The weather outside is sultry and warm, still suitable for swim attire. But Fall vacation plans are well underway in households nationwide. With school back in session, Autumn is a great opportunity to take a weekend off to enjoy the serene, Autumn air, glowing foliage and pre-winter preparations.

What’s more appropriate for lovers than Florence Italy, with some of the world’s most spectacular architecture, art and museums. With the city sparse in travelers, you can tour the home of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, dine in quant corner cafes and sip on decadent wines. Visit the Fountain of Neptune, the Santa Croce church and Ponte Vecchio. Temperatures reach the 80s in September, dropping to temperate 70s in October.

Vermont is at it’s peak in the Fall, with vibrant Maples amid lavish bed and breakfasts. Discover spectacular fall foliage, go apple picking, sip cappuccino or chai tea, visit a local farmer’s market or take a picturesque bike ride among brilliant reds, robust oranges and bright yellows. Foliage peaks in early to mid-October. But book well in advance to avoid disappointment.

You may also enjoy a Provençal holiday in southern France, where charming French towns and villages are left peaceful and tranquil following the influx of summer tourists. Experience the romance of Oleander and blooming Lavender fields along miles of vineyards. Tour ancient abbeys, chapels and historic forts. Experience the tastes of world-renowned wines. Travel the quaint, private backcountry roads and old cobbled streets while dining amid distinctly European outdoor cafes.

Finally, who can resist an urban escape to New York City when Central Park is painted in foliage and skies are a soothing tone of blue. Experience the Big Apple’s glory, taking in a Broadway musical, enjoying unbelievable nightlife, tasting dishes for countless cultures and pampering yourself with some of the finest spa and beauty services the nation has to offer. Climb the Empire State Building, see the Statue of Liberty glowing in the night sky, then watch or participate in the extravagant New York Village Halloween parade complete with dancers, music and thousands of costumed natives.

Treat yourself and your significant other to a Autumn vacation you’ll never forget. Visit http://travel.vasrue.com, to find complete travel packages, book flights or find the perfect hotel or resort for your travel plans.

Florida Vacations – From Orlando To The Keys

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

The kids have finally broken you down and you’ve agreed on that
family vacation getaway to Florida. They’re excited. They want
to go to Orlando, and you’re fairly certain that if you hear
one more thing about Goofy or Micky your head is going to
explode. What’s a poor mom or dad to do? While it’s true that
Disney World is one of the premier family vacation getaways in
Florida, it is by no means the only fun place to be.

The Orlando/Kissimmee area boasts a plentiful array of family
vacation getaways. In fact, Kissimmee can be considered the
laid-back, historic alternative to Orlando. Residents of
Kissimmee have gone to great lengths to keep the hometown charm
that the area is noted for. While there are some water parks and
resorts, attractions such as Old Town, rodeos, horseback riding
and a petting farm make it a wonderful family vacation getaway.

Other towns in the area which are ideal family vacation
getaways include: Mount Dora, perfect for biking trips; Polk
City, for the family of aircraft enthusiasts; and Sanford, home
of the Central Florida Zoological Park.

Further south lies Palm Beach County. Yes, that’s right; I did
say Palm Beach. I know what you’re thinking. ‘Palm Beach’ and
‘family vacation getaways’ don’t go hand in hand. That’s where
you’re wrong. You just have to know where to look. West Palm
Beach is perfect for that family vacation getaway, thanks to
destinations such as the Norton Museum of Art and the Lion
Country Safari, where visitors can see lions, giraffes, and a
host of other animals, running free.

As you travel further north, you can give your kids the perfect
opportunity to use their family vacation getaway to learn about
the environment, by visiting the Loggerhead Park and The Marine
Life Center in Juno. Here they can be taught about turtles and
go on turtle walks.

We’re not done yet. Welcome to the Florida Keys, the perfect
destination for putting a little more excitement in your family
vacation getaway. Certainly I wouldn’t suggest you take your
children diving, unless they’re accustomed to that sort of
thing, but you can definitely visit Islamorada. They’ll love
their family vacation getaway when they get to interact
one-on-one with dolphins and sea lions. You’ll also have the
chance to feed the giant tarpon that gather around the docks.
Now how many people can say they had a chance to do that on
their family vacation getaway? So you see? Disney World isn’t
the only option for your family vacation getaway.
