’Tis the season to start planning your holiday vacation. While this year’s shaky economy will force some to roast their chestnuts and stuff their stockings at home, others are already building their far-flung itineraries and checking them twice. For many intrepid holiday travelers, Christmas is just not complete with a passport, a suitcase of good cheer, and a warm bed as far from home as the North Pole.
But deciding where to celebrate is not as simple as it is during other times of the year. Not surprisingly, fares and rates tend be higher around the holidays, which can dictate which destination you choose. But local customs (13 Santa Clauses of Iceland or roving masked musicians in the Caribbean?), unexpected seasonal closings, even flight availability—especially in the US, when you’re competing for seat space with whole families flying grandma’s house—all factor into the equation.
For those of you who travel during the holidays. Here are some great places to check out! Let me know what you think!
