Anyone fancy a half-price trip to the Maldives?

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

I have always wanted to come across an amazing travel deal, out of the blue, and then throw caution to the wind and book it right then and there – a kind of romantic and extravagant act of spontaneity. Nothing however has quite appealed enough to warrant that kind of action.
But today I received my monthly TravelZoo newsletter and in it was this:

This would be it. This is what would have me leaping for my Amex card. But no, I can not seize this moment because I am already booked on a flight to Australia for a wedding (I see you rolling your eyes and thinking “oh poor you”). But my point is, if anyone else out there has been waiting for a deal like this – go for it. I will live vicariously through you. Just don’t send me gloating pictures from the pool side.

    Going Too Far, by Catherine Alliott. Susie: I rarely read 'girly' books but came across Alliott a few years ago. I've read 3 of her books thus far, and was delighted to spot this one for 30p in a charity shop. I've not opened it as yet but am hoping for another witty, grown-up, middle-class romcom, with lots of 4x4s and country houses!
