Default Cheap Package Tours for Shoppers to Seattle?

At the moment, there are many package tours for Albertans to go to Las vegas,
for shopping and so on.
These packages include air fare, hotels and often car rentals - all for
extremely good prices, especially for seniors.

Is there such packages for seniors to go to Seattle-Tacoma, for lots of
shopping, say with Horizon/Alaska Air, from edmonton or Calgary?

Washington State Tourism, there are lots of us willing to spend, spend, spend,
if you can organize the trips.

Why would I want to travel all the way to Vegas to go shopping?

Why would you want a shopping package making you captive to the places
your tour operator takes you to? Do your research on shopping in your
destination city. Check for easy to get to Outlet Centers or Malls. Get
a package air/land deal from Priceline, Hotels.com or whichever
discounter you wish to use. Use a travel agent, sometimes they can
offer packages not available on the internet.

Do a little research on the things you want to buy. Better bargains may
be available at places like Amazon.com, Overstock.com, hsn.com, qvc.com
or shopping.com

The OP was asking about shopping in SEATTLE, not Las Vegas.

I don't know why you would want to do that. But apparently enough
people want to do that to make it profitable for someone to offer this
package.

When prices in vegas are 30-40% cheaper than in Alberta, sensible shoppers
gladly go on shopping package tours to vegas!!

Until Canuck retailers stop swindling buyers, more and more Canadians will
shop where they are appreciated, and where they get more for their money.

How much could you possibly save flying to Vegas, taking taxis from the
airport, staying in a hotel, meals, etc.? You can only bring a few
dozen pounds of luggage back, so it's not like you can buy a plasma TV
or something expensive and bring it home on the plane. It's sounds like
an excuse to justify an unnecessary shopping spree.

Grosvomit isn't flying anywhere - he can't afford to. His wife holds all the cards,
except, of course, for his vast collection of 5.25" floppy disks and over-valued stamps.

full headers from his articles, most of which violate Shaw's
Acceptable Use Policy, which includes the following text:

=== Newsgroups

Messages posted to newsgroups must comply with the
written charters or Frequently Asked Questions (?FAQ?s?)
for those newsgroups. Advertisements, solicitations, or
other commercial messages may be posted only in those
newsgroups whose charters or FAQ?s explicitly permit
them. You are responsible for determining the policies
of a given newsgroup before posting to it.

(Grosvenor's articles are often off-topic and in
violation of the groups he routinely posts to.)

Posting or cross-posting the same or substantially
similar messages to more than 9 newsgroups is
prohibited. Our news software will automatically
cancel any messages posted to 9 or more newsgroups.

(Grosvenor often circumvents this restriction
by cross posting identical articles to several
batches of different newsgroups.)

Forging, altering or removing header information
is prohibited. This includes attempting
to circumvent the approval process for posting
to a moderated newsgroup.

(Grosvenor jumps from identity to identity in
the vain hope he won't be recognized. This
by necessity involves forging the "From"

You may not flood or disrupt Usenet newsgroups.
Disruption is defined as posting a large number of
messages to a newsgroup which contain no
substantive content, to the extent that normal
discussion in the group is significantly hindered.
Examples of disruptive activities include, but
are not limited to: posting multiple messages
with no text in the body, posting many follow-ups
to messages with no new text.

(Grosvenor does this as a matter of routine,
particularly in the soc.culture groups.)
