There is no doubt I love Costco. I go during lunch hour to sample all their treats. There is no denying when it FINALLY opened in Nashville, I was there for the ribbon cutting ceremony. Similar to the main character in Where the Heart Is, I could happily live in a Costco Warehouse instead of a WalMart. My fridge is stocked with Kirkland milk, my jeans are Calvin closeouts, and I watch How I Met Your Mother on their 60 inch Vizio TV; all purchased from Costco. My life is complete thanks to all Costco offers. If only I could take those advantages to another place, it would be the perfect one stop shop. Well much to my surprise, I now can take Costco with me on my next vacay.

Take Costco on vacay? Well not so much, but I can now use my membership for more than just a gallon of peanut butter. Costco offers a service called the Costco Traveler, to make vacations much more simple and affordable. They offer a selection of the world's most popular resort destinations, hotels, cruise lines, rental car companies and other vacation options. Currently for the month of April Costco Travel is running a promotion for 4 nights in Cancun, for $399 at Omni Cancun Hotel and Vilas. For about $100 a day, you will treated to all the perks of an All-Inclusive, an ocean view room, Resort credit to use on additional services. This is a great getaway for a quick break without breaking the bank. The promotion ends this April, but you don't have to travel until the end of August.

Looking for a bit more action? Costco can take you to the ends of the earth with vacation packages, or hotel deals. Wish you could experience the Changing of the Guard (or catch a glimpse of Prince William and Harry)? Costco can make it happen. Can't decide what place you want to visit on your next vacation? Costco has cruise deals from Europe to crossing the Panama Canal. Visiting family and don't want to be at the mercy of their car? Costco can arrange a rental car so you can escape when your cousins have gotten under your skin a few too many times. If you have a travel wish, Costco can make it happen. All your friends will be jealous when you come back from Cancun with that killer tan.

Come Sail(Fly) Away

Has the fall chill made it to your bones yet? Does this economic situation make you want to escape reality? No longer have the cash to run from your problems? This is where Vacations To Go and Resort Vacations To Go come in handy. This makes cruising and vacationing so easy, hassle free, and in expensive. The sister sites list deals and steals on vacations on luxury cruise liners and decedent resorts. Both sites have a feature called the 90-Day Ticker listing last minute deals for the up-coming three months. So if you are dying to get away ASAP but don’t want to spend a small fortune you can book a last minute trip. For example one can take a Caribbean Cruise on the Norwegian Gem for only $699 for a whole week (http://www.vacationstogo.com/fastdeal.cfm?deal=27154). Not into cruising, why not a week at Breezes in the Bahamas for $628 (http://www.resortvacationstogo.com/resort_fd_popup.html?fd=10156). These are deals you cannot pass up. Airfare is not included, but Vacations To Go will help you get to your destination for the most inexpensive rate they can find. As the days get closer to the trip the resorts and cruises will lower their prices to entice you to get some R&R. Can’t just get up and leave with only 3 months notice? They have deals for those of us who like to plan in advance.

Destination options reach all corners of the globe. If you cannot find a place to visit, I suggest booking the next civilian trip to outer space. The site lists all appropriate details about the ship or resort. There are pictures for you to view and amenities to drool over. Reviews explain if it is worth your money to take time off or if you should find another option.

Once you have found the perfect vacation to unwind, you call up the toll free number to speak with an agent. You simply give them the deal number and they walk you through the process. It is an easy, seamless process that makes booking travel fun, not a pain. Go thaw your bones and show off your tan. Make your friends jealous!
