We have been very busy so far this year, we are still working on a new website - www.bestdiscountdeals.info we have some discounts up and it would have been finished but my parents visiting from England put it behind, I am hoping that it will be completed by the end of next week. Not only that, but this month we are going to launch a new service - VIP Booking and Itinerary Service, we will plan and book accommodation, events, restuarants etc, saving you time. More info on this will be announced on the website and in the weekly newsletter.
