The sun has returned from its winter hibernation. The flowers are blooming and life’s possibilities seem endless. What better time to grab your person of inspiration, and escape for a few days of well-deserved rest and relaxation. No, this should not be thought of in the same vein as your typical college Spring Fling. This should be an ode to romance, laughter and sophisticated fun. Below are five escapes that will give you a taste of the best things life has to offer: Island Hopping Across the Bahamas There are hundreds of undiscovered gems that make up the chain of islands known as the Bahamas. Majestic Holidays will introduce you to some of the most charming beaches and exclusive resorts, with their six to nine day packages. You will fly into Nassau, an easy trip from most East Coast cities. From there, you will be flown by charter to your destination. The prices begin at $ $1128.00, hotel and flight (meals not included).

Join a host of outstanding local and world musicians. This is part of a month long celebration which assures that there will be great sounds simmering from every corner of the island.

If you just want to relax and enjoy the simple pleasures like afternoon tea and leisurely golf games, then a weekend in Bermuda is the cure. Choose from a selection of accommodations from large hotels to cottages beside the ocean cliffs.
