Vendor: Travelzoo
Price: From $38.10
Lowest By: $40
Expires: February 28

Is It Worth It?: While some of the cheapest routes in this sale are for cities that are fairly close together, it's easy to find an option that suits. And you can't go wrong with over 50% in savings!

This price is valid on flights from San Francisco, CA, (SFO) with arrival in Las Vegas, NV, (LAS) on March 9. Book this travel deal by February 28 for travel on select dates from February 28 through May 20.

Is It Worth It?: Sometimes, the only way you can relax is by physically removing yourself from everyday stresses — and we can't think of a more ideal way to do that than with a stay at this cabin. Each of the one-room properties sits amongst trees and hiking trails that lead to the Little Pigeon River trout stream. They're also quaintly decorated with handcrafted furniture, and there's an outdoor hot tub for late night reclining.

Book this travel deal by April 10 for stays Sunday through Wednesday through July 31.

Singapore Airlines Roundtrip Fares to Asia
Vendor: Travelzoo
Price: From $696.56
Lowest By: $464
Expires: February 28

Is It Worth It?: Go further afield with this Asian airfare sale that knocks as much as $464 off flights to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore. That makes this the second-lowest price we've seen for fares from Singapore Airlines. Keep in mind, however, that most of the cheaper routes originate from the west coast.

This price is valid on flights departing from San Francisco, CA, (SFO) with arrival in Seoul, South Korea, (ICN) on February 24 and return on March 2; prices vary depending on the departure cities and dates chosen. Book this travel deal by February 28 for travel through May 31.

Holland America 7-Night Alaska Cruise for Two
Vendor: Cruises.com
Price: From $1,198
Lowest By: $2,080
Expires: February 17

Is It Worth It?: Sure, this cruise was technically $100 cheaper last week, but when you're still saving more than $2,000, does that really matter? Seeing the natural wonders of Alaska by boat is sure to leave you in awe (especially if you catch the Northern Lights while you're there).

This cruise aboard the MS Zaandam departs from Vancouver, Canada, on May 17 and includes stops in Ketchikan, AK; Juneau, AK; Skagway, AK; Glacier Bay, AK (scenic cruising); Seward, AK.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
