Winter Escapes

Dear Debra,

Some like it hot. For the rest of us, there's winter. Whether your 
pleasure is skiing, snowboarding, or just getting away from it all in 
a place where people appreciate the colder months, Travelocity.com 
can help you plan your winter vacation. (Hoping to escape the cold? 
We can help you with that, too!)

spree. Also, learn how to make special gifts with your photos and get 
your first roll of film developed for free. Enter now! 

Boston
Boston's Colonial charm and youthful energy don't shut down in the 
winter--the snow only accentuates the old-world beauty of this 
historical city. And speaking of snow, you'll find that the city's 
location makes it a great place to base a skiing or snowboarding 
vacation--major New England ski and snowboard resorts such as 
Killington, Mount Snow, and Sunday River are a day-trip away. You get 
the crisp northern outdoors by day, and the cosmopolitan pleasures of 
New England's largest city by night. 

Vancouver
Vancouver, too, is a great place to visit if you're looking to 
combine urban pleasures with a skiing or snowboarding vacation. You 
can stay in the city itself, since the world-renowned Whistler Resort 
is only 75 miles away. Or, save yourself the drive and stay near the 
slopes--the Chateau Whistler has world-class accommodations. Either 
way, you're never far from western Canada's most exciting city and 
some of the best skiing in North America. 

Travelocity's Been There
Ask a circle of friends their thoughts about Las Vegas, and you're 
likely to get a mixed response. My friends either love it or hate it, 
and it tends to be the same elements that incite both reactions: the 
high rolling glitz and noise of the casinos. Personally, I've always 
enjoyed the people-watching and the great array of restaurants and 
other attractions (or distractions!) Las Vegas can offer. We've 
already been there...and you can go there too! Been There! from 
Travelocity.com features real stories by real people (our own 
hardworking, travel-loving employees) who've been to great 
destinations! Read about our adventures then make your plans to 
go there too!

***DESTINATION GUIDES***

Vail
Vail has been synonymous with skiing since the 1960s, and is still 
rated the best ski area in the United States by many polls year after 
year. With 4,000 acres of skiable (and boardable) terrain, 25 chair 
lifts, and a wide range of terrain, it's no wonder this huge mountain
remains popular. And unlike some ski areas, the town of Vail is a 
destination unto itself, with sophisticated shopping, dining, and 
entertainment options to keep even complete non-skiers happy. 

Sydney
Want to escape winter for real? Then head down under, where summer is 
getting going as the first chill gusts of winter blow through the 
Northern Hemisphere. Sydney's an exciting place to visit any time. 
And with Olympic tourists long gone, and the weather getting 
beautiful, now's a great time to discover the opera house, 
picturesque harbor, world-famous Bondi Beach, and more. 

Taos
Located in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos is 
different from many ski towns you may have visited. Many have the 
dining and entertainment options that Taos (population: 5,000) has, 
but few can boast of having a cultural scene quite like Taos. For 
over 100 years, the town has attracted a growing number of artists, 
drawn by the distinctive light, desert beauty, and supportive 
community. Today, about 15 percent of the town's permanent residents 
are artists. In addition, the rich cultural traditions of the area's 
Mexican and Native American populations would make this a fascinating 
vacation spot even if it weren't for the nearby Taos ski area--one of 
the best in the Rockies. 

Switzerland
For a winter getaway with a European flavor, Switzerland is the place 
to be. The Swiss Alps are home to many ski/snowboarding areas, and a 
wide range of resorts--you're never too far from the mountains in 
tiny Switzerland. Towns such as Zermatt and St. Moritz are where 
you'll find the classic upscale European ski-resort experience. Not 
to worry; you'll also find more modest areas sprinkled among the 
hyper-glamorous ones. The country's famous cuisine, shopping, orderly 
cities, and picturesque mountain scenery are year-round treats, and 
enough to keep anyone busy all vacation long. 

Florida
Hate snow? Love sunshine? Think "winter wonderland" is an oxymoron? 
Then visit Florida this winter. The sunshine state is warm and sunny 
year-round--and surprisingly affordable, too. From the trendy good 
times of Key West to the stately charms of historical Pensacola and 
white-sandy Sarasota, Florida is the continental United States' own 
tropical getaway.
