I know we're just getting started on summer weather in Southern California, and here I am ready to tell you about travel ideas for the fall. It's hard to think about going anywhere when the weather here is so gorgeous. But plan you must, if you want to travel this fall. There are some great values out there, and here are a few of the best.
Vietnam. This destination has been on my list for many years, and I've just never gotten around to it. Gate 1 (http://www.gate1.com/), one of my favorite tour operators, has a wonderful introductory tour to Vietnam for you to consider. It's nine days, at $1099, which includes breakfast each day, guides everywhere, and airfare from the westcoast. They also have a 12 day tour for $1659. These prices do not include tax or visa fees. Over the past few years I have come to know many Vietnamese immigrants, and their enthusiasm for their country really makes me want to go. There are cultural, historical, and places of natural beauty to see. You can cruise the Mekong Delta, visit Phong Nha National Park and see the underground caves, or visit Ho Chi Minh City. The price is so affordable you can hardly afford to stay home.
Tucson, Arizona, is very hot right now, but come October the weather will be fantastic. For under $100 per night you can stay at Starr Pass Golf Suites. This is a beautiful resort that affords the visitor every luxury, at an affordable price. Golf, health club, pool, tennis, and offsite horseback riding are all available. This is a great golf or tennis getaway when the weather cools off.
Florence, Italy. Try the Hotel La Gioconda for $95 a night. It's centrally located near the Cathedreal of Santa Maria dei Fiori, with satellite and cable tv, minibar, internet access, and the price includes breakfast. Save your money for a great Italian meal or a beautiful handbag. I hope that even though the weather is beautiful here in paradise right now, fall is just around the corner, and that's a great time to get away.
