Eiffel TowerCHEAPER EUROPEAN TRAVELS

Dear Peter, I am a great fan of yours and watch you constantly. My husband and I have booked free award business-class tickets to Paris March 29 through April 7, 2008. At this time we have not reserved any hotels.

Actually, we were going to rent a car and travel around to small towns to keep the price down as not to spend so much time in Paris only. With the euro so high would you even recommend going?

Helicopter tours are fun, but they’re usually very expensive. There now a couple of tours out there that won’t break the bank.

From Hawaii to Manhattan, you can experience a bird’s-eye view almost anywhere.

For a taste of Sin City, Grand Canyon Tours offers a flight over Las Vegas.

With champagne and almost 22 miles of views included, this tour starts at $63 per person when you book online.

In Maui, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters will take you over Haleakala Crater, Hana rainforest and the shoreline of Northeast Maui.

Keep in mind, if you book online, it costs about $190, almost $30 cheaper than booking over the phone.

Liberty Helicopter Tours flies over Manhattan and out to Liberty Island, where you …

Circa notebookWhile today’s spiral notebooks and three-ring binders are much the same as they were 40 years ago, Levenger, a Florida-based company, has created a much-improved design, called Circa.

It fits right into our high-technology environment, providing a solution that lets us intermingle handwritten notes (which a vast majority of us still use) with computer-generated output.

The concept is quite simple. Circa consists of two components: paper pages with mushroom-shaped holes punched one inch apart along one edge and molded plastic discs that hold the pages together.

Stack together the pages and snap on the disks to make a Circa notebook of any thickness. Translucent plastic and leather covers are available or you

With record-breaking numbers of flight delays, travelers are spending more and more time at the airport. Well the airlines may not be getting any better about it, but the airports are adapting. There are some airports that you can enjoy.

In Germany, the Frankfurt Airport is nothing short of a mall, including every conceivable shop, a sex store and a synagogue. Frankfurt even has a complete high-speed, long-distance train station.

If you’re stuck at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, you can enjoy wine tastings at the Grand Hyatt DFW hotel that’s located right in the terminal.

At the Newark Liberty International Airport, if the delay is depressing you, don’t worry. They’ve got a combination pharmacy and health center.
