Earlier, I wrote about deals available for tomorrow from Boston.  Can’t leave tomorrow?  Good news.  Air France is offering flights in the $400 from the East Coast and Chicago to Paris. Flight Deal has the whole… uh, deal. Fare are available from September to December.  Air France is a member of …

Fine dining is easy to plan out.  Most places have a reservation system and you can plan your schedule around your dinner plans. Casual dining?  Not so much. My favorite casual dining place around here is usually empty or packed.  There doesn’t seem to be an in between. They allow …

This is a crazy good amazing deal and won’t last–and requires you to be flexible with last minute plans. Secret Flying has a large selection of flight deals to Europe that leave TOMORROW from Boston.   It includes cities such as Geneva, Nice, and Vienna. If I didn’t have such a busy …
