3 Day Getaway ?
 
We're trying to plan a romantic weekend getaway --any suggestions ? (Caveat -- been to St.Maarten already)

Depends on where you are flying from as you will want to keep the flight time to a minimum in orer to get the most of your 3 days. Call Travel Center at 1-800-228-1502 and they will be able to help you.

How about somewhere like Nassau, Bahamas, either Atlantis or if you're looking for something more secluded, Compass Point?

Marcy Jul 17th, 2001 07:50 AM

Yeah, the flight time is a bit problematice (we're coming from NYC). The Ladera resort on St. Lucia looks fab, but flying 5 hrs there and 5 hrs back sort of defeats the purpose. Bermuda may be an option.

Definitely Bermuda. Especially if you are planning to go before it cools off in October. Easy, quick flight!

Marcy I would second Compas Point on Nassau. There is an early am flight on Delta, from LaGuardia, something like 7am and you will be on the beach before noon. <BR> <BR>Have a great time.
