Web Roves of the Week: Fun Finds and Deals

Soon to be Mine. 

I'll keep it short today. Happy Friday (and clicking)!

• I came across these printed canvas banners with simple typography and vintage style from Michigan artist Michael Jon Watt at TransitDesign earlier this week when researching a project for work. After I pay off a few more travel bills (damn Euro to US Dollar conversion rate), I'm hoping to snag the Italy one pictured above. There are several available location themes but you can also have one custom printed for you to document your travels.
• Southwest Airlines is running another stellar sale for late summer and fall travel. This time, you can catch a flight for as low as $59 one way from August 23rd through December 14th. Details here.
• To the baseball fans out there, Travelzoo.com has special offers available for MLB games across the USA. And for all the St. Louis area readers, you can save big on next week's series against the Astros. More info here.
• I'm not much for cruises but, if I were to take one, it would probably be on one of the luxe, small ships from Windstar Cruises. Rue La La (member-only site, free to join) has fall excursions on sale for up to half off regular prices with different itineraries including Italy, Greece, Turkey, Croatia and Spain. You can sign up to view (and buy) through this link (a personal invite from me). 

Roving I Finds: $40 Southwest Fares and South Pacific Savings

Today's Roving I Finds: Two great deals that you need to act fast on. Like today fast. 

1. Southwest Airlines is celebrating their 40th anniversary. And it's a win win for the rest of us for a few more hours. If you're in the market for some serious savings on air fares, you need to click over to Southwest's $40 Fares . Depending on how far you're flying, fares are priced at $40, $80 and $120 for travel August 23rd through November 16th, 2011. But hurry, the deals end today (6/23/11)!

2. Air Tahiti Nui is making flying to New Zealand or Australia this fall and winter (aka summer down under) even more appealing with a special 3-day stopover in Tahiti for around $1200 to Auckland from LA (slightly more to Sydney). You get your choice of three hotels on Tahiti or Moorea but for an extra $275 pp you get an over-the-water hut at the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort. And nothing says Tahiti like a grass hut. Book by July 1st, 2011 to get the Tahiti treatment included. 

Thanks for stopping by! More tomorrow.
