G'day Fulton, Who's ready for a winter getaway? With the holidays over, and a lot of new destinations to check out, more than a few of us have a mad case of wanderlust this time of year. So whether you're looking for a quick getaway like Hawaii or a more permanant place to escape the Northern winter, we have more than a few ideas. Don't forget budget-friendly portions of SE Asia & South America with our list of 5 Countries to Visit for Under $500 -- after adding in airfare from your city, it's still usually a bundle cheaper than the typical North American and European trip. Looking to splurge – or dream – a little this year? Check out the 12 Most Amazing Pools in the World: Part II , an encore edition from one of our most popular articles in the last few years.
And a reminder to our local, Portland travel friends, we'll be hosting a First Thursday Travel Meetup @ Popina Swimwear next Thursday! So if you're going to be in town, come chat travel and enjoy a free drink!
Happy travels!
