Some of us are still shoveling snow, but soon it will be time for spring or summer vacation. The time to think about it is now, before all the slots are gone.
If you were injured in combat, Vacations for Warriors can hook you up with a whole vacation package. It uses donated money, hotel points, timeshares and more. Go online to www.vacationsforwarriors.org and scroll down for the eligibility qualifications and selection process. You’ll need to fill out the application, but if you’re chosen, you can have a great vacation. If in doubt, check the Gallery.
If you’re a wounded warrior and can get yourself and your family to Orlando, Fla., the Wounded Warrior Family Support group will provide you six nights (free) at Bahama Bay Resort. You’ll get passes to Sea World, LegoLand and more. Website photos show a pretty posh place, with pool, fitness, spa, salon, maid service, kids’ game room and much more. There’s a three- to four-month advance notice requirement, so don’t delay. Go online to www.wwfs.org.
Veterans Holidays offers fancy condos for only $50 a night on a weekly basis ($349). Pick from 100 countries, and stay Space-A (space available). To be eligible, sign up for a free membership at www.veteransholidays.com. Click on the menu and look through the options. For more perks, consider the premium membership, which gets you short-stay options, last-minute options and more. That upgraded membership will set you back $119 a year, however.
Check Military Cruise Deals (www.militarycruisedeals.com), owned by a military family, for vacation deals. They claim to beat prices offered by the big online travel sites.
Veterans Freedom Retreat, www.veteransfreedomretreat.org, offers calming PTSD retreats. For retreats for women, caregivers, kids, PTSD and more in Massachusetts, see Project New Hope, www.projectnewhopema.org.
Again, don’t delay if you want to make plans.
