1. The Bahamas
Just a one and a half hour flight from Tampa, Florida, the Bahamas are a great destination if you’re yearning for a classic, tropical vacation. With over seven hundred islands, cays, and islets, there’s someplace for everyone. If you’re looking for somewhere with organized activities and events, try Atlantis Resort in Nassau. Big hotels not your thing? Green Turtle Cay, known for its stunning beaches, is a great spot for those who want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of tourists.

2. Reykjavik, Iceland
Looking for someplace a little more exotic? Iceland is the perfect vacation spot for the adventurer. The closest European country to the US, Iceland has stunning geographic features. From the famous Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa naturally heated by the earth’s thermal activity, to Gullfoss waterfall, there are endless wonders to be seen. Bonus? You might get lucky and catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

3. Vail, Colorado
Home of the third largest ski mountain in North America, Vail is just the place if you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to winter. Vail Ski Resort has trails for everyone: bowls, woods, and bunny hills. Skiing not your thing? Vail Village is one of the cutest places to shop around with its European alpine inspired architecture. Be sure to visit Les Delices De France and try their famous cookie tar tar (basically just raw cookie dough! Yum!)
