Williamsburg Virginia is full of history. The city and the surrounding area have absolutely embraced their apparent role as a historic region and custodian of maintaining a living homage to the early days of America.  

Williamsburg is awash with local attractions, landmarks and museums dedicated to telling the story of how our country was born, how people lived in the Colonial era, and how different prominent and well known, and sometimes little or never heard of people had such influence on how the United States was shaped in its formative years. For all the diversity and ambitions the heart and soul of America was built in this region.

So with all the posturing set aside let’s talk about the fun that any one can have by visiting Colonial Williamsburg. From events, to historical re-enactments, to just visiting any number of great landmarks you’ll find something to tickle your fancy as you visit this charming town. The actual area is called Colonial Williamsburg and is located on 301 acres where hundreds of buildings and other structures have been restored and maintained offering the visitor a quality visit. The grounds are manned by “actors” if you may, costumed in the garbs of the era, telling the different stories associated with the history of Williamsburg. From the great stories of heroism to the dark chapter that includes slavery. Some notable museums to visit would have to be the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Art Museum, the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum and Basset Hall. 

The grounds has something for everyone and can also be an excellent educational experience. Contact the call center at (757) 229-1000 for information about visiting or just visit the Colonial Williamsburg official website to find out all it has to offer.

The Silver Lake Resorts Orlando is one of the premiere hotel properties that Reserve Vacations works with in offering our unique vacation packages. What makes this property so valuable is that it offers several packages if you are looking for an Orlando Vacation Deal. 

We’ll touch upon a few of the deals they have to offer as each comes with different attributes. Packages range in price from $129 to $599 for multiple night stays and where premiums and add ons are not included in all. 

The cheapest package the Silver Lake Resort Orlando offers is titled quite simply the Hotel Only Silver Lake Resort Orlando Package. The beauty of this package is you get great accommodations for 4 Days and 3 Nights right in the heart of the Orlando area for $129. You do the math.

The next level up in the quality of packages offers accommodations plus day passes to Disney World. The most any one package offers is two (1) day passes, but that price alone can significantly decrease the cost of what you’d pay if you had to pay for those two passes. A featured package that is perfect for family’s is quite aptly coined the Silver Lake Family Disney Fun Vacation. For $299 you get 4 Days and 3 Nights plus two (1) day passes to Disney world. The only issue is if you have a large family this package only offers a one bedroom villa. That being said, for just $459 you can upgrade your package to the Silver Lake 4 Night Disney Vacation which includes 5 Days and 4 Nights of accommodations, but in a 2 bedroom villa. Of course this package also include two (1) day passes to Disney World. 

What’s even better is that this is a great property. Each villa comes with a full kitchen area, flat screen television and patio area. What’s more is that you may not even have to leave the property to have fun because there is something for everyone there. For the avid golfer they offer a golf simulator room, a fitness center for the fitness freak, a cabana bar for the party minded traveler and if that wasn’t enough they have an onsite movie theater. 

So if you’re looking to take that vacation but are afraid that the costs are too high you can surely see getting to Orlando doesn’t have to break the bank.

For many college students the beginning of their spring semesters has just begun, but I’m sure for many the thoughts of spring break dance in their heads. There are several packages that Reserve Vacations offers to warm weather spots that might be of interest. The only thing is the packages offered aren’t for the students, these are for the unsung heros of college campuses being the staff and faculty. The reason being is that many of the packages and the properties participating by offering inventory for these unique vacation packages have age and income requirements. Wouldn’t a great discount to place far away from the classrooms of students and beauracracy be wonderful? Let us begin.

Another great destination that may not even be on your radar is Myrtle Beach South Carolina. If you’re an avid golfer the packages we offer here may be just the ticket. So let’s start with one of the best deals we have, starting at $199 for accommodations plus 2 free rounds of golf at the Wild Wing Resort, gets you a vacation  where your stay will be for 4 days and 3 nights.

When the internet began, oh so many years ago, the big move was for the innovative entrepreneurs to create web sites that consolidated “inventory” as it were under one roof and try and sell for travel segments like hotels and airlines. The trend is still here, but it appears that for many suppliers they are saving the best deals for their own web sites.

As professionals in the travel market have become more comfortable utilizing the internet for business and going as far as hiring in-house employees to manage day to day operations of internet functions. The result, the desire by carriers to drive more people to their own websites in an effort to forge and build brand loyalty. The tool of choice in this war is the use of promotion and/or discount codes

Say you’re looking to take a Williamsburg Vacation or find a Las Vegas Vacation Package, that ReserveVacations.com offers. In this instance these packages do not provide transportation to the destination. So utilizing the so called promo codes makes the discounts on these vacations all the better. Go to, say JetBlues web site and you’ll find 10% off regular rate specials and discounts all by using the promo code method.

In an effort to make the vacation packages appear to be more enticing Reserve Vacations has figured out that this is a great way to make the already discounts on vacation packages they have better.

As we stated a few posts ago, the continuing decline in the economy has many businesses running for cover. The smart ones, however, are finding ways to survive and thrive. The online travel business is a beacon to this darkness that has befallen the economy as of late. 

The first in line of the “big boys” showing great discount vacations is Travelocity. There set of deals actually came to my attention during a television commercial. As they are known, the Gnome that has become their corporate mascot was put in a commercial where the premise was that times are tough and cost cutting is essential. Pictures of destinations were torn from a brick wall as opposed to live video showing the scale back that Travelocity was taking. The important thing from the commercial was their innovative 50% off vacation program. Certain restrictions apply but look at their deals they are pretty enticing. Just refer to the silver lining sale. 

Second, are the continuing hot deals coming from Reserve Vacations. Some of the newest vacation packages that have appeared on the site are a Myrtle Beach Golfer’s Dream Package for $199, the Orlando Unreal Deal Vacation Package which is 3 Days and 2 Nights for $239 and a Cancun Vacation Package which is called the Cancun Fun in the Sun Package which offers four distinctive vacation packages where accommodations at the Laguna Suites and Golf Resort Cancun are provided.

Branson Missouri is well known for it’s entertainment. The Branson area boast over 55 theaters and show concert halls. ReserveVacations.com has a great Branson Vacation Package that offers some huge bang for your buck if a vacation with entertainment is on your mind.

Called the Branson Grand Weekend Getaway, you get 3 Days and 2 Nights that include a stay at the Thousand Hills Golf Resort Branson (which includes full use of all property amenities), plus two tickets to the famed Dixie Stampede Show and two tickets to Silver Dollar City. What’s more, this package comes to you all for $429.

A bulk of the posts that are made on this blog feature some of the hottest vacation deals we currently offer. That being said, however, we’ll occasionally review another site if someone brings it to our attention. 

The State of Florida Hotels is a site that needed to be featured. At first glance the site is quite simplistic in layout. The most important attribute, however, is the ease of use and navigation. All too often the evolution of site design repeatedly has trended toward aesthetics. What’s more, always at the sacrifice to a quick moving and easy to navigate web site. State of Florida Hotels is straightforward but offers one of the most comprehensive levels of hotel room inventory on any web site on the net. If not more, definitely equal. The rates offered are equal, and the entire process to book is cut in half. State of Florida Hotels major cities in Florida such as Orlando Hotels and Miami Hotels, but also little known towns such as Ormond Beach Hotels. 

The weather is cold in mostly every section and region of the United States, a trip to Florida could be just what the doctor ordered.
