Very Best to All for 2007,
No self-indulgent waffle for this first New Year edition of the digest, though do not despair there's always another week...
Off to check in and check out Bristol International tomorrow morning. As long as there are no slip ups I'll be back in the office Wednesday. If you need to contact me call my mobile 07767 603 145 or email and I'll action upon my return.
Advance notice that Bradt's Bolivia has finally stepped into the still frame of the printed page and will be on the shelves soon. Author David Atkinson is keen to offer informed comment/copy on one of South America's important but less well known destinations - drop me a line to contact him.
Elsewhere, Familes Worldwide www.familiesworldwide.co.uk is off to a running start - If you're looking for new active family product for 2007, they have it in spades (and probably buckets) - have a look at the website or give me a call.
This week Quest Travel's 5-nights in HKG with Cathay Pacific flights for £465 is particularly worthy of consideration for bargain hunters - scroll dowm this page for the link.
That's all, it's getting late.
Best,
Nick
