TIMED TRAVEL

People often ask me how I get to jet set so often? My answer to them is always the same...I plan most of my trips during "Shoulder Season" (jet setting between peak and off seasons). The weather is good, the crowds are much smaller and the prices are at least 30% lower! Here's some Jet Set Smart travel ideas for Shoulder Season.

LOVE VEGAS

Another great idea for a chocolate themed getaway for Valentine's Day is to head to Las Vegas and go to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Cactus Gardens. Located only fifteen minutes away from the Vegas Strip, this place is heaven-on-earth for chocolate lovers.Get to see how chocolate is made, sample all different kinds of sweet treats, wander through their beautiful cactus gardens, and do it all for free! (Except for whatever chocolate you eat :)Ethel M Chocolate Factory's Cactus Gardens is 3-acres big. So grab your honey, head to Vegas, check out their chocolate heaven, pick up some pieces of chocolate and a hot cocoa, and walk hand in hand through the gardens...I think that combo turns Las Vegas into Love Vegas if you ask me!
