Exciting expectations for your Holiday Vacation

What to Expect on a Thanksgiving Getaway

Thanksgiving is the season for sharing thanks, but it’s hard to feel grateful when you think of the usual hassles accompanying this holiday. Cooking is the biggest hassle and in most cases, it unfortunately falls on just one or two women’s shoulders to fix a huge meal for the entire family. And then there’s the matter of preparing the house to accommodate all visiting friends and loved ones.

Spend Thanksgiving Away from Home

If you need a headache-free weekend this Thanksgiving, treat yourself and everyone else to a relaxing weekend vacation for the holiday. Here are a couple vacation deals to give you an idea of what to consider.

Bolton, Landing, New York:

The Sagamore This Lake George establishment has a number of special vacation packages to offer. Expect to incur at least $349 plus tax but this also comes with breakfast and, of course, a Thanksgiving meal. Children under 18 may stay in your suite without extra charge and if you have three-night bookings can stay for an fourth night for free. Excellent New York City Attractions!

Crested Butte, Connecticut:

Resort Quest - Call the reservation line for Resort Quest, ask for the Crested Butte Thanksgiving Package, and families of four will pay less than $800 to ski their way to their two-bedroom suite and includes use of lift tickets for three wonderful days. But first you have to hope that winter comes early for you to experience this Connecticut tourism wonder!

Florida: Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and Amelia Island

Families of four won’t have to spend more than $180 when they get to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The 2,400-acre establishment promises a comfortable night’s stay in a 2-bedroom condo and endless entertainment for all the family with their kid zone, boogie boarding, kayaking, a visit from St. Nick, and various other family-oriented activities.

In Amelia Island, you’ll just have to pay $50 for a one-night escape and the privilege to pretend that Thanksgiving took place in summer while you sail off in a rented boat or play tennis or golf under the beautiful Florida sun. A wonderful vacation in Florida!

New York: Regency Hotel

A suite good for six to eight persons can be had as low as $539. Dinner at the hotel is reasonable at $49 with a 50% discount for kids but you can also have the hotel serve your Thanksgiving dinner for you and seven other guests in your suite. Don’t forget to enjoy Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Day parade.

Orlando, Florida:

Walt Disney World Magic is floating in the air once you arrive inside the Walt Disney World. Rooms are quite affordable, starting at just $39 but you should also consider various packages that include discounted theme park tickets. To celebrate in the spirit of Thanksgiving, watch out for holiday fireworks and parades as well as the tree-lighting ceremony held every night.
