Assuming your road trip isn’t for business purposes and you’re not in the process of a move, then your road trip is a vacation, right? Depending on what it is (some places have so much to do you’ll need many days), and how long you want the road trip to run, plan on spending a few days at your destination. Airlines, hotels and rental car companies have switched to this nickel-and-diming business model to compete in a world where people shop online for travel products and make decisions based on price.

You know the amount you take each day and you know the length of your stay, so take only those you will need on your holiday. I would never do the 5 apple deal, too many possibilities of resorts I wouldn’t want to stay at. We did the 6 apple adult only in October and were assigned Secrets Silversands.

Magical Mystery Tours began when Denise convinced a busy friend to let her book a trip for him on the condition that the destination would be a secret until he arrived at the airport. When you’re ready for an escape from the everyday, Secrets Resorts & Spas is your hideaway.

Stay at the new boutique Hotel Havgrim Seaside Hotel , a beautifully restored historic home right on the water, full of Nordic charm. I figure that flying out of National means that an international destination is unlikely, unless I’ll be connecting — just as unlikely considering that the trip is only four days.

Of course, nothing beats simply spending a day relaxing on one of the beautiful pristine beaches. This scenic island off the coast of Cancun made for a fun day trip. Upon driving up Cazadera Highway, we wondered what our vacation destination would hold, and we were very surprised and pleased with the prize, Secret Garden.
