For many, Thanksgiving means family, food, and watching football. For me, Thanksgiving means being thankful that I get to travel and explore. Every year, instead of shopping, cooking, and preparing a Thanksgiving feast, I plan a family getaway. This year, I plan to have a stress-free holiday travel experience.
Holiday Getaways: Your Guide to a Stress-Free Holiday Travel Experience
Go West For Some Ski and See Fun
I plan on heading west this holiday season, well northwest for me, or is it Southwest? Either way, I’m heading west, and there is so much to do in the Southwest United States. I’m working with Southwest Adventure Tours to plan some amazing getaways like their Ski and See trip, and their Mighty 5 National Parks Tour. They also offer day trips and many other excursions west of the Mississippi. Utah has so much to offer, from the many ski resorts in upper Utah to the Mighty 5 National Parks in lower Utah. It’s just a quick flight into Salt Lake City, and you will have a stress-free holiday travel experience.

Spending The Holiday Season With Family
You know I love my road trips, but I’ve started flying, and I’m realizing it’s a better way to travel when you want to take a quick getaway.
Talk your family members into meeting you at the destination so you can all be together. I have a very small immediate family and we try to meet up at a destination a couple of times a year. It is so important to make the time to see family, and I will be stopping in Colorado for Thanksgiving dinner with my mom. My mom’s pumpkin pie is calling my name, and I can’t wait to get back to the mountains.

Southwest Adventure Tours
Thanksgiving travel may seem stressful to some, but if you do it right, and hire a company to help you plan it, you too can have a stress-free Thanksgiving travel experience. Let Southwest Adventure Tours help you plan your stress-free holiday travel, by creating the perfect Ski & See getaway. SWAT will handle everything from hotel reservations, rental car booking, Ski Super Pass, and even add some of their amazing day trips and historic downtown walking tours. All you will have to do is book flights, and decide what adventures you want to take when you arrive in Salt Lake City. Not only will you have a good time with your family, but you will enjoy an amazing holiday trip. Enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving day by booking your Thanksgiving meal at a local restaurant in the downtown area. You can also order your holiday meal and enjoy it with your family at your hotel.
Utah Has A Lot To Offer
After a day skiing at one of four ski resorts on the Super Ski Pass, you can head back to your hotel in Salt Lake City for some relaxation. Book a day tour to Bonneville Salt Flats, or maybe a Dark Skies tour to Antelope Island. Enjoy the evenings strolling around Salt Lake City. Take a day tour to learn about the culturally diverse downtown of Salt Lake City, UT. It’s the perfect way to ski and see Utah while leaving the stress at home.
Stay Longer and Enjoy More
If you have longer than the Thanksgiving Weekend, you can enjoy more of the state of Utah. It offers everything from historic sites, ski resorts, and 5 National Parks. Don’t worry if you can’t make it for the Thanksgiving Holiday. You can book other winter travel dates and enjoy the Ski and See package. It’s one of the best deals around.
Best Laid Travel Plans
Planning ahead is always the best idea, but being spontaneous is also great. They say the busiest days for flying are right before a holiday. My tip: try to leave on off-peak days or a couple of days before the holiday to make for a stress-free holiday travel experience. If you do find yourself in a crowded airport, or a traffic nightmare, just take a breath, relax, and enjoy the moment.
Your family will have a great time on their Thanksgiving getaway. So book now, and leave the leg work to Southwest Adventure Tours.
