Ready? Here are six great fall travel ideas to whet your appetite.
- Hit the mountains. East coast, West Coast. The Rockies. The Smokies. The Green Mountains. Take your pick, fall is one of the best times to hike, camp and explore. And, it is in between time for many ski areas, so many offer wonderful deals.
- Hit the Caribbean. Hurricane season is winding down, the winter holiday crush is not even on their radar and great deals abound. Everywhere.
- Europe. Okay, this one is a bigger commitment. But really, don't we all want our kids to get off this Continent at some point before they graduate college?
- Disney. It is as close to empty as you will find it in the early fall and a Disney vacation promises great deals and short lines.
- Camping. It is not too late to go camping. Pack the sweatshirts, a couple of extra blankets and picture yourselves cuddled around a campfire beneath some of the clearest night skies you'll ever see.
- New York City. We love New York for families anytime. But the fall is perfect. Lots to do, gorgeous weather, reduced crowds.
