Thanksgiving may be the season for sharingdreams, but it’s hard to feel grateful when you remember the usual frustrations accompanying this holiday. Cooking is the largest dilemma and in most cases, it frustratingly falls on just one or two women’s shoulders to prepare a huge spread for the entire family. And then there’s the matter of readying the house to accommodate all visiting friends and loved ones.

Spend Thanksgiving Away from Home

If you want a hassle-free weekend this Holiday Season, treat yourself and everyone else to a relaxing weekend getaway for the holiday. Perhaps an budget Hawaiian vacation. Here are a few vacation deals to give you an idea of what to look for.

Bolton, Landing, New York: The Sagamore

This Lake George facility has a variety of special getaway deals to offer. Expect to pay at least $349 but this already comes with breakfast and, of course, holiday dinner. Children below 18 may stay in your room without extra charge and those with three-night bookings can stay for an extra night for free.

Crested Butte, Connecticut: Resort Quest

Dial the number for Resort Quest, request the Crested Butte Holiday Package, and families of four will pay less than $800 to ski their way to their two-bedroom condo and make use of lift passes for three wonderful days. But first you have to pray that snow comes early!

Florida: Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and Amelia Island

Groups of four won’t have to spend more than $180 when they get to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The 2,400-acre establishment promises a relaxing night’s stay in a 2-bedroom condo and endless entertainment for all the family with their teen zone, boogie snow boarding, kayaking, a visit from Santa, and many other family-oriented activities. In Amelia Island, you’ll just have to fork over $50 for a one-night stay and the privilege to pretend that Thanksgiving took place in summer while you sail off in a rented boat or play racket ball or volley ball under the beautiful Florida sun.

New York: Regency Hotel

A suite good for six to eight persons can go as low as $539. Evening meal at the hotel is priced at $49 with a 50% discount for kids but you can always have the hotel serve your Thanksgiving dinner for you and nineteen other guests in your suite.

To celebrate in the tradition of Thanksgiving, watch out for holiday fireworks and parades as well as the tree-lighting ceremony held every evening.

For a lot less than $200 per night, you can discover the resort’s ongoing Family Getaway By Request promo. The special deal also includes a 50% discount if you book a second room for your kids, two-for-one spa, complimentary kids’ camp, and many other features.
