So You're Thinking of Going Some Place Warm

It’s December, you just had to dig your car out of the snow, and a thought crosses your mind, “Wouldn’t it be nice to be somewhere warm instead of being stuck in the cold?” It’s one of the most common scenarios AAA Travel Agents hear once the temperatures begin to drop, but many are left guessing on where exactly that warm destination should be. So, next time you are thinking “It’s too cold, I want to go somewhere,” here are a few suggestions on where that “somewhere” could be!

1. Aruba
The “A” of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao), Aruba is located just miles off the coast of South America and is ideal for water sports enthusiasts. Surrounded by tantalizing turquoise waters, the island is a playful study of contrasts, from its white-sand beaches dotted with iconic divi-divi trees, to its cactus-strewn inland. Equally ideal for a memorable family vacation or a romantic escape for two, come discover for yourself the friendly people, beautiful natural wonders, and hidden treasures that make this one happy island.

2. Punta Cana
Easily accessible thanks to frequent flights from many major cities, its 31 miles of beachfront provides more than enough room for the more than 4.7 million visitors that flock to its shores each year. Another way to enjoy the gorgeous shoreline is from the countless golf courses that pepper the country. Grab a bucket of golf balls for practice in the morning, then lay on a bucket–list beach by noon. Not bad!

3. Hawaii
You may have heard the rumor that Hawaii is perfect no matter when you go. We're here to confirm that the rumors are true. Hawaii has an average daytime temperature of an ideal 78°F from November through April! Warm enough for beaching it in Waikiki and at the North Shore in Oahu, and cool enough to shop and sightsee in Honolulu, this climate is contentment to the nth degree. It may take you a little to get there, but we can assure you, it’s worth the wait!
