For a family of five, Canada's clubmed.ca recently quoted a FORTUNE staffer $4,714 (USD) for seven nights at Florida's Club Med Sandpiper, while clubmed.com quoted $6,277. A Club Med spokeswoman says they don't allow U.S. travelers to make reservations on clubmed.ca. But you can go through a Canadian agency like Margaritatravel.ca, and similar discounts can be found for cruises and chains like Sandals. Why the disparity? The exchange rate is a factor, but there's also more competition up north from bulk tour operators, driving all prices down, says Jonathan Carroll, president of itravel2000, Canada's top online travel company. With 15% of itravel's business now coming from the U.S., prescription drugs are no longer the only northern draw.Mon, 30 Jan 2006 23:11:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2005/TRAVEL/DESTINATIONS/12/01/tamarack.idaho/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2005/TRAVEL/DESTINATIONS/12/01/tamarack.idaho/index.htmlWhen Jean-Pierre Boespflug invites you to tour the first U.S. destination ski resort built from scratch in more than two decades, it helps to pack your imagination.Thu, 01 Dec 2005 16:39:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/2005/11/04/pf/travel_extreme_ski_services/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2005/11/04/pf/travel_extreme_ski_services/index.htmYou've heard of extreme skiing, but how about extreme ski resorts?Fri, 04 Nov 2005 12:11:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/10/31/8359149/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/10/31/8359149/index.htmFORGET OBSESSIVE PUTTING AND MONSTER graphite drivers: A growing number of luxury resorts are touting yoga as the newest way to hone your handicap.
