STRETCHING your dol-
lars on vacation... Travel
Time International president
Pilar Izzard has some timely
ad-ice for those holidaying
outside the country with the
low Canacian dollar: “Try
to pre-pay as much as possi-
ble before your trip.
Consider an all-inclusive
holiday where almost all of
your meals and entertain-
ment are included in one
price. This will enable you
to budget your expenses
before you go. If you want
to go on a romantic holiday
check out the Caribbean
resorts that cater only to
couples.”

“Club Med has been one
of my favorites for the past
20 years and they are cur-
rently offering great bar-
gains. Their ‘miniclubs’ are
very popular with the kids.
We had a family vacation
with my daughter and her
family, consisting of one
teen and owo children under
four at the all-inclusive
Almond Village in Barbados.
The turquoise Caribbean
Sea is right outside your
room.”

*Cuba, a favorite destina-
tion for Canadian sun-
lovers, has some great deals
as hotels make transactions
in Canadian finds. You can
visit different cities with a
car rental but the gas is in
US dollars so some charters
have levied a surcharge for
