I also liked how it was close to the airport so your vacation started right away :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297927 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:46:13 +0000 lawbee11 2297927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I think an adults-only resort in Cancun would be perfect for that. Agree with @Truth Bombs: that I've heard amazing things about Le Blanc.</p> <p>ETA: Do you have a Costco membership? Costco Travel has great rates for Cancun all-inclusives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297920 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:44:38 +0000 winniebee 2297920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Sit on a beach or near a pool....have someone bring me food and adult beverages all day...and read my kindle and nap. And eat all the great food there is! It's really just to relax and regroup. No need to explore, but if there's cool stuff near us we'd do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297915 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:40:34 +0000 Truth Bombs 2297915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I thought the same thing about Cancun but I have heard AMAZING things about this resort <a href="http://www.leblancsparesort.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.leblancsparesort.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297912 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:39:13 +0000 snowjewelz 2297912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Cancun is amazing! We stayed away from the busy/party strip. Stayed at Excellence Playa Mujeres... Amazing experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297911 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:38:36 +0000 lawbee11 2297911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Of the ones on your list I'd probably choose Puerto Rico. Cancun is actually really nice in December (and I think would be the cheapest of your options). But depends on if you want to just relax or get out and do stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297910 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:37:25 +0000 winniebee 2297910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Absolutely. We burn a hole in our card on a monthly basis. I also use my amazon visa for amazon purchases (to get double points and rewards) but only use our debit card to actually get cash or pay off the Southwest Card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297908 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:36:34 +0000 winniebee 2297908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Southwest flies to Cancun as well.....? All I can think of is SPRING BREAK! But I know there are nice resorts there, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297906 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:35:59 +0000 regberadaisy 2297906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: haha is that how you build points? Maybe I should and that's how we go on a yearly vacation! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297903 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:34:36 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2297903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to Palm Beach after Christmas (when I'm not having January babies that is) and it's beautiful but never quite as warm as I'd like.<br /> There are some really nice warm days, but often I'll throw on a sweatshirt.... And then the locals look at me like I'm crazy because they're wearing parkas.</p> <p>I'd pick Puerto Rico or Jamaica.</p> <p>Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297895 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:30:31 +0000 winniebee 2297895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Just put all of your purchases including gas, food, groceries, clothes on a Southwest Visa and you'll accumulate an ungodly amount of points over the course of a year. Bam, free flights ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297866 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:16:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2297866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>San Juan!!! Beach, warmth and I would totally go off resort for some good Puerto Rican food. </p> <p>Gah! I want to go somewhere warm and tropical so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297856 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:08:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 2297856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote San Juan, because you know it will be warm, where I feel like most of Florida *probably* would be warm but could have a cold snap. You'd hate to fly out of Maine in the winter just for 65 degrees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-december-getaway#post-2297849 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:06:03 +0000 winniebee 2297849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I are going away for a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday) in December...we live in Maine and want to do something warm. We have enough Southwest points to go to the following locations for free:</p> <p>- West Palm Beach<br /> - Nassau (Bahamas)<br /> - Miami<br /> - San Juan (Puerto Rico)<br /> - Montego Bay (Jamaica)</p> <p>There are a few other options (like Aruba) but we've been there before and/or they are too far for a long weekend. </p> <p>Where would you go?! Where would you stay? </p>
