Virgin Vacations are offering a luxury, five-night package to London and the countryside starting at $2289. Depart on September 16, 2013, flying from New York to London. "The key to budget travel is to prepare ahead. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Planning and spending our travel budget correctly is a main concern for most families. Minimizing spending and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured achievements and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding protecting money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal budget is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, regardless of whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel charge!..". Spend three nights in London and two nights in Bracknell, a town near Highclere Castle, featured in the popular TV series Downtown Abbey. Join the Earl and Countess of Carnavon for a Champagne Reception at the Castle. Additional tours include Oxford, Stonehenge, and Bath as well as the Harrods Open Bus Tour and a cruise on the Thames. The package also includes five breakfasts and one dinner and all transfers. Visit Travelzoo.com for more information. Book your vacation by June 18.
