Rail on Sale
The steep Euro exchange rate that held us back from Europe is gone for now (hovering around $1.20/Euro for the first time in years!) and will send travelgirls packing for France’s big summer shopping sales that run through the first week of August! If you still need an extra nudge, Rail Europe’s “Your own ‘Tour de France’” promo cuts 25% off their most-popular month-long (three to nine train-day) passes for train-trekking across all of France. The catch? Visit www.raileurope.com or call 888.382.7245 before Bastille Day (July 14) when it expires!
Love in St. Lucia
Maybe you missed a destination wedding the first time around, but what about a destination vow renewal? Check out the "Romance and Renew" package on gorgeous St. Lucia at The Landings. Stay for six nights at this full-service 19-acre resort, enjoy a sunset beachside ceremony and a private dinner in your suite, a couples massage in RockResorts Spa, lunch or dinner daily and a photo of your ceremony. Rates start at $525 a night and the package is good through November 19, 2010. www.rockresorts.com
Name Your Own Dive Site
And win a trip! Papua New Guinea needs to name two new sites and has launched a contest for these two sites – one near the Tufi Resort and another along Walindi Plantation Resort. Whoever comes up with the winning name gets a one-week trip for two to Papua New Guinea to participate in an underwater naming. Just go to www.nameyourowndivesite.com by August 31 to enter.

Pick of the Week
It can be tough to try to fit your C-cups into a swimsuit designed more with the A-cuppers in mind. (Has there ever been a more bogus claim than "one size fits all"?) So we appreciate Aerin Rose, which designs bathing suits with mix-and-match tops that will fit your size, whatever it is. These are also great for those who may be a medium on top but large on bottom, or visa versa. Right now every suit is 25% to 40% off. www.aerinrose.com
