The first year I lived in Washington, DC we had a ton of snow during the winter. The gloomy days were endless and the cold had even the heartiest of souls complaining. The one thing that everyone told me was that if you can survive the winter in DC (normally not that bad) there is a payoff in the form of spring. The spring months would bring pleasant temperatures without the humidity of the summer, they said, and the beautiful sights of cherry blossoms everywhere.

In a city that is legendary for its $25 hamburgers and $20 beers, finding a hotel room that isn’t the same price per night as your monthly mortgage can be a real challenge. Unless you have a friend to stay with or the ability to sleep comfortably under a tree in Central Park, it is likely that you will pay a premium for a place to stay when you visit New York.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be that way. There are decent accommodations for decent prices to be found, you just need to find them. Hotels.com has an offer right now that will allow you to save 25% on New York City hotels. Considering that hotels in the city are about $25% more expensive than they are in other cities in the United States this deal basically means you can visit the Big Apple and stay for about the same price as you might elsewhere.

If those hotel prices are still too steep for you, go ahead and check out the rates on New York hostels. These run the gamut from being fleabag establishments in dodgy neighborhoods to being perfectly lovely places for you and your entire family to stay without having to take out a second mortgage.

There are certain things you should never do in life. You should never accept your friend’s challenge to stick your tongue to a stop sign when it is minus 20 outside. You should never marry Kevin Federline. You should never think that it is funny or ironic to have a mullet. You should never speak in Klingon. And most of all, you should never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever pay full price for a Las Vegas vacation.

Just to make things clear, you’d rather slide down a razor blade slide into a pool of alcohol than pay full price for anything related to Las Vegas.

The reason why is obvious. The fine folks who bring you the sin in the sand want you to visit and they want you to leave behind your money while at the gambling tables. They know that the cheaper they make it for you to fly to Las Vegas and the cheaper they make it for you to stay in Las Vegas, the more likely it is that your will actually go to Las Vegas.

The trick isn’t finding a great deal. The trick is walking away from the tables before you lose too much. Once you figure out that trick, let me know and we can go get a mullet cut while practicing our Klingon together.

A volcanic island, Saint Lucia is more mountainous than most islands in the Caribbean. . With Mount Gimie and the Pitons forming the volcanic backdrop to golden beaches that are next to crystal clear blue waters, Saint Lucia is arguably one of the most beautiful spots in the Caribbean.

It is also one of the more welcoming. The small population of people who call the island their home draw upon the rich traditions of their African, French and English heritage. If you listen closely, you might just hear the distinctive sounds of the Kreole language, a form of French patois. You’ll also hear the vibrant sounds of Caribbean music like soca, zouk and reggae.

One other thing you should know about Saint Lucia: it is a noble place. The island boasts two Nobel laureates to its name, giving it the highest ration of Nobel prize winners to population size in the world. You’ll get smart just going there!

You’d also be smart to take advantage of the incredible package deals to Saint Lucia that are currently available. To be able to fly to and stay in paradise for five nights and under $800 is too good to pass up.

While Orlando and Miami get their fare share of the travel attention, Tampa Bay quietly exists as arguably the coolest city in Florida. Yes, the Tampa area and the Gulf Coast does have a reputation for being the home to people who are closer to the end of life than beginning, but if you spend time in the city itself you will find that Tampa Bay has a burgeoning nightlife scene and a very young feel to it.

No trip to Tampa is complete without a night out on the town at Ybor City. Once the home of Tampa’s cigar making industry, today Ybor City attracts tens of thousands of people who are drawn to its clubs and bars each weekend. The scene can be admittedly a little cheesy but if you are on vacation and want to let your hair down while surrounding yourself with alcohol guzzling folk than head to Ybor City on a weekend night.

As for the rest of Tampa, there are the standard tourist attractions like Busch Gardens, as well as a very cool Salvador Dali museum in nearby St. Petersburg. The city also offers access to great beaches and the ocean. In short, you can have an Orlando and Miami type of experience in Tampa without having to deal with the Orlando and Miami type crowds.

Travelocity has the goods on deals to Tampa, Florida.

For an island that is merely 30 miles long and 10 miles wide and with the highest natural point a mere 15 meters above seas level, Cozumel has a lot to offer. The popular vacation destination located off the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula has an incredible amount of biodiversity and some of the best scuba diving you can find anywhere in the world.

In 1996, the government of Mexico also established the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park, forbidding anyone from touching or removing any marine life within the park boundaries.

In addition to the fun you can have underwater, Cozumel offers some beautiful beaches and an active nightlife geared tourists those looking to party while on holiday.
