There are many things to take into consideration when planning a summer getaway. Among the important aspects is your budget, the length of time you have, how flexible you want to be in where you eat and the climate of where you are going. While Caribbean prices are inexpensive during the summer, be aware that it is also the hottest and stormiest time of year. There are many travel agents, websites and the local Chamber of Commerce that provide information on getaway packages.
Cruise packages are a popular option. They are available for a few days, a week or more. Cruising in the warmer climates during the summer months is often less expensive. Not only do you typically receive food, entertainment and accommodations with your cruise price, but many cruise lines offer pre- and post-cruise accommodations as well as transportation to and from home. Travel companies also put together packages for the cruiser, so that planning worries are minimal.
