Hotels…

All eyes will be on Washington, D.C., on January 20, 2009, as the 44th president is sworn into office. While that may seem a little while off; however, in the travel, it really isn’t. Therefore, if you are interested in attending, you need to plan now. Now, some packages may be out of reach, don’t despair, because you can find deals in other places.
Why not bring a little romance back for the holidays? Romantic Inns & Hotels has highlighted a few deals. Stay three nights at Virginia Beach’s Beach Spa Bed and Breakfast and receive a free Swedish body massage or upgrade to a hot stone massage. Package is good through December 21. The Romantic West Virginia Mountain Holiday package at Elkhorn Inn & Theatre in Northfork includes a two night stay with dinner and breakfast. This package is good through January 5, 2009.
