I got an email from vacation discounter Go-today this week that included a special $25 discount on select vacation packages around the world. Being the caring individual that I am (I give and I give and I give!) it seems only right to share the discount with you.

Here’s the deal. If you find a vacation package that interests you at Go-today’s website, use the promo code 0104GTNY to get the $25 discount. Go-today is popular provider of packaged vacation deals—usually incorporating airfare plus hotel or car rentals—to destinations like London, Paris, Rome, Buenos Aires, even Beijing. I’ve never booked with them myself, but I’ve heard pretty good things from those who have.
