climates they often see this as a golden opportunity to head off to one of the warm sunny locations. There are many that are popular for doing this such as some of the warm States found throughout the US, or more exotic destinations like the Bahamas and Jamaica.

Also. it is a time of year where there can be some great travel deals and accommodation sales put in place and it is worth checking these out.
