Southern Byways

As the official end of summer approaches, doesn’t mean the travel deals have to end. Here are a few for fall travel.

• The Casa Marina Hotel and Restaurant in Jacksonville Beach, Fla., is offering a “FALL in Love” package that is good for two night, Sunday - Thursday, September 2 - November 26. The package includes a bottle of champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries upon arrival, and a continental beach breakfast for two on the verandah.

• Who doesn’t like to indulge on vacation? Now you can in a more economical way at Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort. The property is offering their Paradise Deliciously Escape, which allows you the opportunity to sample dishes at their five restaurants. The package includes a choice between breakfast or lunch for two, and dinner for two. The offer is good through December 19.

• Since we are on the subject of food, don’t overlook New Orleans Marriott at the Convention Center’s “Escape! Dining Package in the Big Easy.” Good through November 19, the package requires a minimum two-night stay. You receive a $50 dining credit that can be used for either room service or at the hotel’s restaurant, Wolfe’s in the Warehouse.

• If you have plans to visit Atlanta, Ga., soon, be sure to check out the Atlanta CVB site for the latest information on hotel packages available through the metro area.
