After weeks or months of working five days a week, I get to the point where I’d really like to find some warm weather by a pool or the beach and just park myself.  I figure I’m like most everyone else in needing to keep a careful watch over the budget. Admittedly flying to exotic resorts may not be in our  budgets this year.  However, if we can carve out some vacation money, I can suggest a few vacations where you will find warm weather, water and have at least some chance of trimming the budget.

California is one place to consider, and if you’re looking for warmer weather you should think SoCal.  There are pushing 100 miles of great accessible beaches between San Diego to Malibu—dozens of places where you can lay out your towel.  Get help and information on planning your Southern California vacation at this site, which specializes in providing information from the perspective of the locals.  I think you’ll find many tips and good advice that you won’t find at other sources.

If you’d like to go further south, you might want to look to Mexico.  A trip to Cancun in the spring or summer can be a smart choice, and you are likely to find Cancun travel deals and discounts if you do some research on the web.  Look into staying in the Hotel Zone, along a peninsula where resorts offer beautiful beaches.  You’ll get plenty of warm weather in Cancun.

There are travel deals to be found for warm-weather destinations throughout the
Caribbean.  Cancun is just one of many great resort areas.  Take a look at other places such as Anguilla and Antigua.  But research carefully your intended destination, not only to ensure a safe and trouble-free trip but also to learn about the area (culture, history, interesting attractions, etc.) to make the trip more fun.  Fortunately you can accomplish a lot of study in a short period of time with a good internet connection.
