Now that the winter is on the way, there is still time to escape the chills by getting away from the cold! One easy way is to simply fly or drive south to North Carolina, where there are some wonderful properties that are used for vacation rentals. An area in particular that is good is the Outer Banks, where the Outer Banks rentals can be had for fairly reasonable rates. In the fall it is a great climate there, not sweltering hot, yet not so cold that you need to wrap up warm.
