I had this wild & wacky idea this morning when I found out that Hollywood will pretty much be shutting down from December 21-January 7th (!!!). We’re already going to be on the east coast, so why not take off for Europe for a few days before coming back to LaLaland? I am rarely never spontaneous with a European holiday, so whether or not I pull this off remains to be seen. But, it’s making me positively glow to think about the possibilities! Often the best part of travel is the daydreaming and planning, dontcha think? Here are some favorite “deals” I’ve found so far. Care to join me in the search?

A chateau in Paris? What could be better? The Saint James on sale Jetsetter on 12/12.

Well, a “townhouse” in London of course. The Royal Park winter promotion is £189/night for a double room including breakfast.

Or I could live out my fantasy of a holiday in the English countryside. The Cotswolds House Hotel & Spa at 20% off thru Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Or perhaps hole up in an Irish castle. Lough Eske Castle offering 3 night for the price of 2.

Or delight in a tale of two cities…magical Verona and Firenze, Italy. Though maybe not the best “deal” out there, this offer from the Salviatino Collection certainly looks delightful.
