The Best Winter Holiday Spots: 3

europeNow, you may be thinking that a winter holiday spent in Europe is way beyond your means. That may be true for many of us during the rest of the year, but it is definitely not the case in winter. Starting in November, Europe — yes, most if not all of the countries there — is considered to be in its off season. Around that time, airfares to many countries therein become much, much more affordable, and you can get bargains on hotel stays as well.

The crowds will be thinner, and in southern Europe, the daytime temperatures are likely to be quite warm and mild.

Down north, however, you will have to dress warmer — but Europe in wintertime is definitely a beautiful sight to behold.

The Best Winter Holiday Spots: 1

us-virgin-islands-natureWinter is a weird kind of season. At first we look forward to it, we begin anticipating the holidays and the cheery sight of snow falling outside the window while a fire roars inside.

Around about January or February, though, when the snow starts looking a little dirty and we start feeling stir crazy, many of us choose to go on a winter holiday instead of experiencing cabin fever.

For those who choose to take themselves away to considerably warmer climes, the U.S. Virgin Islands will definitely be a great place for you. It is only two hours away from Miami, closer than you may imagine. There, you can have your pick of peaceful, laid back St. Croix, exciting St. Thomas, or St. John, which is something of an eco treat.

And yes, you will get to enjoy enough sand, surf, and sun to get you through the rest of winter.
