- You didn't think we'd actually get away with NOT mentioning Michael Jackson, did you? Through August 29 (the King of Pop's birthday), Hollywood Heights Hotel is donating 10 percent of your stay to the Make a Wish Foundation when you book the "Tribute to Michael Jackson" package.
- Through Labor Day weekend, Omni Hotels is letting its guests borrow Flip Ultra video cameras to record their family vacations. Guests are encouraged to upload one of their videos to Omni's social networking site Local Scoop for a chance to win a trip to Omni Bedford Springs Resort. Kids will also receive a backpack filled with a flashlight, disc launcher, candy, a plant-able bookmark, and more items that will help them explore the hotel's location.










Hm, that Greek package is a good deal. I think those three-day cruises are a great Greek island starter kit. I recommend them to first-timers to Greece.
