Top 10 Holiday Travel Destinations for Families Who Just Need to Get Away!

Let's face it, the holidays are right around the corner.  With Thanksgiving only 29 days away, Hanukkah 43 days away and Kwanzaa & Christmas 61 days away, families are starting to make their holiday plans.  If you are like us, maybe you don't have extended family nearby or maybe their finances just can't stretch past $5.50 per gallon gasoline in Southern California.  Sometimes, we just need a nice, quiet, relaxing holiday vacation that is only your immediate household and doesn't break the bank.
