Five Spring Vacation Ideas
2008-01-03 04:04:00
"Spring vacation" is a many-splendored thing. Families can stage a getaway during the ten-day school-break in March or April: those in snow zones can fly somewhere warm; those in mild zones can go play in snow.The Spring Break in the school year usually lasts ten days, and dates vary in different parts of the country. That's the reason you find blackouts for discount fares to Florida for an entire month, mid-March to mid-April. On the plus side, not all families are crowding into Disney World during the exact same week.Families with school-age kids might also take a mini-vacation at Easter, which is often a four-day weekend.Five Spring Break Vacation Ideas Below are five ideas for family spring breaks, coast to coast. Most are escapes to beaches and warm climes; but snow-seekers can find winter fun at the Rocking Horse Ranch Resort in New York (provided the weather obliges, of course.). * California: Disney's California Adventure; San Diego; San Francisco * Florida: Clearwat...

Spring Break ideas for families: southeast
2008-01-03 03:59:00
Georgia and the Carolinas have some hotspots for families, for spring break: though of course the "hot" (as in temperature) can vary a lot. * Sea Island Georgia -- home of a legandary upscale resort-- is one of the barrier islands off southern Georgia, with a mild climate, and yearly average temperature of 68°. Average for March is about 70°, 75° in April, but of course days vary; early March highs swung from 65 to 81°. Water temperature, meanwhile, averages 66° in spring. Award-winning and the kind of place where families return for generations, Sea Island's main building, The Cloister, was built in 1928. Four resorts share 10,000 acres of forest, lawn, and marshland, 5 miles of private beachfront, and many outdoor and indoor activities for families. * Kids programs are offered during spring break. (Check with the resort, for updates.) * Hilton Head Island, South Carolina: this popular destination has average highs in the 70's in March and April, and a range of lo...

New Year?s Eve in NYC 2008
2007-12-19 23:38:00
New York City is THE place in the United States to ring in the new year and let me tell you, it is one good time! The city offers something for everyone to ring in the new year, including the world famous ball drop, as well as a Brooklyn Bridge walk, fireworks and fancy dinner parties. Around the city you can find great hotel and restaurant specials, and activities for everyone. Times Square When you think New Year s, you think of the ?ball drop? in Times Square. Not only do people in the city watch the site, but so do people from around the country. It is the American symbol of the new year. This year, a new addition has been added to the Times Square festivities - a high tech crystal New Year?s Eve ball. Sounds fancy. The new crystal ball is making its debut this year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the event.
