Liberty GoGo President Cathy Palaez, who more than 28 years ago was hired as a receptionist at Liberty Travel and eventually climbed to become its president, has resigned, effective Feb. 6th 2009.
She presided over what seems to have been a smooth transition to the Flight Center ownership and can walk out the door knowing she did a great job during this time.
We wish her best wishes and a little time off.
Cheers Cathy

Libgo sells itself cheaply. $149 million to Flight Centre
One the largest and most venerable of US Travel institutions has been sold to the Australian mega chain - FlightCentre. First reported at Travel Weekly AU.
Itself a subject of a protracted ownership battle, TW - OZ is reporting that FlightCentre has been able to pick up both Liberty Travel (122 offices primarily in the NE USA) plus the Gogo Tours operation (22 centers around the USA) fr a very low $149 million.
This acquistion vaults FC into the top tier of US operations and the combined organization comes in at Number 10 of the largest US Travel outlets.
