Thanksgiving's a major holiday in the US, and eating turkey dinner isn't the only tradition: several cities stage a giant parade. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City is the most iconic, famous for its giant character balloons. Needless to say, it's hard to find a good viewing spot along the parade route in Manhattan. Check out a package that includes a top place to view...

Meanwhile, in Orlando: Universal Orlando has a Holiday Getaway Package that includes hotel and tix, early park admission, special breakfast... could be a good way to visit these two excellent theme parks, which have some super events for the Holiday Season (--Grinchmas, for instance--) included with regular park admission.

Family Travel Idea: Magic of Lanterns in Montreal
October's become such a great month for travel, thanks to the myriad Halloween events now offered at every family attraction from zoos to theme parks to tourist trains. If you've wanted to visit the city of Montreal, think about a getaway next October: visitors to the vast Botanical Gardens can enjoy fall foliage and autumn weather, plus Halloween events, and the "Magic of Lanterns"- colorful displays of lit boats and figures, on a pond in the Chinese Garden area.

That's all, for this week: Happy Halloween, this weekend!
