Ready to travel for $1 a day? Get on the road now

May 242013

Got the traveling itch? You may not find a cheaper way to scratch it than this if you are foot loose and fancy free.

To relocate its new fleet of RV campers from Decatur, Indiana to the West Coast, Apollo Campervan is offering travelers a last-minute chance to hit the open road with a RV rental for $1 per day.

Yah, it’s not a sales pitch or come on. It’s a legitimate offer through TravelZoo.

Choice of destination: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas or Denver (California and Vegas drop-offs are limited)
7-14 days to arrive at destination (varies by route)
2,500 free miles (additional miles charged at $0.40 per mile)
$500 in gas money
GPS
$100 taxi allowance in destination city
Vehicles can be picked up Tuesday, May 28 or after, as long as they reach the specified destination by June 3-13 (date varies by route). Availability is very limited, so we suggest booking as soon as possible to have the most options.

The RVs sleep up to four travelers and also include bedding plus a kitchen with refrigerator and microwave.

Click here for more information. The easiest way to book is by phone at 855-754-6555. The caveats? Drivers must be 21 years of age or older. Additional drivers cost $3 per day. A mandatory damages deposit of $1,000 will be charged at pick up and refunded at drop off as long as there are no damages to the vehicle. No pick up or drop off on Sundays. A cancellation fee of $250 applies.

Send off Lazy Daze in style and cash in at Papa Roux

May 222013

While we encourage you to welcome Indiana City Brewing Company, it’s time to say goodbye to a favorite coffee shop in Irvington. The owners at Lazy Daze Coffee House have made the decision to shut down, which leaves its loyal baristas scrambling to find new positions.

So as a parting gift, the shop in back, Khao San Road will donate 20% of its proceeds this Thursday through Saturday to a fund for the employees to split. The money will be used to help them pay bills and get by in the gap. A donation jar will also be available, and there’s a special bash planned for all day Saturday.

To really sweeten the pot, Papa Roux has tossed its hat in the ring, too. Save your receipt, bring it to this eastside restaurant and they’ll redeem it for a complimentary treat to say thanks for your role in supporting the local community.

Hoosier boys Straight No Chaser have opened the door for a strong appreciation of easy listening group harmony in our state, so we figure this deal will will sell out pretty quickly, so click here to get your seat.

The Tenors are coming to town—Murat Theater at Old National Centre on June 15 at 7:30 to be precise—and Groupon has tickets at a nearly 70% discount. OK, they’re in the balcomy but this is a concert where the music is what counts, not a play where you need to see movements. And at just $13.75 for the ticket, I’d sit in the restroom if it came down to that.

Here are the down and dirty details:

$13.75 for one G-Pass to The Tenors (up to a $41.50 value)
Seating: rows NN–RR of the main floor or rows W–DD of the balcony
Door time: 5:30 p.m.

Just for you

It’s hard to miss two big trends in the Midwest: small business coffee roasters and the microbrewery. Indianapolis is rolling out the red carpet for its newest taproom resident this Saturday, and you’re invited to the celebration.

Indiana City Brewing Company officially opens its doors at 24 Shelby Street near the Fountain Square area this Saturday, May 25, from 2 pm to 8 pm. They’ll begin pouring pints at the grand opening, accompanied by plenty of art, music, and food trucks. The beer on tap:
Yacht Rock wheat ale
6.0% ABV | 19 IBU | 4.3 SRM
This Belgian style wheat ale is a light-bodied, crisp, slightly tart and lightly hopped golden beer with a fine-bubbled bright white head.

Shadow Boxer oatmeal stout
7.0% ABV | 44 IBU | 55 SRM
This is a black, full-bodied ale with mild roasted grain aroma, coffee flavor and moderate spicy hop bitterness. A diverse combination of flavors all below a creamy brown head.

Beyond the Pale pale ale
7.2% ABV | 59 IBU | 5.4 SRM
This beer has high hop flavor and aroma. Specialty spices add natural citrusy-pine aroma to this well balanced ale.

As for you caffeine junkies, don’t despair. Kaffeine Coffee Company will be on hand, too, with their premium roasts.

Head on over and give the new neighbors some love. Your taste buds will thank you.

Park your vacation expenses right here

Parking fees add up when you choose to fly the family for vacation this summer.

Sure, you can have someone wait in the cell phone lot to pick you up, but believe me, they won’t line up to drop you off at 4:30 am for that first flight of the day you insisted on to make the most of your beach time.

A few weeks ago, we told you about a daily deal involving free airport parking with a hotel room. If you missed that voucher, definitely grab this one for a 59% discount on offsite airport parking at Easy Airport Parking (offer is about halfway down the page). Your package choices should cover any vacation plans:

$12 for 3 days of offsite airport parking (up to a $29.25 value)
$18 for 5 days of offsite airport parking (up to a $48.75 value)
$29 for 7 days of offsite airport parking (up to a $68.25 value)
$75 for 30 days of offsite airport parking (up to a $292.50 value)

A 24-hour private shuttle will get you from baggage claim to your car and vice versa. And you can spend the money on more important things, like flip flops and sunscreen.

Looking good with healthy skin

New techniques for skin care are introduced often in Indianapolis spas, but the microdermabrasion treatments remain a favorite of Hoosiers who enjoy good skin.

Which is probably why this Groupon deal is only running until the end of Tuesday:

Four, Six, or Eight Microdermabrasion Treatments at No.7 Salon and Spa (Up to 81% Off)

Number 7 Salon and Spa in downtown Indianapolis is the service behind this offer, and its estheticians have put together three options:

$99 for four microdermabrasion treatments (a $388 value)
$129 for six microdermabrasion treatments (a $582 value)
$149 for eight microdermabrasion treatments (a $776 value)

You’re only allowed to purchase one certificate for yourself and one to give as a gift, which should spawn a rash of Cheapsters who decide they are their own best friend this morning. At this discount, you can afford to be good to yourself.

Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time.

How to save on those vacation extras

Hotel room and parking for less than a garage

Yes, I have traveling on the brain this week, which means my browser history would show everything from exploring the cost of a pre-purchased transportation versus an average cab ride from the airport curb to exchange rates.

Let’s face it: we budget for the airfare and hotel. It’s the little things like boarding fees and airport parking that bite you in the end.

So this daily deal discount from the Wyndham Indianapolis West hotel might just save you a few bucks. They’re offering not only a good rate on park and fly — you get to start your vacation with maid service:

Park Before You Fly Package with 1-Night Stay at Wyndham Indianapolis West

This $75 deal is good for up to a 14-night parking spot while you jet off to parts unknown, and we’re not aware of any airport parking price that would host your vehicle that long for that low. The Wyndham offers a 24-hour airport shuttle, in addition to the fitness center, 24-hour Starbucks, TV monitors with up-to-date flight information and a center to allow you to print your boarding passes.

The fine print:

Book by: 6/28/13
Travel by: 8/31/13

Blackout dates: no blackout dates
Cancellation policy and fees: must cancel by 6 p.m. day of arrival or fee of applicable one night’s stay up to the amount paid for Groupon applies
Taxes: 17% tax not included

It literally lets you start your relaxation a day ahead of schedule. Hey, you had to pack anyway.
