Discount Vacation Packages for Second Thought Destinations...

If one were to put a gun to another's head and force them to list out, say five destinations that are the quintessential definition and synonymous with vacation it would be safe to say that 9 times out of 10 that list would include Las Vegas, Hawaii, Miami, Orlando and Cancun. Of course other cities and/or destinations could come to mind, but the point is there is no doubt that a second tier of destinations is probably equally equated to vacation destination. Two such places in my mind include Niagara Falls and Bermuda. Of course in this time of economic downturn and financial uncertainty the topic of vacations is far from many peoples minds. For those of you that still want to find that silver lining and also see what kind of discounts are available for a getaway, I have a few for Niagara Falls and Bermuda.

First for Niagara Falls. In doing some research for quality places to recommend one such resort and package kept showing up. The Americana Conference Resort and Spa is a can't miss. First it's a top quality property. Second, it has it all !!! From well appointed rooms and suites, to a first class spa and finally a fantastic indoor water park called Waves. General package prices that include room, voucher for dinner and passes to the water park average around $250 to $300 a night. Special rates are available for certain dates.

The second spotlight destination, Bermuda is equally fantastic as an option. And just like Niagara Falls, some great vacation packages are available, especially in the face of a soft consumer market. After some careful searching, the best place I've seen for finding great packages to Bermuda is the official Bermuda Tourism site. The site offers a compilation of packages from various resorts and varying by premiums. The average package price I've seen for a four day trip per person is about $750. That's fantastic.

There are other great destinations that often are a second thought. Trust me, many offer hidden treasures at deep discounts to the best known destinations and are worth a look.
