Places We'd Like to Go in the Off-Season
November 1, 2007. When we think of all the great places to rent a luxury vacation rental in the "off season," our minds go into overdrive. As the fall colors wind down, we enter the stage before epic snows and tropics-bound winter escapes. A few items inspired us.
The Washington Post ran an article titled "Key West: In the Off-Season, It's Even More Laid Back." An even more laid back Key West? Sounds good to us. Writer Diane Roberts incorporates the six-toed cats living in Ernest Hemingway's home as metaphors for the way life should be:
"The Hemingway cats embody the lazy hedonism of Key West, drinking, eating and sleeping when they feel like it."
The Toronto Globe and Mail promotes the savings and wisdom of off-season travel combined with tried-and-true frugal travel tips. Stories of sterling deals in exotic locales like the Caribbean are combined with tales of frequent-flier-mile pros. In our experience, the off-season is one of the easiest times to redeem frequent flier miles.
There are also a few weeks left in the shoulder season at ski locales, of which Canada has plenty. If you don't ski or snowboard, but don't want to pay summer prices for a Canadian vacation, these next few weeks might be the time for spontaneous travel.
