I hate to admit it, but summer 2009 is officially over. Even though Labor Day has passed and you technically shouldn’t wear those white hot pants any more, the end of the season doesn’t have to be the end to your trips. While the air might be getting crisp here in the Northeast, it’s still warm and sunny at the Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

I’m in Las Vegas this week for work, and it’s hot! But for those looking to cool off away from the Strip and the crowded, casino pools, Lake Mead is a refreshing alternative.

Today’s mental vacation takes us to Whistler. Located in the Canadian Coastal Mountain range of British Columbia, Whistler is known as THE destination for winter sports. Like most ski resorts though, Whistler is equally desirable in the warm months.
