Escape the Holidays
Every Holiday Season I always play around with the idea to leave all things Cold and Christmas behind. Every year I go home to Louisiana instead. On the way back to Naples I start the vicious cycle again. I turn to Max and ask "Why didn't we go somewhere far away this year?" So for the curious and the interested, here are my top pics for Getting Away at Christmas...
Cruising around the Southern Caribbean
Cruise Line: Holland America Ship: Zuiderdam
Leaving out Fort Lauderdale on December 23rd and returning January 2nd (10 days)
Ports include: Aruba, Curacao, Cristobal PA, Gatun Lake, PA, Costa Rica and Holland America's Private Island Half Moon Cay
Holland America is a premier cruising vessel. The spacious staterooms combined with the excellent customer service and amenities will impress the most seasoned traveler. While you are on board visit the Exeditions Cafe, which is sponsored by the New York Times Magazine.
Christmas In the City of Lights
Picture yourself in Paris on the Champs Elysees and after finding a quaint outdoor bistro to grab a snack. Now listen for it..... Ahhh.... There it is... just enough noise but no one is yelling the 12 Nights of Christmas at you. See the Eiffel Tower glisten, watch the city from the steps of Sacre-Coeur and just relax in the luxuriousness and the culture that is beating around you. Do not forget your rose colored glasses.
Stay at the The Lancaster located on the Champs Elysees that was built in 1889 and "illustrates the art of living à la Française"
Ski Holiday
Maybe relaxation and shopping is not your thing, why not try one of the best ski resorts in the United States. Beaver Creek has beautiful mountains, great powder (that is snow for all those that enjoy the bottom of the mountain as oppose to the top) and sumptuous restaurants and nightlife. Most places like the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch is a ski in ski out resort which makes life and skiing a whole lot easier.
