4 Reasons to Plan Your Winter Vacation Now

As many of us head into chilly temperatures and the early darkness blues as the sun is setting too quickly these days, I’m getting more calls for last minute winter vacations. Resort vacations have increased lately as a last ditch effort to enjoy a vacation before the years over… and what better way to end a shitty year, then a beach all-inclusive vacay where you don’t have to worry about reality for a few days!?!

If you are busting at your wits end from not having a vacation this year, and done dealing with all the negativity this year has thrown at us – but you may have questions on safety of travel - let’s chat to discuss all the new protocols and requirements to ease your mind. You'll be surprised at how much more other destinations and resorts are doing than many of our own cities. Of course, if you are in a high-risk group with underlying medical conditions – you should still stay quarantined at home and follow your doctor’s advice.
​
If you are daydreaming about a white Christmas... a sandy white one that is – now is the time to get your vacation locked in. Imagine playing in the sand at an all-inclusive beach resort, instead of shoveling snow this winter!

There are a few resorts that extended their “Work & Learn” programs for families that are doing remote school and working from home – so you can feel comfortable departing and still be able to participate in your online environment. Who wouldn’t want an office with a view while working/learning and then heading down to the pool for some play between breaks?! When are you ever going to get a chance like this again?! Hopefully never!

​Embrace the dream of a warm white winter...

Tan Lines Aren't Just for Summer!

It’s no secret that come winter, everyone including the birds, wants to travel south. It’s warmer there, and it beats bundling up every morning to brave the elements! After most of us had to forgo vacations way longer than originally expected, so many are mentally and physically desperate for a relaxing getaway.

If you too want to head south for the winter, it’s time to plan and book as soon as possible. Here’s why you need to book now if you hope to escape the cold:
​

• Rooms are already selling out! Warm climates are hot commodities in those frigid months and resorts normally can book as early as a year or more ahead of time. Resorts have been operating at mandatory lower occupancy restrictions, so rooms aren’t as plentiful.
  
  
• The room you want may already be taken. Millions of people had to rebook earlier this year as they were forced to postpone their vacations, so you will be competing with whatever inventory is left. Those nicer room such as a swim-out category, roof top terrace plunge pool, family-connecting rooms, ocean front views or a honeymoon suite type of accommodation, are the first to go, so could already be gone if you continue wait. Or worse, your dream resort could already be sold out!
  
  
• Transportation is booking up quickly too. With many companies eliminating the shared transfer concept to add another layer of protection for tourists and maintaining the social distancing standards – you’ll find many companies don’t have as much space/time to transport as many guests.
  
  
• You’ll need to book your flights soon too if you hope to get a decent seat without having to take a red eye flight or multiple-stop connections to your preferred destination. Airlines have reduced a significant number of schedules, so trips to your favorite destination may not be as easily accessible as they once were. With limited flights, means hundreds less of seating options too which can quickly sell out during peak travel season. 

Ditch the snowsuits for swimsuits!

A beach vacation may be just what you need to prevent the winter blues from piling on to an already melancholy year. Seclude yourself with a cheerful ocean view as the warmth of the sun embraces your spirit and you sip that refreshing tropical drink melting away your anxiety!
