Tis The Season For A Discount Travel Club Membership
Even though the most popular season to travel and vacation is summertime, right now is the season for a discount travel club membership
. It gives you an opportunity to begin planning for your next vacation ahead of time, especially if you like to vacation during the winter to take advantage of discounts during ski season.
A lot of people like to ski, but the ski resort prices are at their highest during ski season. But…..if you get a discount travel membership now, you can plan that ski trip and stay in the high end resorts at huge discounted prices.
Picture yourself during the Christmas season, staying in a mountain resort, with the beautiful snow blanketing everything, and snow softly falling all around you. Ski all day and relax in the afternoon or evening in the ski lodge, sipping your favorite hot drink, sitting around a large, stone fireplace with a crackling fire, surrounded by Christmas decorations in rich reds and greens and sparkling tinsel and lights with bows and garlands everywhere. Or, after a wonderful meal, going back to your resort cabin, decorated for Christmas, including a beautiful pine tree decorated with lights, tinsel and colorful, bright ornaments, sitting by the cozy fire, gazing out the window at the softly falling snow. Life is good…and can be even better with a discount travel club membership.
New England Vacations-Color Explosion!
Isn’t autumn wonderful? I remember as a kid, living along the eastern seaboard, on a cool, crisp Saturday, walking down the street and playing in the yards of my friends, with a shower of leaves in their autumn colors falling all around me; gathering up piles of crisp colorful leaves in the yard with my friends, only to dive into them to wrestle and scatter the leaves, tossing them into the air and at each other; all the while with the sun shining brightly against a clear blue sky.
Hopefully I’ve painted a nostalgic picture of what was as a child, and can be again in my adult life, by taking New England vacations
. Visiting the east coast and the northeastern coast of New England at this time of year is truly a delightful color explosion of fall colors.
Choose one of the New England states to visit during autumn, get yourself a map and look for a route that will take you through the rural roads, and off the high speed highways, so you can see and experience for yourself, the explosion of fall colors in the trees that line the road and sit in clusters in the fields and hills around you. Take the time to get off the beaten path and the fast treadmill of life and delight your senses with the beauty of fall. Stop at a roadside stand and buy some locally grown apples and homemade apple cider. Stop and take pictures of the colorful trees surrounding an old New England farm house; find a covered bridge over a lazy stream; or find a restaurant (it might also be an old, historical tavern from hundreds of years ago) where the locals eat, for a wonderful, home cooked type meal with all the comfort foods of fall. Take time to slow down, even if only for a weekend, to drink in and enjoy the beauty of the autumn season.
