to take advantage of the upcoming holiday but you're not sure where to go. the features editor has six great vacations. even you are amazed. let's get started. first of all you want us to go to
paradise island
in the bahamas.
>>
who doesn't want to go to
paradise island
? they're offering a deal that is too good to pass up. $75 a night for four nights. and kids stay for free under 11.
>>
wow.
>>
honestly --
>>
can i just send my kids?
>>
if you sent your kids, they would have a great time. there's 140 giant
water park
-- acre
water park
.
>>
huge aquarium.
>>
you can swim with
sea lions
, with dolphins. there's a lot to do there and it's so affordable and you can do it last minute.
>>
airfare?
>>
it's reasonable, around $400. i feel it's doable.
>>
to ft. lauderdale,
florida
.
>>
well, let's go to ft. lauderdale,
florida
.
>>
let's do that.
>>
it's fantastic and it's great --
>>
easier airport to fly into.
>>
exactly. why steal my thunder?
>>
i'm sorry.
>>
so the great thing is there are these low cost carriers, it's very accessible and right on the beach where they're offering a deal from $169 a nig night. children under 18 can stay for free and there's so much fun stuff to do in
florida
and there's a little bit of risk of weather right now anywhere you go down in
florida
or in the caribbean. again, a quick getaway, it's a good one.
>>
to our nation's capital which is great with kids, educational and fun.
>>
well, i think what's great about d.c. is when kids go back to school, what i do on
summer vacation
, how school to say i went to the spy museum or the great
air and space museum
? there's lots of great stuff to see. where do you stay? fairmont washington, d.c., is having a deal for $299 including two kids so you can stay there overnight.
a great deal. :
now do you have to bring two kids or do you have to get one in case you only have one kid?
>>
take me. i'm available for rent over
labor day
. i'm short.
>>
oh, my.
>>
it's a family show, al.
>>
i know. i'm not sure whose family. now let's move on to the mountains.
>>
so we're moving to keystone, colorado. now this is about
90 miles
west of denver. you think about
ski resorts
in the summertime they're fantastic. you love atv riding. they have tv riding, bungee jumping and $99 a night at the ski stone resort.
>>
amazing.
>>
and we made sure all of these are available for
labor day
so it's not like we're telling you things you cannot book right now.
>>
let's head out to
san diego
, california. i love
san diego
.
>>
what's not to love? they have 248
sunny days
a year. they have 33 beaches. plus the
san diego zoo
. i'm obsessed with their panda cam because they have the gorgeous pandas on camera. what better way is to see them. one of their pandas celebrated the one-year birthday. i know too much about the pandas, i realize. now if your kids are into baseball, there is the omni
san diego
that is connected to the petco
baseball stadium
, so you can literally go see the local team on
labor day
they're having a home game.
>>
and, guess what --
>>
what?
>>
they adibi panda to their lineup. and now let's head to a
national park
,
acadia national park
.
>>
i just got back from maine a couple of days ago and it is a beautiful time of year up there and acadia is one of the most magnificent places you can go in this country on
mount desert
. what's great about camping there the
sea wall
camp site
reserves half of their camp sites for people on a first come, first served basis so you don't have to make advanced reservations and you can stay there for as little as $20 a night.
>>
that's pretty cool. all right. thank you so much. happy
labor day
.
>>
to you, too.
