FAMILY HOLIDAY TRAVEL



BY CLAY LARROY

Leisure travel is a wonderful experience that everyone should have in their lifetime. Even business travel can be made enjoyable. There are some aspects of travel that can detract from your enjoyment.  When planning to fly for a trip, don't forget any frequent flier miles you might have racked up. It does you no good to hang onto those once you've already gone on your big vacation. Even if you don't have enough miles to cover the whole trip, many airlines will allow you to discount your rate using your miles. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!

Consider a Thanksgiving Vacation in the Northeast

Have you ever thought of taking a Thanksgiving vacation? It can be a great idea.
You would be surprised to find that a lot of traditionally summer vacation spots that close in the fall will open for a few weekends during the off season, and Thanksgiving is one of those times. Just visit New England on Thanksgiving and you will understand what makes this such a great idea.
Benefits of a Thanksgiving Vacation
There are several benefits of taking a Thanksgiving vacation. It is an opportunity to visit destinations that are either too crowded or expensive during their high season. Many places offer reduced rates for accommodations. Plus, you get to enjoy the area without the crowds that invade during the summer months. Visiting travel destinations off season takes on a whole different atmosphere. The shop owners have more time and are more relaxed. With that said, if you decide to strike up a conversation with the locals, you can have some really great insight into the area you are visiting. Also, you may find out some places to visit or things to do that you normally wouldn't know about during the high season.
Thanksgiving is a great time to visit places that you have been to on a previous summer trip because you can compare how the area differs during the off months. Also, since it is a return visit, you are already familiar with streets, shops, attractions, beaches, and the general vicinity. This is a good time to revisit your favorite spots as well as to get to explore places you weren't able to see or things you couldn't do on your previous trip.



Imagine how fun it would be to take photos and video of a destination at a different time of year. Have you ever seen the beach with fall foliage sprinkled about? Summer items are decorated for the holidays in these sleepy towns. One creative New England town stacks up lobster pots on the boulevard in the shape of a Christmas tree and decorates them with bows. It is a beautiful site to see.
There are many reasons to consider a Thanksgiving vacation, but the strongest is because of family. Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for what we have and to spend time with family. Let's face it, many folks spend the day in the same house, but are far from together. Some will watch football, others will play video games. And often, it is Mom who spends the day cooking in the kitchen.
By taking a Thanksgiving vacation, you are bringing your family together and actually spending time together, experiencing the same sights and activities.
