Twenty Quick Spring Break Getaways

This New York Times article provides a diverse selection of weekend getaway ideas for those who have been cooped up all winter and need a break. The choices range from a quick trip to London or the Virgin Islands to nearby diversions such as hiking the Catskills or driving a Hummer in the Nemacolin Resort in Western Pennsylvania.

The article provides helpful tips on how to get to the more distant vacation spots, as well as suggestions on where to stay and dine in the recommended destinations. One thing that we like about the suggested destinations is the abundance of good vacation rentals with off-peak rates at many of them. Also, this is the time of the year to get a great bargain on destinations that are not on a tropical island.
