Tropical Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and although spending time at home with family and comfort food is the ultimate American tradition, the holiday is also a good time for a getaway. The editors at Sherman's Travel recently named the Top 10 Thanksgiving Destinations, with Aruba topping the list. With great weather year-round, the tropical island offers a nice escape from changing leaves and chilly fall weather. Aruba's beaches are said to be beautiful, with powdery sand and crystal-clear water. Amsterdam Manor Beach, listed on hotelbook.com, offers resort luxury just steps from the shore. Other top Thanksgiving destinations include: Brussels, Belgium; Kauai, Hawaii; and Vail, Colorado. For those locations, check out the Grand Hotel Waterloo, the Lae Nani Resort, and The Willows and Riva Ridge, respectively.
