3. Fall Travel Ideas for Families
Fall travel can be terrific, with lower prices and fewer crowds; and in many places, weather in early fall is as nice as summer. Those with kids in school can do weekend getaways; those with preschoolers can have it all, including special events in September for families with tots.
October brings a full month of Halloween fun, everywhere from theme parks to country inns; in November, Thanksgiving weekend packages launch the holiday season. And throughout the fall, Caribbean and Hawaii holidays are at bargain rates.

October's become such a holiday season, let's give it a listing of its own. Halloween is the big story, but corn mazes are hugely popular too, and make a fun outing on a country weekend getaway.

Some like it hot, some like it cold; some want to get away from their own cold climates, and escape to sun and warmth; some want to embrace Winter and ski, 'board, sleigh, tube, or otherwise frolic in the snow.
6. Holiday Season
Holiday Season in the US starts at Thanksgiving and continues through December to Christmas, Hannukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year's Eve celebrations; in other countries, too, by the end of November holiday lights are up and special events begun. Wherever you travel, you'll find festivities; many events-- such as Holiday Lights-- continue to New Year's.
