5 American Getaways for this Holiday Season



With the world’s array of destinations and places of interests, most travel planners and travel service providers are wooing vacationers with their unique selling proposition. We’re always on the road and on the look out for something amazing yet there are just certain destinations in America that are the “must-sees” regardless of trends and seasons.

Here are Travelmath's 5 American Getaways for this holiday season:

Maui
The island of Maui with year round sunshine, blue skies, great food, outdoor adventures, rolling hills and big ocean waves present endless activities for vacationers of any age groups.

Whether you are a romantic, adventurous, indulgent or savvy traveler, head over to Four Seasons Maui at Wailea and find a range of activities in the resort and around the Wailea area of Maui. They even have the fine art of doing nothing at all but just enjoy the luxury and top-notch service.

There is no resort fee and complimentary services include use of cabanas, umbrellas and casabellas at the main pool and beach, 24-hour fitness center, snorkel equipment, introductory scuba clinic, children’s program and more. To find out more, please check Travelmath’s hotel list.

New York City
America’s largest city never sleeps and has everything packed in one small island called Manhattan. Served by three major airports, find out which is the best airport from your city to New York City with Travelmath’s flight calculator.

For the art lover, don’t miss the world class Museum of Modern Art. The museum is closed on Tuesdays. Take a stroll in Central Park, ice-skate (depends on the season), visit Central Park Zoo or dine at Tavern on the Green.

San Francisco
The famous misty suspension bridge, The Golden Bridge comes to mind when we think of San Francisco. San Francisco is more than just a bridge, you get cultural diversity, Japantown, Chinatown, Nob Hill, Russian Hill and second hand boutiques.

Take a 116-mile drive through the Pacific Coast, Big Sur to Carmel from San Francisco.

Las Vegas
McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas has direct flights from over 100 cities in the country. Check if there is one from your city here at Travelmath. Beyond slot machines and buffet meals, Las Vegas nightlife is world class. Check the listings of places to go in the Las Vegas Weekly (published every Thursday).

If shows, nightclubs, and bars are not your interest, check out The Terrace in Caesars Palace, known as the best place for people watching.

Part of the fun of vacationing in Las Vegas is the visits to the hotels with various themes and architecture. Go to Travelmath’s calculator and check out which hotel suits your needs and budget.

New Orleans
Cajun or Creole foods, authentic jazz music and old bookstores are found in the French Quarter of New Orleans. New Orleans, Bourbon Street is definitely the place to go for live entertainment without the polished rehearsals.

Of course, New Orleans is famous for the two-week Mardi Gras. Enjoy watching the “kings” and “queens” wearing their elaborated robes leading their floats and crowds cheering from sidewalks and balconies along narrow roads in the French Quarter. The event is right before Ash Wednesday and Lent season.

New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport is not a huge airport and serves only 11 airlines, mostly domestic flights.

For some busy families, wintertime is the best time to getaway from it all. It’s also the time to rejuvenate, relax and recharge for a new year. If your dream is to see the ball drop in New York City, join the Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, cross the Golden Bridge of San Francisco, watch the whales in Maui or people-watching in Las Vegas, take a look at these American Getaways for this holiday season.
