Fun Places To Go



From Teresa Plowright, your Guide to Family Vacations
If you're in the hectic last days of Christmas preparation, take a calming moment to look at two beautiful photos of Christmas "farolito" candles and other holiday lights in Santa Fe, and perhaps think about spending next holiday season in this beautiful town...

Christmas in Santa Fe
Santa Fe is always known as a strikingly photogenic place, thanks to its adobe architecture. But Christmas makes the place even more picturesque, as thousands of "farolitos" light up the night: these little candles are set in sand inside paper bags, and line sidewalks, steps, and even roofs in Santa Fe. New Mexico has a unique mix of Anglo, Hispanic, and Native American traditions, and families will find many Christmas celebrations to enjoy.

Last Minute Travel Gift
Yes, some of us are still buying Christmas gifts...This nifty little "Scrabble Flash" game is portable and quick to play, and uses electronically-enhanced tiles to form words and keep track of scores. Suggested age is eight and up, but the tiles are fun to handle and younger kids may like playing around with them.

January and February Ideas
At the moment, it may be hard to see beyond your upcoming family events of December and the Holiday Season. But January and February will soon be here, and offer some excellent travel opportunities before the crowded weeks of Spring Break.

Farelock: More Fees, Less Stress, When Buying Flights?
Shopping online for airlines is a stressful procedure: if you find a good airfare, but aren't quite ready to purchase, there's a risk of losing both the seat and the good price. Enter Farelock, a new purchasing option that -- for a fee-- lets a customer hold a reservation and lock in a ticket price for up to seven days.
