We’re right in the middle of Winter and all I can do is dream about my next warm weather getaway. I was spoiled rotten living in Florida. I didn’t have to go anywhere to get a beach day in January or February, I was already there! I’m sure I’m not the only Northern gal thinking this way and I’ve done some research for you so you don’t have to. There are oodles of direct-flight destinations for you to choose from.
- Bermuda (JFK to BDA): For being an international destination, this spot couldn’t be easier to get to. Just a quick 2 1/2 hours separates you from this gorgeous island. David and I will be heading here for a long weekend in less than a month. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to share all of the details.
- Palm Beach (EWR or JFK to PBI): Who said beach vacations have to be out of the US? My love for Palm Beach has been no secret since I spent a weekend there with my girlfriends (posted here). It’s a quiet little town that will give you the exact kind of R&R you’re looking for.
- Tulum (JFK to CUN): Okay, so this spot requires a flight to Cancun and a two hour drive down the coast, but I just had to include it on my list. This Mexican town on the Gulf Coast seems like a bohemian dream and I talk about going there at least once a month!
- Puerto Rico (JFK to SJU): Another sunny destination that (surprisingly) doesn’t require a passport. Because Puerto Rico is a US Commonwealth, you get all the perks of the Caribbean without having to go through customs. David and I went on a trip here a few years ago and we can’t wait to go back.
- Aruba (JFK or EWR to AUA): I personally have never been to Aruba, but many of my co-workers go every year, so it must be good! Just the sound of Aruba sounds like the prime example for a beach getaway. Que The Beach Boys.
- Miami (LGA, EWR, or JFK to MIA): If you want one more domestic vacation that has a little bit more of the party scene, Miami may be the choice for you. Being another major US city, there are multiple, inexpensive flights daily from all three of the local airports.
- Barbados (JFK to BGI): Honestly, is there anywhere Jet Blue doesn’t fly? When planning our February trip, Barbados the number two favorite. The only issue I had was that the flight was a little too long for a long weekend. If you have the chance for a longer trip, this may be the destination for you.
Just talking about all of these vacation spots is giving me major wanderlust. I’m always open to adding more places to my travel bucket list. If you have any other recommendations, be sure to leave a comment below and happy traveling!
