Where are you thinking of heading this Christmas travel season?
The usual place? Well, if its been a tough year or a banner year
for you you may want to either get away, away or celebrate with
an atypical but exciting venue this year. Is it warm and exotic
that will get you ready for 2006 or overseas for unique holiday
shopping to lift you spirits? Interested in landing somehwere
where you won't even hear a single Christmas carole?

Take a peak at these suggestions.

Care for a Mexican Christmas? Think Cabo or Puerta Vallarta if
you want all the holds gone and warm beaches. Think Mexico City
if fun yet elegant offerings are your thing.

Think Hawaii for the spa fun of it on sand clad beaches between
Mai Tai's and pineapple chunks. There are great 5 day packages
avaialble some several specialty tour groups since the cost is
higher at this time or if offending your overbearing boss is
too much.

Last minute holiday shopping can be unbelievable if you head to
London, Rome, or Paris for the week before Christmas for some
imported gifts. Be on the lookout in the Sunday newspaper for
holiday shopping specials and take advantage of the package
deals.

For more shopping and sightseeing opportunities thinkGermany
for Christmas as all the outdoor activities kick it up a notch
for the season. Vienna, Salzburg and Munich are famed for their
markets and you can head to one or all three in one trip.

Finally, there are plenty of exotic places left in the world
that do not celebrate Christmas except for the tourists they
try to attract. Look to Asian countries in general but this
year Vietnam seems to have a series of special packages that
are attractive.

Other venues are Africa such a Nimibia and Tanzania for great
holiday trips that will not feel like Christmas at home. Think
of the memories!

Regardless of your choice get to checking out these
destinations and book. By November a lot of the specials will
be filled.
