Oh, February. So short, and yet so long. So gray, and yet so close to spring. There's Valentine's Day to either ignore or celebrate, and then also a glorious long weekend ahead.
Endless yet over quickly, February is full of contradictions. Yet it's also often full of something much more exciting: Warm weather getaways.
Whether the kids have time off from school or you're just taking an often put-off trip towards the equator, there's a likelihood that you have a resort destination planned. That's where I come in. Not on your trip, I mean; just as an assist to help get you there in style.
