“It’s The Time of the Season. . . .”

By Jane Goodwin | February 23, 2007

Psssst, hey!  We don’t have to wait ’till the kids are out of school in June, to plan our vacations any more!

Once the schools let out, it’s the ‘Season’ in most vacation-type spots.  During the “Season,” rates are high.

However.

When it’s off-season, the rates are lower, MUCH lower.  Plus, there aren’t any little kids running around during the day.

Off-season rates can run as much as half what the ’season’ rates are.  Why not save a little money, so you can spend a little more money, and maybe stay a little longer?

A typical ’season’ begins around the middle of May, and ends the weekend before Labor Day.  This varies a little, of course, according to the times and customs of the location, but ordinarily, this is a pretty good approximation.

If you’re taking the grandkids along with you, of course, you’ll have to wait for the official ’season’ to take them with you.  But if you’re going with other adults, your clocks and your calendars and your agendas are wide open.

It’s still a good idea to reserve your spot well in advance, though; there are a lot of us independent types out there these days!

Lunch in a nice restaurant, with nobody screaming and kicking the back of your chair?

Let’s do it.
