I know, it's not easy to think about leaving Los Angeles, since we've been having one of the best summers ever! It's particularly difficult to give up these sun-soaked days, your swimming pool, our bountious beaches (Malibu's been magnificent), Angels games (we've long forgotten going to Dodgers games thanks to the war of the McCourts) and all things considered.

But everybody needs a break. So to motivate your travel planning mojo, we've handpicked a few great last minute deals for which you can get help booking from LAX, Bob Hope, John Wayne et al, at sites such as http://www.cheapOair.com, http://www.tripadvisor.com etc.( Bookings must be now through the end of this Septemer)

Boating and wine enthusiasts will flip over this package that celebrates Town Point Virginia Wine Festival, the states largest outdoor wine festival featuring more than 30 Virginia vintners, taking place in conjunction with Virginia Wine Month. "The essential to budget travel is to plan in front. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Organizing and consuming our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Curbing consuming and fees, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievement and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind economizing money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal finances is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel charge!..". For $250 per day, guests receive: Docking for boats up to 35 feet; Wine-tasting tickets for four people and souvenir glasses for four people.
