Pair a rough economic climate with fewer people traveling with hurricane season and you have the makings for some too-good-to-be-true sounding deals on all-inclusive vacations in Mexico and the Caribbean.

I have been known to suffer from some pretty serious post-travel blues. Despite the fact that almost no one will ever feel sorry for you after you return from a long and fabulous vacation and head back to work, it can be really tough dealing with being back from you adventures and sitting back in a desk chair. This is why I often find myself needing little weekend vacations peppered throughout my year to tied me over until the next big trip (one of the great suggestions in the article 10 Tips on Beating the Post-Travel Blues). Especially with 3-day flight and hotel packages for less than $300, you can also totally afford these little getaways while still saving for the next adventure.

We may have just celebrated the vernal equinox (translation—it’s now officially spring) and warmer weather may even be flirting with you a little depending on where you love, but for most of us, we still have a few months of colder temps and rain/snow until it’s really summer time, which means now is the perfect time to book either a last minute spring vacation or get together your summer vacation.

It is overwhelming to think of the myriad vacation options that exist in this world. If you want to go sit on the beach somewhere, there is a beach with your name on it. If you want to take the kids to an amusement park, there is a roller coaster waiting for your fanny to sit in it. If you want to get away with your significant other and spend a week looking deeply into each other’s eyes, there is a significant other with eyes somewhere out there waiting for your gaze.

Funjet Vacations drives this point home with their current Your Vacation, Your Way promotion. With vacation packages for families, romance, adventure travel and luxury, they have some outstanding deals on flights, hotels and stays for popular vacation destinations.

This one size fits all promotion is good until November 22, 2007, so get your plans in place now and you’ll be able to experience a vacation that is just right for you.

If you ever want to see a slice of heaven, pay a visit to Banff in the summer. The small Canadian resort town located about 70 miles from Calgary, Alberta is situated amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. The amazing Canadian Rockies tower high in the sky. The lush green forests extend for as far as the eye can see. The deep blue glacier fed lakes are like a mirror. The bustling streams fill the otherwise silent air with a melodic sound.

Banff is a place for those who love and appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature. It is within easy driving distance of Lake Louise, a body of water that has been captured by many a tourist’s camera. For my money, however, Moraine Lake is even more beautiful. It is right near Lake Louise but does not receive nearly the number of visitors. You can easily check both out in a single swoop.

If you do visit Banff, and really you must, a trip along the Icefield Parkways is required. Your jaw will hurt because it will drop with every twist and turn of the road. A pretty ride in this world you will not find.

Travelocity has some excellent deals on Banff vacation packages. I can’t recommend Banff enough.

Exclusive Travelocity offer: Save $75 on mountain vacations. Plus enjoy free nights at select hotels.

Everyone loves a top 10 list. Everyone also happens to have a list of places that they would like to visit. I know that my list is pages long. The cool cats at Travelocity have compiled a top 10 list of the most booked flight and hotel destinations on their site. Maybe your list jives with theirs? Or maybe not.

1. Las Vegas – Sin City has always been a fan favorite and since you can always get a deal there it is a popular one with budget travelers.

2. Montana – This one surprised me. I didn’t take the Travelocity crowd as being an outdoorsy one. Montana is a lovely state and as a former resident I can tell you that you will have your breath taken away each time you visit it.

3. Mexico – Sun. Cancun. No really surprise our next door neighbor is popular.

4. Caribbean – Same as Mexico only the rum tastes better.

5. New York City – Is there a better city in the world for a four-day weekend? I haven’t found one. The Big Apple is a great place to visit.

6. Florida – Another state I used to live in. People apparently like sunshine and/or wacky stories about alligators eating people.

7. California – More sunshine, more wackiness, plenty to see and do.

8. Hawaii – I’m surprised this wasn’t ranked higher. Who wouldn’t want to spend a few days in paradise?

9. Chicago – The Second City is anything but that. Probably would be ranked higher if the winters weren’t so bloody cold.

10. Europe – You mean to tell me that more people book trips to Chicago than to all of Europe? I don’t believe that, but then again I don’t work for Travelocity.

Top 10 Vacation Destinations!

You can’t go more than 100 yards in Greece without tripping over something historic. People have been walking around Greece for ages and they are always leaving behind stone ruins that will make you stub your toe if you run into them. Those stone ruins are a big reason why people visit the country, but even if you don’t enjoy looking at antiquities you will still have an excellent time in Greece.

It is a country that is rich in geography to go along with all the culture. The beaches are fabulous, the waters warm in the summer and the islands are simply enchanting. There are parts of the country that are brimming with tourists and will make you wonder why you ever left home, while there are parts of the country that are virtually unknown to outsiders. Such is the nature of Greece.

Because of its attractions and because it is a hit with tourists, you can usually find a decent deal on vacation packages. European Destinations currently has some tasty offerings on vacations ranging from 6 to 10 days in length. Just make sure to pack some sturdy shoes. It sure does hurt bumping into a 3,000-year-old ruin with open toed sandals.

Different people travel to the Caribbean for different reasons. Some go to sit on the beach and to soak up the sun. Others go to throw on an oxygen tank and to see what those creatures are up to underneath the sea. Still others go to lap up the culture of the region. And others go to escape the long arm of the law. If you are one of those escaping the long arm of the law types this deal probably isn’t for you. If you are one of those people who legally want to go to the Caribbean, read on.

If you act fast – by fast I mean before March 31, 2007 – you can get $100 off of a Caribbean vacation package. All you need to do is whip out your MasterCard, book a flight and hotel trip for five days or longer through Travelocity, punch in the magic code Caribbean100 and you are on your way to a relaxing vacation away from the everyday hustle, bustle and bank robbing stress.

The offer is particularly attractive since it includes hotel options that range from simple to ritzy in places like Barbados, Bermuda, Puerto Rico and St. Lucia.
