As I look outside my window, I see trees without leaves blowing in the wind. I see mud everywhere around my house and small signs of Spring off in the distance. I look forward to the next few weeks as we see new life, flowers growing and hear birds chirping more and more. Hopefully the sun will shine through the clouds and the temperatures will warm up. Until then, I dream of warmer destinations and am starting to plan my next getaway.
To escape the thaw there are lots of travel deals on right now to help Canadians getaway and save big. Here are a few you can take advantage of now for your next Spring getaway.

If you could getaway, which one of these deals would you take advantage of?
Some fabulous deals here…thanks for sharing! Every little bit of savings helps, and 20-30% is substantial. ?
oh my gosh I would LOVE to get away! I know so many people that have escaped to the warmth this past week. We aren’t planning on going away anytime soon but good to know about these fabulous resorts
It’s so grey and cold and rainy today that a spring thaw getaway sounds like a great idea! I’ve never been to Florida and 30% sounds pretty tempting
What a beautiful placel! This is looked like a great place to spend my next summer. I’ve never been and it’s on my list as a family trip in the next year
Oh, how I’d love to travel to any one of these places! Especially now that we’ve moved to the east coast. Florida is just a short flight or few hours drive away!
A carribbean vacation sounds dreamy right now! We just can’t seem to warm up and it’s driving me crazy!!
So many amazing places to visit! We were just talking about cruises and Florida vacations for next year!
I would love to go to the Caribbean. We’ve had the silliest weather, cold then hot then cold, it’s a giant tease and I just want spring to be here.
I would love to go away to someplace warm as well. Florida is calling my name but the prices for airline tickets are expensive here due to the spring break in NYC.
I am itching to get back to Florida! We’ve had rain all week and I’ve never been ready for sunshine and sand like I am now!
Thanks for the heads up on the discounts. We would love to travel to someplace warm right now, but we’re saving a lot for a dream vacation in July. I will share the information with friends and family who are thinking of “thawing out.”
wow.. amazing destinations and great deals. Now if only my husband & I could get some time off together.
