It's not too late to plan a quick summer getaway. The July issue of Travel + Leisure magazine suggests 15 destinations:
Bermuda, a short flight from Boston, Philadelphia, or New York (JetBlue flies to Bermuda from JFK).
Puerto Rico, where you can use San Juan as a base for day trips to the nearby Camuy Caves or El Yunque rain forest.
Barrier Islands, Ga., including St. Simons, Jekyll and Cumberland islands, with pristine and uncrowded beaches.
Las Vegas, where you can stay off the strip and have access to a casino too at the new Red Rock resort.
Santa Ynez Valley, Calif., where you can ride, fish and golf at Alisal, a working ranch.
Hana, Hawaii, where the laid-back, secluded Hawaiian vacation lives on, reachable by flying from Maui's main airport, Kahului.
Montreal, where you'll find old-world cobblestone streets as well as contemporary architecture, design and cuisine.
Banff, Alberta, where you can enjoy wintry sights in mid-summer at Jasper National Park's Columbia Ice Fields.
Los Cabos, Mexico, where you can surf, snorkel and enjoy the beach.
Mexico City, where the Condesa district will remind you of Soho, with cafes, night life and a trendy hotel - Condesa DF - with a rooftop bar.
Rio de Janeiro, where it's winter in July but temperatures are still in the 70s.
Buenos Aires, where you can learn to tango at the International School for Dance and Art.
Paris, where you can enjoy the charmed life depicted in ''Amelie'' in the Goutte d'Or neighborhood, with a stay at the Kube Rooms & Bars.
Parma, Italy, known for prosciutto and cheese and a destination for bargain-hunting fashionistas.
Barcelona, where you can dine at midnight and dance all night in the El Born district. |
