Anyone that lives in a colder climate really learns to dislike the long, cold winter months. One way that I have found to add a bit of summer into the middle of winter is to take a short get away to one of the warmer places. In past years I have enjoyed a Mexico vacation, a great trip to the Caribbean and also two all inclusive vacations to Cuba. Each vacation is memorable and special, although there are definite differences in the three.

My friends always ask me which location I would recommend and although it sounds like a bit of ducking, I honestly would recommend all three locations. Each has their own unique features such as the sport fishing in Mexico, the wonderful food and entertainment of the Caribbean Islands and the great cultural and historical sights in Cuba. In addition all the areas have wonderful beaches, terrific people and of course warm, tropical weather. If you are planning on taking a southern vacation this winter, keep in mind that the packages sell out quickly so be sure to book in advance. The peak tourist season is from early December through the end of March, with Christmas being the most in demand season. For the best selection of hotels and accommodations you do need to book at least several months in advance, with some of the resorts booked almost a year ahead.
