What do you buy this holiday season for the person on your list, who loves to travel? You can always buy them an Apple Vacations’ gift certificate. If you need something else to stuff in their stocking, there are lots of cool holiday travel gadgets out there. Travel scales are a very popular item. With increased costs on overweight bags, travelers don’t want to incur extra baggage fees. Travel water bottles are also a hot one. I however personally can’t wait to use my new FLIP camcorder. It is a Camcorder that is the size of a regular camera. You can buy them in a few different sizes and colors. They record up to 2 hours of video. They are easy to use and carry. The best feature of the FLIP is that they plug right into your computer or laptop so it is super easy to download the videos. FLIP’s are also very affordable; on sale you can get one around $125.00. So you don’t mind taking it on vacation. If you unfortunately lose or break it, it’s not a hard loss like a $500.00 video camera. So watch out Riviera Maya, I’ll be there soon with my new FLIP!

Today we announced a very special One–Week sale to Palladium Hotels & Resorts. This one is extra special because Apple Vacations is one of the only tour operators that offers Palladium! So in addition to the exclusive product, we have even more amazing prices now too! Palladium Hotels & Resorts in Mexico & The Caribbean are really great for couples, singles and families. They have something for everyone. I have sent a friend on a “Family of Five” trip to Riviera Maya, since they could get one room for their entire family and not pay extra for a second room. They were very happy to save money with one room, and also to have their children in the room with them. I have also sent friends to both Punta Cana and Riviera Maya, who were couples and they had a great time as well. They liked the restaurant choices and lively atmosphere. Palladium Hotels & Resorts are some of Apple Vacations most popular resorts in The Riviera Maya and in Punta Cana.
I am an avid sports fan. The Phillies and Eagles are at the top of my list. I always saw ads for “Superbowl on the beach” or watch “the game” from the beach … but never until I experienced it did I realize how much fun it is!
I am a beach lover. I am also someone who loves to float, swim, snorkel, play, or even just stand and chat with friends in the ocean. I love looking at the ocean, listening to it, smelling the saltwater scent, but most of all, I love submersing myself in it. If given the choice, I will always opt to sit in the sand on the beach and swim in the ocean rather than be poolside while on vacation. That’s just my preference.
When I think of The Caribbean Islands or Mexico… an image conjured up is always a fancy little drink with a fruit wedge and a little umbrella. Ahhhh… paradise sitting on the beach, feet up with one of these in my hand.
