BUDGET TRAVELER

See Colorado’s wine country for only $280

For The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Monday, September 08, 2008

Today’s best travel deal comes from American Airlines and it’s a hands-down bargain of $280 round-trip to Grand Junction, Colorado. That price includes every extra fee, tax and surcharge.

You’ll be in the midst of Colorado’s wine country, but if you didn’t know better you’d think you were in New Mexico or Arizona with a landscape of dramatic red rock formations. Grand Junction is a vacation paradise for golfers, hikers, mountain bikers and lovers of natural beauty.
