ATTENTION ONE-ARM BANDIT LOVERS!

For those of you thinking about a spring vacation next year, here's something to mull over: a package deal which includes airfare and accommodation in Laughlin, Nevada (2 nights) and Las Vegas (3 nights) a coach trip from Vegas to Los Angeles to board a ship on a 3 night cruise up the coast to Vancouver. (Or you can do it the other way around- cruising down the coast, and flying back to Vancouver from Vegas or Laughlin.)

Spring 2003 fares aren't available yet, but the same package this year was priced at CAD $819.00-CAD $1,109.00 per person depending upon what stateroom category was selected. Taxes at $242.00 per person were an add-on.

If we can get together as a group, it could be a fun jaunt. Let me know what you think…Call Margaret (604) 582-9932.

 

THE LAST WORD

*A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing and the lawn mower is broken

*I never forget a face, but in your case, I'll be glad to make an exception!
