For my honeymoon, I packed two large suitcases. We were off to Paris. It was winter, and I thought I needed every coat in my closet. Nearly twelve years later, it's all about carry-on luggage, and I still don't wear everything I bring. That's progress, but it took years of practice.

Just an hour and a half away from New York City lies Mohonk Mountain Lodge, a retreat surrounded by thousands of acres of wilderness, and the chance to get away from it all. We decided to try it for part of winter break.

Icy sidewalks, cold winds and not enough daylight have kept many of us indoors for too long, resulting in a wicked case of cabin fever. It's time to get away for a few days for a change of scenery, and, ironically, the cure for cabin fever just may be a cabin.

The best thing about staying in a self-catered condo or lodge on the slopes is that you can accommodate your own appetites and bio-rhythms.

You don't even have to hit the slopes to enjoy them.

Find out where you can drink hot chocolate by an 85-foot stone fireplace, attend a 17th-century feast or go hiking in 70-degree weather.

I am more of a water skier than a snow-bunny and tend to gravitate toward sunny beaches rather than snowcapped peaks, but I always love exploring new travel destinations and adventures.

Because sometimes your backyard just won't cut it.

Contrary to popular belief, Chicago is a wonderful year-round destination. Yes, Chicago's nickname is "The Windy City," which conjures up images of being blown down city streets by an icy wind off of Lake Michigan.

Skiing is one of our favorite winter activity: There's just something about getting out in the fresh air and fresh powder that does a body good.

So, where are the locals going in Tallinn when it's colder and there's a (high) chance of snow? They warm up with coffee or by playing outside. At Lauluväljak you can rent snowtubes by the half hour to slide down the slopes!

The best places to find sun during these cold, dreary months.

When I finally arrived in the Catskills I expected Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog, and an overkill of free love and recreational psychotropics. Instead I found an unexampled rebellious spirit that stretches back to the 18th century, and is a connective tissue between Woodstock and the Borscht Belt, and a life-force that upholds today.

Perhaps it's my Vermont blood, but a little inclement weather has never been a deterrent to adventure. In fact, it virtually boils when wind, snow and ice become excuses for inaction, especially when it comes to travel. Cold many contract the bones, but it expands horizons.

I trundle into town beneath a white flurry, watching the falling flakes reflected in the lake. Despite the tag, the placid body of water next to town is not Lake Placid -- it's Mirror Lake. The namesake is down the road, a bit off the beaten track.

If your no. 1 New Year's resolution is to find an affordable family vacation, congratulate yourself as you tick it off your list.

With the winter holidays upon us, there's no doubt that families will be packing up and heading out to visit one of the most iconic vacation destinations in the country: Walt Disney World. And this year, they'll have a whole lot more to experience with the recent opening of the new Fantasyland, the largest expansion ever in the Magic Kingdom's history.
