Thoughts of tropical breezes

As I scraped ice & snow of the windshield today my thoughts drifted to the warm sunlit palm tree lined beaches of Mexico and the Caribbean and “All-inclusive (AI) vacation packages”. AI getaway packages include roundtrip air transportation, all-inclusive hotel accommodations, resort transfers and more! The all-inclusive resort concept has become the most popular vacation trend over the past several years, and many airlines and tour operators offers some of the best all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, the Caribbean and Costa Rica at prices everyone will appreciate.

You’ll find value, convenience and comfort knowing that your all-inclusive vacation package price generally includes almost everything up front including all meals and snacks, all beverages including domestic alcoholic drinks (some resorts include premium brands!), daytime activities and nighttime entertainment …plus all hotel taxes and gratuities!

In these sea, sun and sand destinations you’ll find outstanding all-inclusive resorts suitable for every taste and budget…from value-priced, comfortable, casual hotels catering to families on a budget, to elegant 5-star luxury resorts featuring award-winning restaurants and outstanding world-class accommodations and facilities and impeccable service standards.

Check with your favorite travel agent and let them shop for you or do your own shopping at applevacations.com or vacationexpress.com, tour operators that offer special departures from Cincinnati or Columbus. Another place to search for vacation getaways in on the major airline websites. More on this in a later piece.
