Living There
Wouldn’t be wonderful to celebrate the holidays with your family in the Caribbean, Or in the Mexican Riviera. Leave the cold weather behind, lying on a sun drenched white sand beach listening to the waves of the Caribbean sea crashing in. Well over 200,000 families from the U.S. do this every year, but when is the best time to book your holiday vacation?
While during Christmas and New Years you would think that most wouldn’t travel to a Caribbean island, and that the resorts would have great prices, well you are wrong! It is one of the busiest travel times of the year for travel out of the country. So you are wondering when is the best time to book your holiday travel.
Well the time is now (spring and summer months) Your are not going to get many good deals on resorts booking now, because they really don’t offer hardly any discounts over the holidays. And the resorts that are offering the discounts are either very low end or very high end properties, and more than likely it’s not going to be a discount on your stay, but in the form of a coupon book or resort credit for spa treatments or other on site activities, this in it’s self can be very nice, but won’t keep money in your pocket.
What I have seen over the years is that the best deals are all gone by August, The mid priced resorts sell out first, (3 and 4 star) Than the low end properties ( 1 to 2 ½ star) Leaving the high end 5 star resorts for those that didn’t think to book early. Not that staying at a 5 star resort is a bad thing, if you can afford it, the jump from a 4 star to a five star during the holidays can be anywhere from $2000.00 $5000.00 or more.
Book your holiday vacation package early, start pricing in April and book by the end of May, before the best deals are gone. Look for charter flights, who wants to spend hours in an airport with thousands of other travelers on layover flights. Be open on your travel dates this can save you even more on airfare. It maybe a lot cheaper to leave on a Friday than on a Monday, sometimes the cost difference could be an extra day at the resort!
Christmas has always been the most popular season of a year. It is often normal for people to yearn for the cold December and dream about their Christmas vacations. Although Christmas vacation is often limited, it is still the most exciting part of the year and every day of it must be spent wisely in order to let the entire vacation become truly memorable.
First off, if you plan to spend your holiday vacation in a different place, you must plan everything ahead of time. This means that a week, or maybe a couple of days before your intended starting date of your vacation, you already know where you are going, what hotel you’re going to stay in, the places Cruise Ship Christmas Ornament that you will be visiting, and things that you would be needing in going to that place.
Just try to imagine a situation wherein you were not able to plan ahead of time, and on the day that you set out for your perfect holiday vacation, you spent most of the day in searching for a hotel where you can stay, or buying the things that you need to bring. It will be a chaotic vacation! So in order to make every day of your Christmas vacation count, prepare ahead of time so as not to spend one day making arrangements.
If you are in a different place spending your holiday vacation, make sure that you spend each day wisely by visiting tourist attractions or perhaps some getaway that will make your vacation matter. Do not ever try to spend your Christmas vacation by staying in your hotel room all day and getting engrossed in a pocket book. You would be watching your vacation fly by without having any clue as to what you did, nor where did the days go. So it is always a good idea to spend your day outdoors, you may just find a special place that will make you say you had the perfect Christmas vacation ever.
