, Senator Thad Cochran, a Republican from Mississippi, introduced a bill that would fund a four-year, $60 million program to enhance the teaching of geography in public schools around the country. Currently in committee, the bill was applauded by few people as loudly as Manzione, a mom who has a strong understanding of the value of teaching other cultures to children and author of the globally-focused children’s book series The Adventures of Bella and Harry (www.bellaandharry.com).

“Geography is about a lot more than just memorizing where countries are on a map,” said Manzione. “It’s about understanding the cultures that go along with each country and the process for understanding those cultures has to start early. If our children are going to thrive in the newly globalized economy, and prepare for the nearly 70,000 new jobs geotechnology is adding to the U.S. each year, they need this program. In addition, they’ll be more well-rounded individuals if they accept that the United States isn’t the center of the universe and that there are other places on the map worth knowing about.”

According to the Department of Labor, Manzione is right on target. Geotechnology is one of the three fastest growing employment fields serving industries such as insurance, baking, real estate, forestry and agriculture, as well as state and federal governments. In addition, the geospatial technology industry is expected to open up more than 70,000 new jobs every year -- and understanding geography is key to those applicants.

“We need this program, because our kids aren’t learning geography under the current curriculums available,” Manzione added. “In a recent National Geographic-Roper 9 country survey of geographic literacy among young adults aged 18 through 24, students in the United States ranked second to last. Only 13 percent of young adults aged 18 through 24 in the United States were able to correctly identify Iraq on a map of Asia and the Middle East. Considering we’re currently in a war with that country, and several hundred thousand American soldiers are stationed there, it’s more than a little embarrassing that most of our kids don’t even know where it is.”

The irony is that National Geographic also surveyed school districts around the country and discovered that that all 50 States and the District of Columbia recognize geography in their curricula or content standards. Moreover, an increasing number require geography for graduation and include geography in mandated statewide assessments.

That’s one of the reasons why Manzione wrote her children’s books. Her desire is to open children to the world around them, and show them the value that other cultures can bring to them. Her view is that the United States is nothing more than an amalgamation of the world’s cultures anyway, so when kids learn about the rest of the world, they are also learning more about what it is to be an American.

“All of my children’s books take place in a different country, and that’s on purpose,” she said. “Children need to learn at an early age that the world is a big place, and if they are ever going to understand their place in the world, it is probably a good idea that they know more about it than what’s in their own backyard.”

About Lisa Manzione

Lisa Manzione is a financial professional, children’s book author, geographic literacy advocate and mother of two children, ages 21 and 23. She also has seven dogs (three labs and four Cavalier King Charles spaniels) and two feral cats.

My Take on the Book

This book was full of disguised learning amongst great illustration and a fun plot. I loved how the author made learning geography fun through the adventures of two fun loving dogs! What I particularly liked was the fact that you had got to learn everything from local customs to cuisine and of course you even get to know more about the most famous landmarks in Paris as well.  .

My girls love dogs and they loved this story as well. These chihuahuas made my children laugh and also inquisitive. They are now asking to go and visit Paris (I think mom and dad will be going there first though).
