Kayak Pitch for the Family Ditch
| Weren’t the holidays grand? What a special time for family: family gatherings, family dinners, family game night, family in your guest room, family sharing your bathroom, ENOUGH! The holidays are officially over and now it’s time to ditch your family for a little YOU time. Don’t forget to leave a note on the fridge: Gone on vacation, glad you’re not there. |
| Las Vegas flights | hotels | forums Las Vegas is the perfect getaway to blow off some steam and hopefully win loads of cash while you fancy yourself the newest member of Ocean’s 13. Dizzy yourself with built-in entertainment, show girls, gambling, bars, restaurants, passed out pop princesses and enough Elvis Chapels to get hitched every day of the week, several times a day. When you’ve had your fill of debauchery, take a break at Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge Review to reboot your system with a dose of nature’s tranquility. When Britney wakes up, tell her we said hi. |
| Tokyo flights | hotels | forums If you need to get as far away from your family as possible and put enough culture and language barriers between you to seal in the distance, consider a trip to Tokyo. Nothing like a 14 hour time difference to make even a “checking in” call difficult. Lose yourself in Tokyo’s high energy culture and old-world charm. Start your trip with a visit to the Tsukiji Fish Market. Next, do some shopping and stop off for some sushi at Asakusa where you can also see the infamous Sensoji Temple. Rest your weary and family-less head in the neighborhood of Roppongi Hills where hotels, shops and museums will tuck you in every night. Sayonara! |
| Venice flights | hotels | forums Venice was purposefully built in a tangled maze of canals to thwart off invaders. So if you have to bring a family member(s), this is the place to lose them once you get there. Whether it’s culture, architecture, art, good food or just a good time, Venice aims to please. Consider the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, Rialto Bridge, Academy Gallery and St. Mark’s Square to give yourself an overview of what this jewel of a city has to offer. Then tie one on at Harry’s Bar, the infamous watering hole of Hemingway and cut a rug at Casanova, Venice’s popular Discotheque. |
| Barbados flights | hotels | forums Nothing says “serenity now” better than an endless beach and copious amounts of umbrella drinks. For those of you without a passport, take advantage of entry back and forth to the Caribbean NOW before you’re required to have a passport on January 23. If you’re looking for more than just sun and sand, Barbados offers more sightseeing attractions and nightlife options than most Caribbean islands. The most popular tourist attraction is Harrison Caves, which feature bubbling streams, tumbling cascades and stalactites–but we prefer the Mount Gay Rum Tour which includes a tasting of course. Bring a bottle or two home for your next family get-together. |
