Apple Vacations announces another one-week sale starting today!  This time look for sales at Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Mexico and Bahia Principe Clubs & Resorts in The Dominican Republic and Jamaica!  Both chains are offering some great discounts on winter travel.  For details click here: http://tinyurl.com/yjhlwak

Here are some travel tips to find the best pricing:

• Travel midweek. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures usually have the best pricing.
• Be flexible. Early January and late April typically have the lowest prices.
• Keep checking. If you look one afternoon and the date you want is sold out, check back the next morning. Canceled seats go back into inventory overnight.
• Go for a week! 7–night vacations usually offer the best overall value. Compare a 3-night to a 7-night vacation and you will see it may be worth taking those extra vacation days and staying for 7 nights.
