Winter vacation
- Thread starter LUCKY 7
- Start date
Don’t forget when a contagious disease introduces itself to society like the scamdemic the cruise ship is the 1st place to be quarantined….
2025 has a planned release as per the WEF. Maybe book for 2026 when you get those cheap deals!

We will probably go to Huatulco in Mexico this winter. We haven't been there but others have said its great. I'd love to see Costa Rica at some point as well. Has anyone ever went to Columbia? A guy I work with tells me its fantastic, but he is from there!

My wife and I spent 14 days in Curaçao last winter. I would definitely go back. We stayed at the Sandals, was a bit pricey but worth it. Rented a car, toured the island and felt quite safe.
We did a couple of tours but on our own as I hate sitting in a bush for 8 hours at a time.
This was probably the most relaxing tour we did:

When we ran out of booze, we radioed them and they delivered.
We started the 8 hour tour (which was worth it I think compared to the 4 hour) with champagne and orange juice for mimosas that we brought from the resort.
The bbq was extra. You could either bring your own food or drink or you can get it from them. We opt to support them and the food was delicious.

Anyone got any tips on what is the best time to book vacations, or if the rewards credit cards are worth it? Like the WestJet RBC card?
Trying to talk the wife into going back to Europe next summer.

Westjet RBC card sucks... cause you have to fly with Westjet. Just choose a good cashback card and pay for vacations unless you have business that is running the hell out of a CC.

Only a few short years ago, it was way cheaper to book last minute. I would Walk in pay leaving in three days. But these days, if there’s only a few seats left on the plane rather than giving a deal for them, they jack the price because there’s only a few available. It’s actually cheaper to book ahead of time. Demand has risen and the game has changed.

We just booked Mazatlan for two weeks end of January. Committed to go and then found out after they chose Mazatlan in January brrr. I think it’s expensive $6500 for my wife and I. I’m a little down about the destination and the month. We could be wearing hoodies day and night in January. But I love these two so we’re gonna do it. I believe there’s 17 of us going.

No business card, just my personal card.
So far I've had good luck with WestJet, at least a lot better than Air Canada.
I've got a good cashback card, just wondering if the perks to the WestJet card were worth it.

when we booked for Playa Del Carmen last year, we opted for the $79 price drop insurance, through Air Canada Vacations, it included seat selection, and that price drop guarantee, we got $160 per person back around Christmas as there had been that much of a drop in the pricing, 1 of our seats paid for that insurance for both of us. We booked end of November for departure end of January last year.
Not sure if we'll go in 2025 but we're looking.

Doing some planning for February... my little guy is 7 and I think DisneyLand/Universal is our destination...
We're thinking of flying into Las Vegas, stay a night or two and visit family... drive through Arizona to visit some Snowbird parents and then over to LA for a few park days... fly home..
tips for staying in Anaheim? tips for one way car rentals?
After this its back to Hawaii... not many bikinis around LA in February...

I’d recommend Ayres Hotel Orange in Anaheim, very nice large rooms, close to the park. We stayed there last year for some angels vs jays baseball, it right across the road from Angel stadium. The visiting players stay there quit a bit as well. There is a mall and movie theatre across the street and lots of good restaurants nearby. Was under $200 cdn a night when we stayed in April. They have nice secure parking and good food right in the hotel restaurant as well.

The west jet card used to be great. Since the sellout, it is almost cheaper to just book a flight vs using the companion pass. The one good thing is the free luggage but I dumped the card and went with amex instead because we stopped travelling as much.
If you fly a lot, the points might add up and be worth it. It wasn't for us

Ya it’s not really worth it anymore for us since the sellout either, last time I went to book flights it was cheaper to book through Expedia flying untied then it was to use companion voucher with WestJet, screw it, my Avion platinum is a way better card for points anyway, gonna get rid of the WestJet elite
