it pays to discover.

this morning on "today's countdown to christmas," last-might be travel deals. thanks to our friends at "travel & leisure" magazine, they have great deals. can you still get stuff? is stuff all booked up?
>>
no, it isn't, and it's lucky that i'm here because i have great deals to share with you.
>>
always good to have you here. first of all, you're taking us to
jackson hole
rock, wyoming?
>>
you have to go to jackson if you're a skier and there is the
snake river
lodge and spa and they're making it so easy to stay there. five-night deal for $180 a night, including a $150 dining credit, and what i love is this hotel is right at the base of the mountain. so, you're in, you're out.
>>
what about airfare?
>>
what they're doing is fantastic. actually, jackson is doing a two for two deal. you buy two tickets and get two free. you have to book it through them, though.
>>
cool. let's hit the beach now. "today" show exclusive deal on the
turks and caicos
?
>>
yes, indeed. because we love the "today" show viewers, we made a deal with this brand new hotel opening in february, called the veranda. i love the
turks and caicos
. what's not to love about white sand beaches? this place is $250, all inclusive, all of your meals, all of your booze, all
top shelf
, if you're that kind of person --
>>
if our director goes, they're going to go out of business.
>>
and all kids programs. i don't recommend doing those two things together.
>>
yeah.
>>
it's right on the beach in provo.
>>
wow. very cool. let's stay on the beach, but in this country, miami. you've got a deal at the palms hotel.
>>
the palms hotel is fantastic, also right on the beach. $190 a night to stay there, and they're throwing in a couples massage. they have a 5,000-square-
foot spa
, so you can do a lot of damage there.
>>
and once you get there, again, miami, very popular spot. what about airfare?
>>
it's actually, it's better to fly to those cities who have lots of different routes going to them, but right now airfare's going to be tough. but what's great about this deal is it isn't, so you don't have to do it right, right now.
>>
now, if you want to go to a city, the hotels have the "baby it's cold outside" package. is this for all their cities?
>>
all
north american
"w"s. what's great right now is a lot of people might say, i can't go on a full trip, but it doesn't mean you can't splurge a little bit. the latest one is for the chicago property and the
city center
chicago. $189 a night, including your stay, an in-room movie and breakfast in bed the next morning and a couple drinks, too.
>>
so, this is maybe an extended staycation, if you don't want to get on a plane.
>>
i'm not a fan of the staycation word. i think there are opportunities to relax a bit and enjoy yourself. whether it's closer to home or further away, there's a lot of alternatives.
>>
then cruises. a
cruise line
. you say you can cruise to mexico. this cannot be correct. you can cruise to mexico for under $100?
>>
you can -- for a seven-day cruise on
holland america
, which is rated by "travel & leisure" readers as one of the top ten best large
cruise lines
-- you can go for $599 for the whole week.
>>
where would you be leaving from?
>>
it goes from
san diego
and you go across the
mexican riviera
, porto, under $100 a night.
>>
that is amazing. happy holidays.
>>
thank you to you, too.

coming up, two lucky ladies
