Plus, with more kids and families busy with going back to school, you will get the benefit of fewer crowds, lines, and standing room only (and doing all that in 100-degree heat.) Check out these great fall getaways and abflug booking nowChill out in San DiegoLike the beach? Like shopping? Like delicious food? Then take a trip to San Diego where there is always a laid-back summer vibe. Its a quick plane ride from Los Angeles but it is worth it if you are coming from a fspeciesher destination. You can start your trip with a nice, relaxing walk along Waterfront Park at Embarcadero and then consider the Brothel, Bites and Booze Tour if youre a foodie or drinker . You could also take a whale watching Hornblower Cruise and then wrap up the trip with a climb up the California Tower which was only reopened a few years ago after being closed for 80 years. It is 125 steps but you will get some stunning views at the top. And dont forget the famous San Diego ZooAs for where to stay there is the newly openedInterContinental San Diego which is located on the historic grounds of Lane Field the former baseball stadium of the San Diego Padres from 1936 through 1957. It is just steps away from the Embarcadero, which docks both the famed USS Midway and Maritime Museum of San Diego. Plus you will be near all of the downtown hot spots, including Little Italy, the San Diego Convention Center, Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, and more.Glamping in the CatskillsThe Catskills are back, in case you hadnt heard. This was the happening spot for East Coasters, especially New Yorkers, from the 1900s to the 1970s, but then for the last 30 years, it has been in a ru t. However, now The Catskills is experiencing an economic and cultural Renaissance (thanks in large part to young New Yorkers getting sick of city life and costs.)Theres a sense of discovery in visiting this area. Its out of the way. And its not the Hamptons, lined with stores you see on Fifth Avenue, Mike Cioffi, a Brooklyn native and owner of the Phoenicia Diner, which he bought and reopened in 2012, told CNN. And if you are ambitious enough you can just make it a day trip for a nice hike to see waterfalls or visit a funky brewery like West Kill Brewing (try the Doodlebug Pilsner or the Earn Your Keep if you want something a bit more hoppy.)If you can stay for a night there are plenty of newly renovated boutique hotels like the Eastwind Hotel Bar. Originallya bunkhouse for hunters, fly fisherman and other outdoor enthusiasts dating back to the 1920s the hotel is now an Instagrammers dream with its funky decor as well as a sauna,barrel hot tub, fire pit and the cute town of Windha m to explore.
