No Zoom, Ya Mon

Here's hoping that none of you have upcoming flights booked on Zoom airlines, because they stopped flying today.

On the other hand, some travel auctions to Jamaica and California caught my eye today. These offer potentially GREAT values on posh retreats. Most auctions have date restrictions, so always try to confirm resort availability before you place a bid if your travel dates aren't flexible.

$3115 -- Your Own Personal Cook and Butler in a Private Jamaican Villa - for up to 8 Guests
7 nights in an oceanfront 4-BR villa with pool. Auction start price: $3115!, closes Sept 2 13:00.

$1990 -- Jamaican Seaside Getaway - 70% off for up to 8 Guests
7 nights in a private beachfront villa with pool plus a staff of five including a personal cook. Guest privileges at Round Hill Resort & Beach Club, a Conde Nast Traveler Gold List winner. Auction start price: $1990, closes Aug 29 14:00.

Mystery Auction - Horseback Riding in California
If horseback riding is your thing, you might want to go for the current mystery auction (according to the message boards, the lodge is in California). This auction closes Aug 29 11:00.
