Sam's Summer Picks

Family Fun

 

Bike the mountains of New Hampshire for a great family and eco-friendly vacation.

 

Try winter ski resorts that stay open through the summer. There are lots of outdoor activities, good food and affordable rates during the warmer months.

U.S. Trips

 

Many New York City residents head to the shore or the country during the hot Summer months, so this is a great (cheaper & less crowded) time to visit the city's hotels and outdoor attractions. Enjoy a picnic in Central Park or catch a ferry in Battery Park to the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island.

 

Minneapolis, MN, is cool (think temperature), affordable and centrally located. Enjoy its architecture, theater district, great restaurants and shopping.

 

Some call Austin, TX, the live music capital of the world. We call it well-surrounded! You can take a day trip to Barton (hot) Springs or any of the 32 nearby wineries.

Cities Less Traveled

 

   On a Budget? Forget Europe ...

 

Go to Canada. Try Old Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver for a little piece of Europe in your own backyard.

 

Go to Argentina. Buenos Aires looks like Paris but feels like Italy, and the food, hotels and drinks are only a third of what you'd pay in Europe right now.

Beach Pick

 

Sam likes Myrtle Beach, SC, for its unlimited golf, beaches and low prices. But the best part is that most people have yet to discover this Southern jewel.

Luxury Travel

 

What could be more luxurious than your own private island? Spectacle Island off the coast off Maine is only a short ride from Bar Harbor and can cost $7,500 to $25,000 a week. Depending on the location and management company, other options/islands like this one can range in price from $600 to $300,000.
