It's no surprise that everyone tends to
get that spring time rush and desire to get out and smell the roses – or daylilies,
or tulips, or whatever your personal favorite might be. It's the season of
love, and everyone should be taking their gas masks and anti-social ware off to
bask in it! It's the perfect time for an adventure – you never know what you
might find just a few miles across the country. Here are some vacation locale
ideas to jump start your imagination to what could be:

1. Panama City Beach: A popular spring break destination
for the college lot, Panama City is a great beach to hit if you want to feel young
again and hit the town. Lots of night clubs, great beaches, and a generally
upbeat atmosphere are what make this city a great and prevalent spring vacation
spot. For more on the area, click here. http://www.visitpanamacitybeach.com/

2. Prairie du Chien: Wisconsin has a
beautiful ambiance that is even more brought out during spring time. Prairie du
Chien is nothing if not magical – the fields, flowers, and mountains spring you
right into the season. The second oldest community in the state, the Prairie is
a quaint change from any big city you could vacation to, and well worth it.

3. Finger Lakes Wine Country: New York is a popular travel
destination, and nothing changes come spring time. But Wine Country is not
usually traveled to here – typically California handles those travelers. Finger
Lakes Wine Country in New York is everything you would expect of a classic vineyard;
the European styled enclosing areas are a romance in and of themselves. If you
want to experience France in the US, here's your ticket.

So travel alone, with your spouse, with friends – spring time
is a time for rejuvenation, and there's no better way to do so than taking that
getaway trip to somewhere new.

In this day and age, technology is everything. It's in
how we function day to day – the way we get around, how we acquire information,
how we communicate with each other – it's all relevant to the technology we
have at our fingertips. So why should our vacations be any different? Most
vacationers don't think about the accessibility factor when planning their
stays, going away from reality is the number one priority. But technology is
definitely one of the features many of us don't want to leave behind with our
stresses. Here are some of the more high tech hotels located right here in the
states:

1. The Avatar Hotel: Nestled in the hills of Santa Clara,
California, the Avatar Hotel is popular for its techy style and atmosphere. The
super modern décor makes everyone feel like a star, and the complimentary wi-fi
throughout the hotel is a given. Enjoy the complimentary wine hour in the lobby
as well! For more information, click their webpage here. http://www.jdvhotels.com/hotels/siliconvalley/avatar

2. Mondrian SoHo: Located in the city that never
sleeps, this New York hotel is the picture of luxury. Everything you'd imagine
from a Mondrian hotel situated in a city like New York is the perfect recipe
for nothing more than perfection. We can't rant and rave enough – it's a great
hotel. And the technologically savvy suites are perfect for those who don't
like to be separated from their devices. For booking info, click here.

3. The Jefferson: Washington DC is a staple of
American culture, and The Jefferson is no different. The classic furnishings are
a tribute to the DC atmosphere, and it is great for the history buff. The spa
and dining area is a great conjunction with the futuristic amenities. For more,

on your vacation. Check out any of these hotels for the most comfortable stay
imaginable.
