St. Petersburg, Fl - January, $1034

I know we're still enjoying August heat, but you know the winter will come. You know January will leave you asking "why? Why do we live on the prairies?"

You may wish to book now, save yourself some money and ensure you have something to look forward to this winter. If you're just starting to explore the globe, or looking for a safe, sunny, domestic destination, Florida is an excellent choice.

I spied this bargain on redtag.ca but you can book through Sunwing Vacations, www.selloffvacations.com or ANY local travel agent.  St. Petersburg is on the gulf side of Florida. It has a laid back feel and has shops and beaches and boardwalks to explore.

Start your reading on St. Petersburg Florida, here.

This particular Sunwing Vacation includes a direct, charter flight, and 7 nights accommodations at a 4.5 star hotel. It's not an all-inclusive package, but that's never stopped me. Why pay for mass-produced buffet food and alcohol of questionable quality?

Any package that includes air, taxes and deluxe accommodation for 7 nights, about $1000 is a good deal. While I personally prefer to fly Westjet, Delta, or Air Canada (in that order) thousands of satisfied Canadians get on & off Sunwing planes each day.

The Grand Plaza Hotel is directly on the beach. A short stroll from many activities and restaurants. Be sure to read the latest Trip Advisor reviews before you book. Always see what real travellers are saying.

Yes, there are always going to be bargains in Florida. It's a tourist mecca. It is MORE common to find deals in the child-friendly Orlando area. Less common to see Tampa/St. Pete bargains or destinations on the Gulf side.

Another Florida destination, now served by Westjet Airlines is the Fort Myers area. It's an gorgeous and highly recommended area which I hope to visit myself soon.
