Greetings Travelers
Welcome to May! We've got some news on trips to
Europe -- to Germany, Scotland and Venice -- ranging from the bargain to, well, splurges. Domestic travelers will want to check out the inaugural fare between Columbia, SC, and DFW. And the deals to Las Vegas. We've even thrown in a last-minute Alamo car rental sale for you.

Thought you couldn't get in a plane bigger than a 747? Take a look at the Airbus A3XX -- big enough for a gym and a casino. You've heard there's something for everyone; here's your chance to find out -- check into Dennis McCafferty's article on quirky conventions. And don't miss a chance to read something GOOD about hotel travel.

TRIP TIPS return to menu.
KENYA:
Mombasa is often omitted from American tourists' itineraries. It has a Portuguese fort, the famous entrance of elephant tusks, great Indian food and lovely beaches. Best of all: the most romantic restaurant in the world: Tamarind, serving seafood with a slight Indian essence. Sit on the patio overlooking the Indian Ocean, watch the moon rise over the ocean. Have the Arab coffee boy serve you coffee from his polished brass pots on his brass tray. Order the seafood platter for two. --Karen
CRYSTAL CITY, VA:
If you want to see Washington, DC, and stay in a decent hotel without paying a fortune, try staying in what is called Crystal City. There are several chain hotels there, everything from a Howard Johnsons on up, but prices are much cheaper than downtown. You will be within a one or two block walk of the Metro, which will whisk you to the famous monuments and museums, and to the Capital area. --Gablin
