3 or 4 Day Packages From Canada??
With AA Sure
Look for netsavers Miami to La Romana or Santo Domingo or Puerto Plata, usually US $149 or so, find a R/T to Miami from Toronto - even Air Canada, allowing for connections.
Stay at a real hotel not AI, wherever, there's lots. You may not save alot but you should be able to do Friday out, Tuesday back within reason.

In the past, I have seen three and four day packages to the DR on the Signature website. They were sell offs, so very much last minute. The ones I recall were in February and March.
If you want to go to Las Vegas or Nassau
Holy moley. 30 pages of 3 and 4 day trips to everywhere but the subject destination and no way to narrow it down but to read every page. Belair has 95 trips for 11/30, not one under a week.
I think it is truly difficult to find Transat or Skyservice doing 4 day trips to the Caribbean other than Nassau.
Interesting though they figure people will pay $4003 CDN per person on 12/8 for 4 days at Sandals Bahamian. I am not sure $8,006 ($8,283.40 w/ taxes) a couple is a terrible affordable 4 day treat. Read page 30.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
It's too bad that there aren't any shorter packages than 7 days available. The Bahamas and Las Vegas don't really interest me and even less at that price! I guess I'll just have to wait for my vacation time to kick in so I can go for a week or two.

A rare find indeed
5 days is a nice respite and for $448 CDN a good deal regardless of destination in the DR.

448 CDN + 186 departure taxes, sunholidays fails to mention that.
Those are a rare find to other than the Bahama's.<br>
In fact a couple of years ago an airline out of Detroit flew to Nassau and returned same day, 6am flight and 9pm return for $99. A quick day on the beach.

Still, if you can tolerate AI's
$634 for 5 days for air hotel and I presume some chow is cheap at $127 a day. You could not get a room in Toronto for that with taxes.
Still charter planes and AI's is not a vacation to me.

i'm thinking the same way too, rick
$448. Cdn is better than the air only rate to POP for this time of year. $186. Cdn is equivalent to paying $40. Cdn/night for a hotel room that includes meals and drinks. it was advertised as an AI resort.
even if you only had breakfast there and left the complex for lunch, dinner and night-time disco too, it's still a great deal.

Punta Goleta is a dump by itself halfway between Sosua and Cabarete,not worth more than that price.

if anyone is looking for 3 or 4 day packages to RD, then i guess SunHolidays is the place to look. they have another listing in today's paper:
4 nights depart Dec. 28/02 POP
Victoria Resort AI $948. Cdn (plus taxes as wud pointed out).
if AirCanada does start regular flights in the new year into POP as they have said they would, then you could also book a room through Redseal Vacations as they have per night rates on a good number of hotels.
not to challenge Johnny's assesment of punta goleta, merely a just so you know , both conquest and air transat are advertising the resort (3*)--1 wk dec. 22/02--$1289. Cdn
1 wk jan5-feb 2-- $1099. Cdn

The flight alone is more Johnny
Assuming you can survive and get a few cervezas and meals at this joint no sense in paying more to fly there out of spite for the place. The flight , the bus to the place and whatever you get, $600 CDN is peanuts.
That said I would not take the flight or stay there since charters are horrible and AI's are for tourists but from the perspective of someone game enough to fly charters and stay in AI's I am sure they wouldn't die at this joint.

Possibly a different rating system used?
Maybe it was on a 1-100 star scale or it was a rating system used for landfill sites.

Hey mob....it used to be the cheapest right after Christmas and before New Years......I already know it's $150 cheaper on Jan 4th!
Was hoping for a super=duper last minute selloff (I can't believe there's that many people going to miss New Years at home??!!)
