Plan Your Spring Escape In Paradise

Plan Your Spring Escape In Paradise

With spring fast approaching, there is no better time to plan a getaway than now. Not only will it bolster your spirits, but you will also find some great deals so you can rest and recharge without breaking the bank. Now the only question is, where to go? Here are some of the hottest escapes at the moment:

Cayman Islands
There is never a bad time to visit this tropical heaven, as air and sea temperatures fluctuate very little throughout the year. However, spring is about the perfect time to go. From March to June, conditions are idyllic, and until May precipitation is nearly non-existent. Even in May and June, showers only last a short time. Daytime temperatures typically are in the low- to mid-80s, and waters are calm and clear. Room rates are also very reasonable at this time of year. So what are you waiting for?

Hawaii
Is there ever a bad time to visit the Hawaiian Islands? The answer, of course, is no. However, there are times of the year when traveling there can be expensive, primarily during the winter holidays, as well as in the early fall, when cooler weather breezes over the Northern Hemisphere. Early spring, however, is a great time to plan a trip here. You’ll find comfortable temperatures, easy breezes and very little rain. Lay on the beach and work on that tan or go for a more active vacation. Surfing, boating, biking and hiking options abound. In addition, if you plan your trip now, you’ll be able to find a flight and hotel for a reasonable rate. So what are you waiting for?

U.S. Virgin Islands
Being on a pristine, white-sand beach looking out over tranquil tropical waters never gets old. That’s why the U.S. Virgin Islands remains such a popular and lovely destination for a spring fling, particularly if you are a resident of the U.S., as you don’t even need a passport to go.

Buenos Aires
The Argentinean capital is about the best value on the international scene right now, making this the perfect time to see this so-called “Paris of South America.” From architecture and cultural destinations, to a burgeoning restaurant scene and its strong Western European roots, there are endless things to see here. So brush up on that “Español.”

Australia
Ever wanted to go Down Under? Now may be the perfect time, as the Australian dollar is 10 percent stronger against its U.S. counterpart than it was 12 months ago. That means you can get a lot of bang for your buck this spring. Tour the sightseeing mecca of Sydney, the cultural capital Melbourne, the coastal capital of South Australia, Adelaide, or do some Outbacking. Regardless of which you choose, you will find out why Australia enjoys such a high quality of life and incorporates several of the world’s most livable cities.

No matter which direction you decide to head in, the important thing is to hop on these great deals before they vanish. Then, when you have arrived and are enjoying some rest and relaxation, you can plan your trip. (sorry, I meant to say “…you can plan your next trip (on this list).”
