This summer, “Family Adventure” packages bundle lodgings, meal voucher, plus outside activities such as paintballing, geocaching, waterpark. Expiry: Sept. 5 to Oct.31 2006, depending on which resort.

• 1. Boston: Just Ducky at the Fairmont Copley Plaza

  The Fairmont Copley Plaza -- opened in 1912-- is a class act in Boston: and if you need proof, know that this place has not only an elite level called "Fairmont Gold" but also a Canine Ambassador.

  Kids are welcome too, and will like the Just Ducky Package available through Sept. 5 2006.

  So what's the "Ducky" part? Well, it's about the “Make Way for Ducklings” statue -- in nearby Boston's Public Garden-- that commemorates the famous Robert McCloskey children’s book with that name. Boston's Public Garden is a favorite with families. A highlight is a 15-minute slow cruise through a lagoon on one of the Swan Boats, a tradition since 1877.

  The Just Ducky Package includes:

  • newly renovated guestroom
  • family guest pass for the Swan Boats
  • a copy of "Make Way for Ducklings"
  • two miniature plush “quacks”
  Rates start at $299.
