Actress, Author Mariel Hemingway & Travelers Advantage share:
The Best Holiday Getaways

NORWALK, Conn., Nov. 28, 2007 - Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year's Eve are magical holidays celebrated everywhere. But according to actress and author Mariel Hemingway, the holidays are even more memorable in certain locations.

"I love New York City, Sun Valley and Sydney during the holidays," she said. "Each one is a unique destination."

Leslie Downey, director of communication for Travelers Advantage and TravelersAdvantage.com, said, "Going some place different for the holidays is popular because getaways can eliminate stress and give friends and family a time to focus on having fun together."

Hemingway explains how she chose her three holiday favorites:

New York City
For Thanksgiving, the Big Apple is the best. The Thanksgiving Day parade is great—watching those ridiculous balloons careen down Central Park West is so silly and fun, and brings the community together. The still-walkable, pre-winter streets and the cold air just say, "Yay! Winter is coming!" New York is the most fast-paced town on the planet and you need a respirator to keep up. High heels or running shoes, New York is a walking city that has something going on at every corner every hour of the day. Museums, parks, Westside, Eastside, Tribeca & Soho galleries, cafes, diners, fabulous shops and well, Barneys. It's the best in New York, but is a standard there.

Sun Valley, Idaho
For an old-fashioned Christmas, there is nothing better. The torchlight parade down Dollar Mountain in the darkness on Christmas Eve is magic. A trail ride to Trail Creek Cabin in a horse-drawn sleigh is unreal. You can watch skaters practice figure-skating at the outdoor rink or watch hockey practice inside. The skiing is not to be matched anywhere in the world. In my opinion, Baldy is the greatest mountain anywhere to ski for variety and length of runs. The maintenance on the hill is like no other I have skied. I used to be a racer, so I know well what it takes to rock a ski hill.

Sydney, Australia
Christmas in Sydney rocks if you want to experience Christmas in mid-summer. It is wildly fun and nothing short of insanity. New Year's Eve is an event in Sydney and because of the warm weather, it goes on for well over 24 hours. I don't drink, but in Sydney, you don't have to: You get buzzed by the energy of the city and the people.
