If you had enough soggy Welsh summer 'sunshine' these past couple months, then why not take advantage of the British-Sterling-to-U.S.-Dollar-Exchange rate and book a quick and last minute saver flight to Washington, D.C. for the end of August?
That's right, the pound is at record highs against the dollar, so you can live like a king while you enjoy the late summer sunshine and early Autumn warmth typical of the District of Columbia at this time of year.
And you can meet your long-lost Welsh cousins at the same time! This is your last alert that the the North American Festival of Wales, which is quickly coming up 30 August - 2 September, 2007.
