It`s winter. The holidays are over.

Fortunately, Travelers` Tales has just the armchair adventure travel anyone can experience -- the beaches of Thail&, dining on the banks of the Seine, running with the bulls of Pamplona, purchasing a suit in Hong Kong, climbing the Himalayas -- all for only $17.95 (no shots or visa required).O` Reilly & Travelers` Tales have created a national campaign to help you promote Travelers` Tales titles as the ”great getaway -- for cheap”.
