A Traveling Mom's Tips for Trips

Mother’s Day Getaways

Mom spends so much energy taking care of the people she loves that the one person she often neglects is herself.

Southwest Airlines wants to help you take care of her this Mother’s Day by sending Mom to some special places with great packages. You can travel with Mom for the holiday weekend or give her the gift of travel to enjoy later. You can even give Mom a Southwestgiftcard™ so all she has to do is pick the place she wants to go and the rest will already be taken care of. Here are a few of my favorite ideas to inspire you to give the moms in your life the gift of a getaway:

Got an active Mom who loves adventure? If so, The Hyatt Huntington Beach Resort and Spa may be a perfect place for her. Southwest can deliver Mom to this ocean front resort through both Orange County and LAX airports and she can experience the “Nose to Toes” Surf and Spa Package complete with a surf lesson, followed by a massage with accommodations at this spectacular hotel located in “Surf City USA”. If spa is more her thing without the surf, let Southwest wing her to Ft. Myers, FL. There she can escape to Naples, FL where she can be pampered with the “Honor Thy Mother” package at the Naples Bay Resort. Spoil mom at the 20-acre luxury resort and marina with a two-night package with a series of spa treatments, a poolside cabana, yoga classes, and relaxation!

I enjoy relaxing by myself, but a getaway with my girlfriends is one of my favorite ways to travel. I know loads of moms who would welcome the opportunity to receive a vacation with their friends, and Southwest Airlines can get all of them to these great places.

Fly into Philadelphia where Mom and her friends can head to Atlantic City for some pampering, nightlife, and shopping with elegant spas such as The Red Door Spa at Harrahs or the Spa Toccare at Borgata. If your moms are more outdoorsy, send them from Philly to the Poconos for a “Moms In the Mountains Getaway” at the beautiful Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort where they can enjoy a spa package, accommodations, daily breakfast, and a discount shopping book to The Crossings Premium Outlets. For high-end shoppers, fly Mom into West Palm Beach, Florida to “Feel Like a Million” in Palm Beach County at the historic Colony-Palm Beach or the Resort at Singer Island. There are packages with lavish accommodations, spa services, champagne, poolside cabanas, and a limousine ride to Worth Avenue for a shopping excursion. If Mom likes Florida but wants a more low-key experience, look into a girlfriend’s getaway package at Ginn Reunion Resort in Orlando where Mom and her pals can spend two nights in a luxury villa, pamper herself with a spa treatment, and enjoy free daily breakfast.

My friends are great to travel with, but you can also gift your Moms with a mother-daughter travel escape, too. Southwest can fly the girls into Phoenix to experience the Camelback Inn’s Mother/Daughter Package. This resort offers this package year round so it is a terrific gift that can be enjoyed any time. For ladies that love The Windy City, The James Hotel in Chicago is offering a hip getaway with spa treatments, Dim Sum Brunch, and two tickets to Chicago’s Architectural Boat Tour.

We can’t forget moms-to-be since they need some love, too. Indulge her with spa packages designed for pregnant women in both California and Florida. Southwest Airlines offers service to both San Diego and Orlando where expectant moms can chill out at The Hotel Del Coronado or The Ritz Carlton Orlando to enjoy an official Mother’s Day designed just for them.

I hope you are inspired to be creative for Mother’s Day this year. Mom can use a break and Southwest Airlines makes it easy and affordable to give her one.
