Top 5 Winter Escapes Booked before Jan 31st

 Most of California are having cooler weather at this time, even here in Anaheim and Orange County the sun has lost lots of it's warmth and today the 16th rain has actually fallen, with dark overcast skies.  Being someone who loves hot sunny days, I started paying attention to the many offers that arrive via email, all with the same theme - escape to a warmer place. Here are my top five picks

1.  Winter Savings is offered by Sandals Resorts, for stays at one of two hotels in the Bahamas -  Book an air-inclusive stay at either Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa & Resort or Sandals Emerald Bay on Great Exuma, in the Bahamas.  Get an instand $400.00 savings when booking a four or five night stay between now and Feburary 6, which allows travel from now until June 20 2012.  Call Sandals or your favorite Travel Agent to take advantage of this offer.
 
 2.  Beaches Resorts is offering an "Exclusive airfare credit" to guests who book a six-night or longer stay at any Beaches Resort, - by January 26, 2012 - for stays between August 20 and January 31 2013 will recive the air credit of $350.00.  Better still this air credit can be combined with 65% off land accommodations, currently being offered for the same time period.  Your Travel Agent can book this for you, or contact Beaches Resorts.
