If I could go anywhere for Christmas vacation…

OK, so if you haven’t planned a Christmas vacation yet, or you want to know where to go for next year, I’ve had the opportunity to travel a lot through the years.  Here’s a list of places that I’d recommend if you want to have a great Christmas vacation in the snow or the beach:

  • Los Cabos ranks as my most favorite beach destination.  We stayed at the Fiesta Americana (which was pricey, but you can get a good deal if you get creative with points through Marriott or other programs)  It’s self contained and well located, and the place is still quiet and very family friendly.  For the guys, the fishing is incredible and the golfing is totally out of this world!  The ladies will love the sun, shopping, and pools.  The kids will love the beaches, ocean, fishing, sailing, snorkeling, you name it.
  • Snow skiing resorts that I’d recommend: Keystone (Colorado), Whistler (Canada; and you won’t believe the size of this mountain resort), and if you want no lines go for Deer Valley (Utah).  They only allow a certain amount of skiers on the mountain per day, it’s unbelievable.
  • If you want something that will totally blow you mind, and a place that you’ve probably never thought of as a family vacation, go to Circus Circus and its Adventure Dome in Las Vegas, that’s right, Las Vegas, Nevada for a great family vacation.  That still ranks as one of my favorite places as a family vacation.  You can’t imagine the fun that one hotel packs in for the entire family.  I don’t know if I’d do Vegas for Christmas, but, it would be interesting ;-) after Christmas.
