Thanksgiving Getawaysby Michele Cheplic | More from this Blogger 05 Nov 2009 12:38 AM With some light rock radio stations already playing Christmas music 24/7, you may have thought that Thanksgiving had been cancelled, but alas, the holiday filled with delectable dishes and dysfunctional family members is still scheduled for November 26th. That leaves you with just a few short weeks to take advantage of the following Turkey Day travel deals: VERMONT Stoweflake Mountain Resort and Spa, located in Stowe, Vermont, is offering a three-night Thanksgiving getaway for families. Your clan can spend the holiday weekend at the four-diamond mountain resort and take part in a slew of family-oriented activities ranging from hiking and biking to watching how cider is made. Accommodations, activities, daily breakfast and a traditional Thanksgiving dinner begin at $429 per person. BAHAMAS If you want to escape the chaos that comes with hosting a house full of relatives this Thanksgiving, then consider jetting off to the Bahamas. The Atlantis, Paradise Island resort is offering a romantic beach getaway to couples, who want to spend Turkey Day on the beach, rather than basting a bird for 12. Now through December 15th, this ultra-luxe property is featuring an irresistible Sun, Fun, and Romance package that allows lovebirds to enjoy Atlantis' great amenities and restaurants. For just $299 per person, the deal includes a 3-night stay, complimentary one-day access to the ritzy Cain at Cove pool, a sushi and sake sampler at the world-famous Nobu restaurant, one margarita per person at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill, and one sunset martini at the Jean George's Dune at One & Only Ocean Club. In addition, each couple will enjoy one dolphin or sea lion encounter, plus the opportunity to either snorkel with manta rays in the Ruins Lagoon or hit up the links at the Ocean Club Golf Course as part of the package price. CARIBBEAN If you are looking to escape crazy Uncle Joe and Thanksgiving's chilly temps, then consider spending Turkey Day in the Caribbean. For just $449 per person you cna luxuriate onboard a seven-night cruise, which departs from San Juan, Puerto Rico and stops at the historic port city of Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Dominica; Grenada; and Tobago. If you can't make the November sailing, the same deal is being offered in December and January.
