Summer vacation may be coming to an end, but it’s not too late to take a spur of the moment trip. In the height of summer, Caribbean vacations are not at all hard to come by, but why not take the road less traveled on short notice (the vacation road less traveled often requires months of planning)? Head to Europe, Hollywood or Vegas and come back with some amazing stories to entertain friends through fall. There is no shortage in travel deals this time of year, here are a few trips I’d like to be taking myself. 


We’ve had Royal fever all summer, so why not see London in person? Cross the border to take advantage of this deal. Fly from New York, New Jersey or Newark airport and spend six nights in London and Dublin for US$843.00. Since this includes air, hotel and taxes you can’t ask for a better deal. What you can ask is where is the best place to scope Prince Harry.


Why not spend a weekend in Vegas? Find rates as low as $139 per night at the 4-Diamond Resort and Spa. This includes complimentary breakfast and a room upgrade. Star in your own Hangover, or take the family and live like you’re starring in National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation. Or not. 


Travel back in time in Gettysburg, PA for a weekend. Whether it's a history tour of a battlefield or a hike through nature, the simple life is a perfect escape from your everyday life. Stay at the Lodges of Gettysburg for US$79 per night and save 45 percent. 


For me, Labour Day marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall. Maybe that back to school feeling has been ingrained in me. But why not spend the last week of “Summer” on a cruise to Alaska? Royal Caribbean is offering rooms from $754.00.

What summer vacation have you always dreamed about?
