What to Expect in Thanksgiving Vacation
Thanksgiving may be the season for expressing gratitude, but it’s hard to feel grateful when you remember the usual hassles accompanying this holiday. Cooking is the biggest dilemma and in most cases, it unfortunately falls on just one or two women’s shoulders to prepare a huge feast for the entire family. And then there’s the matter of preparing the house to accommodate all visiting friends and loved ones.
Spend Thanksgiving Away from Home
If you want a headache-free weekend this Thanksgiving, treat yourself and everyone else to a relaxing weekend getaway for the holiday. Here are a few vacation deals to give you an idea of what to look for.
Bolton, Landing, New York: The Sagamore
This Lake George establishment has a variety of special weekend packages to offer. Expect to pay at least $349 pax but this already comes with breakfast and, of course, Thanksgiving dinner. Children below 18 may stay in your room without extra charge and if those with three-night bookings can stay for an extra night for free.
Crested Butte, Connecticut: Resort Quest
Dial the number for Resort Quest, ask for the Crested Butte Thanksgiving Package, and families of four will pay less than $800 to ski their way to their two-bedroom condo and make use of lift tickets for three wonderful days. But first you have to pray that winter comes early!
Florida: Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and Amelia Island
Families of four won’t have to spend more than $180 when they get to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The 2,400-acre establishment promises a comfortable night’s stay in a 2-bedroom condo and endless entertainment for all the family with their teen zone, boogie boarding, kayaking, a visit from Santa, and many other family-oriented activities.
In Amelia Island, you’ll just have to pay $50 for a one-night stay and the privilege to pretend that Thanksgiving took place in summer while you sail off in a rented boat or play tennis or golf under the warm Florida sun.
New York: Regency Hotel
A suite good for six to eight persons can go as low as $539. Dinner at the hotel is priced at $49 with a 50% discount for kids but you can always have the hotel serve your Thanksgiving dinner for you and nineteen other guests in your suite.
