Escape the cold in the Bahamas

Sometimes the dark days of winter can be overwhelming, and you just need an escape. There are plenty of warm destinations to choose from, but the islands of the Bahamas lay within easy reach of much of the country, making them a good choice for a quick getaway. You can start your day by slaving away at your desk, and be sipping umbrella drinks on a white sandy beach by nightfall. Many airlines such as Spirit offer deals to the Bahamas.
