Summer vacation deals
This article recommends some warmer destinations as well as some ski resorts this summer - you save money going to a place like Scottsdale, Arizona or a ski resort in the summer. Just make sure the heat won't make you miserable.
One place mentioned in the article I link to above is the Sheraton Vistana Resort in Florida, which "features seven outdoor heated swimming pools, on-site car rental, free shuttles to all the Walt Disney theme parks, free wireless Internet access throughout, three arcade/game rooms, DVD rental library and restaurants."
Maybe that will appeal to some British travelers (or travellers for you Brits) who are advised to consider America instead of Europe this summer - the British currency is strong against the dollar but not so strong against the euro - this makes the US a better value.
Another interesting vacation deal is the "Escape! Earth Day" package from the Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort and Spa and the City of Palm Desert, California. During the month of April, the package starts at $399 a night and includes a stay in a standard guest room at the Desert Springs, two 50-minute organic date scrub spa treatments, use of spa/fitness facilities, breakfast buffet for two at the resort's Lake View restaurant (including an organic honey tasting) and a 'free' admission to Palm Desert's Living Desert (in exchange for turning in a used cell phone).
