Summer vacations are the best and the deals now are better than ever! So put the wedding planning on hold for a bit (I promise, your fiance will thank you) and hit the road.
If you're in the market for a cruise bargain or cheap hotel rooms, book them fast. Need some inspiration?
Seabourn Cruises, Crystal Cruises and Silversea Cruises still have some amazing summer deals left (like 65% off certain dates!).
Grab your girlfriends and head down to Miami for a girl's getaway. You'll find cheap hotel rooms, great beaches, restaurants galore and miles of shopping.
Even NYC is on sale right now! The famed Waldorf-Astoria has rooms for under $200 and if you come soon you can take advantage of our NYC Restaurant Week. And don't forget the shopping...Topshop, Kleinfelds, and Sephora, oh my.
Europe is a great deal now so why not grab your guy and head over the pond for a little pre-honeymoon getaway? London and Paris have slew of cheap hotel rooms (yes, we're talking under $100) available with the the money you'll save you can do a little shopping!
Bon voyage!!

Recessionista Summer Getaway! Life's a Beach Jet Blue Sale!
If I have a choice, I'll always pick a Jet Blue flight. I love that they feed me snacks and entertain me with TV and movies making even a long trip seem quick. (Note: We flew to St. Martin last week and I was disappointed to learn that only the movies work once you get an hour away from JFK. What's up with that Jet Blue???)
Jet Blue is known for their amazing sales and they've got a great Life's a Beach Sale going on now that is offering up some great fares ($29 - $139 each way!) to Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. There are some amazing hotel deals right now so be sure to book a summer getaway if you haven't already.
Need a bachelor or bachelorette trip, mini-moon or honeymoon? Hurry up, you have to book by Friday and travel between July 14 and October 6.

Sedona, AZ: A great warm weather destination wedding and honeymoon hotspot awaits.....
If you're looking for a scenic, easy to reach, warm-weather locale with friendly locals, Southwest charm, hotels galore and great food, look no further than Sedona, Arizona. In addition to offering up red mountain views at every turn, Sedona has an array of sights and attractions sure to please every wedding guest or honeymooner.
The Globetrotting Groom and I visited last month and had a fabulous trip! Sedona is about 90 minutes north of Phoenix and yes, Jet Blue's TV's made our 5 hour flight from NYC a breeze. You'll know you're close when the views suddenly turn from dusty desert to technicolor reds and pinks. It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz when it goes from black and white to color. It's really amazing.
I'll be writing more about hotspots for destination weddings but here are some things you'll want to check out if you're planning a Sedona honeymoon, girl's getaway or destination wedding.
- Sedona is super easy to get around and there are free shuttles if you don't want to rent a car. Get your bearings on a Sedona Trolly tour or if you're feeling more adventurous, try one of the many Pink Jeep Tours.
- Get out and explore Red Rock Country's state parks, hidden canyons, red rock trails and famed vortexes. Hikers, mountain bikers, campers will be in heaven but for those who want a relaxing vacation (like me) there are plenty of scenic drives, sunsets, star gazing shows and activities like exploring Indian ruins and petroglyphs at Palatki (this was seriously cool).
- You're on vacation so kick back with some great food and drinks! For Mexican, we loved the Elote Cafe and Javelina Cantina. For a gorgeous creekside backdrop with top-notch food and service, visit L'Auberge de Sedona. For mountain backdrops and fine dining, try Hundred Rox at Amara. For Italian bistro dining, check out Joey Bistro. For contemporary fare and happy hour action, visit Reds at Sedona Rouge. There are also local ice cream parlors and wineries so be sure to explore.
- No vacation is complete without shopping and Sedona shopping packs a punch. There are so many art galleries and shops where you'll find everything from jewelry, glass sculptures, pottery, photography, artwork, textiles, home decor, clothing and gifts galore. The Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, Hillside Sedona and "Uptown" boutiques were my favorites.
Of course, you'll also find great spas, golf, kid-friendly spots and nearby Grand Canyon activities making it a sure to please spot for all. Travel promotions abound so be sure to check out the latest travel deals and discounts.
And, stay tuned for the scoop on Sedona destination weddings...

New York, New York - The ultimate Gossip Girl's getaway!
If you're thinking of a bachelorette weekend or girl's getaway in New York City, I think May and June are the best months to visit! Spring has sprung, the crowds aren't so bad, the roof-top bars are open and the restaurants open up their sidewalk seating! I know it sounds crazy to dine al fresco with traffic zipping by but we love it...
If you're looking for a fun girl's only afternoon activity, look no further than the new Gossip Girl Sites Tour from On Location Tours. Guys are allowed of course, I just can't think of any who would come without a big bribe.
The 3.5 hour bus tour costs $40 and starts near the New York Palace Hotel. Your trip takes you around to 40 NYC haunts including Blair Waldorf's home, the mansion that was the site of the Bass/Van der Woodsen wedding, the restaurant where Dan and Serena had their second date and also includes a stop at Henri Bendel where Blair and Serena shop. You'll stop for photos along the way and you'll also be "spotted" by the anonymous Gossip Girl blogger.
If you need more TV trivia, On Location also offers its Sex and the City hotspots tour and Sopranos sites in New York and New Jersey.
