There’s nothing more fun in the middle of a cold, dreary winter, than packing up and going on a vacation to somewhere warm and sunny. The question, however, is where do you go to get warm?
The most popular places to go to warm up are Florida and California, and both offer many options for things to see and do.
If heading south is more your style, flights to Orlando are plentiful and inexpensive. Once you get there, you’ll find no shortage of activities. If you want to avoid some of the more popular theme parks, there are still plenty of things you can see or do.
The Orlando Science Center — It’s an inexpensive place for families to visit and provides a good opportunity for an educational lesson during your vacation.
Gatorland — Gatorland offers the opportunity for visitors to get a great look at some of Orlando’s most infamous residents – all without the fear that might go along with running into one in the wild.
Fishing — The shallow lakes around Orlando feature some of the best bass fishing in the nation. Experts in the city offer guided trips to help you find the hot spots to land the big one.
If the West Coast is more your thing, there is almost nothing better than San Diego vacations. San Diego, in addition to offering some of the best weather in the world, boasts attractions like the Gaslamp Quarter, Balboa Park and of course, the world-famous San Diego Zoo.
If you want a little Hollywood with your vacation, find yourself some flights to Los Angeles and see all the L.A. hotspots.
The most popular spots to visit in Los Angeles are the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, Universal Studios and Rodeo Drive. You can also see the sights of the city by taking hikes through the hills around the city.
Whatever sights you choose to see, getting to warm weather is the best way to beat the winter blues.
