It’s December and the holidays are upon us. But, what to do…What to do? Do you want to travel where the skies are blue and the sun is balmy? Or are you a ‘snow bird’ and you’re out looking for that winter getaway? Well, Ho-Ho-Ho Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you! Just like Santa, in this post, Military Fares.com has a little something-something for everyone! We present to you Barbados and Lake Tahoe to consider for your vacation getaways.
Barbados, known as ‘The Rock’, is a place that has something for everyone who loves warm weather with variety. The year round temperature stays between 75-85 degrees while the humidity remains below 74% which makes it very nice and very comfortable. This Caribbean Island has plenty of coastlines for you to enjoy too. All having their own unique vibe for visitors. The west coast is somewhat calm and laid back. White sandy shores and lots of high end boutiques for relaxing and shopping. The east coast is more of the surfer’s lair. 
With wide, wind-blown beaches and surfs created by the Atlantic Ocean, it’s a delight for surfers visiting from all over the world! The south coast also has great beaches; and is ideal for water sports like windsurfing, kite surfing and boogie boarding. Younger tourists find this an awesome spot to hang out and meet new people. And, if you are an explorer then the north coast is where you want to be. It’s quiet and undeveloped. There you will find coral and sandstone cliffs and coves to explore. The inner island has additional places and scenery to check out like the Mahogany Forests.
Are you a history buff? Then you should know that Barbados was a British Colony until 1966 when it gained its independence. The country has a 98% literacy rate and the Barbadians (also known as Bajans) are great hosts to visitors! You’ll have a great time visiting the local rum shops and taking in all the wonderful culture. You should check out the site: http://www.Barbados.org for more great information about the island-country.
Now, for those of you who like the cold, Lake Tahoe is the perfect place for you. It is located along the border between California and Nevada and it too has a variety of things available to do. There are ski resorts, fishing, swimming, skating, biking, hiking and sledding to name a few. The time of the year and weather are the determining factors as to what you’ll enjoy. So, you might want to check the weather before leaving to go on vacation. There are probably more, but I found two great sites that might be useful in planning your Lake Tahoe vacation: http://www.visitinglaketahoe.com and http://www.tahoe.com. They have a ton of information about travel and road conditions along with additional information about what activities are available during this time of the year.
Both Barbados and Lake Tahoe are known for being excellent dining locations as well as being hotspots for great night life. So be prepared to enjoy yourself should you decide to travel.
As always, we encourage you to check out the MilitaryFares.com site for great deals on tickets. Also, if you haven’t done so already, click on the “Packages” link on the site to see what package deals are available. 
Be safe and have a Happy Holiday!
