What to Expect on a Thanksgiving Getaway

Thanksgiving is 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 many cases, it unfortunately falls on just one or two women’s shoulders to fix a huge meal for the entire family. And then there’s the time preparing the house to accommodate all visiting relatives 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 couple vacation possibilities to give you an idea of what to consider.

Bolton, Landing, New York:

The Sagamore This Lake George establishment has a number of special weekend deals to offer. Expect to pay at least $349 plus tax but this also comes with breakfast and, of course, a Thanksgiving meal. Children under 18 may stay in your suite without extra charge and if those with three-night bookings can stay for an fourth night for free. Excellent New York City Attractions!

Crested Butte, Connecticut:

Resort Quest - Call the number for Resort Quest, ask for the Crested Butte Thanksgiving Package, and groups of four will pay less than $800 to ski their way to their two-bedroom suite and includes use of lift tickets for three beautify days. But first you have to pray that winter comes early for you to experience this Connecticut tourism wonder!

Florida: Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and Amelia Island

Families of four won’t have to expend more than $180 when they go to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The 2,400-acre resort provides a comfortable night’s stay in a 2-bedroom condo and endless entertainment for all the family with their kid 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 occurred in summer while you sail off in a rented boat or play tennis or golf under the beautiful Florida sky. A wonderful vacation in Florida!

New York: Regency Hotel

A suite good for six to eight persons can be had as low as $539. Dinner in the hotel is priced at $49 with a 50% discount for children but you can also have the hotel deliver your Thanksgiving dinner for you and seven other guests in your suite.
