May 1-9, check out the <strong>St. Lucia Jazz festival<\/strong>, a major Caribbean music festival with 2010 featuring artists like Ne-Yo, Maxi Priest and Shaggy. Water sport and diving enthusiasts will also enjoy the island\u2019s sparkling waters and native marine life after the winter and spring break crowds have departed. And did I mention the weather? Spring in St. Lucia means temps in the mid-80s a low occurrence of rainfall, and dodging the start of hurricane season.<strong> Resources: <a title=\"St. Lucia vacations\" href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/App\/PerformMDLPDealsContent?deal_id=st-lucia-vacations&amp;cnt=PKH\" target=\"_self\">St. Lucia vacations<\/a>, <a title=\"St. Lucia hotels\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/St-Lucia-Hotels.d601900.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_self\">St. Lucia hotels<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Portland, Oregon: last-minute travel in disguise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5636\" title=\"portland_overview_intro\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/portland_overview_intro.jpg\" alt=\"portland_overview_intro\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Looking for last-minute travel?

It\u2019s also the perfect base from which to venture out on day trips to the beautiful <strong>Oregon Coast<\/strong>, the <strong>Willamette Valley wine country<\/strong> and the prominent <strong>Mount Hood<\/strong>.

If you\u2019re tight on a budget but big on sightseeing, visit London in springtime for a more rewarding travel experience (up to 13% off) and no shortage of events to fill your days. Celebrate English Heritage during<strong> St. George&#8217;s Day<\/strong> festivities from April 23-25or get in the spirit of spring at the <strong>Chelsea Flower Show<\/strong> from May 25 \u2013 29.<strong> Resource: <a title=\"London vacations\" href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/App\/PerformMDLPDealsContent?deal_id=london-vacations&amp;cnt=PKH\" target=\"_self\">London vacations<\/a>, <a title=\"London hotels\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_self\">London hotels<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>San Diego, California: tried, true and still unbeatable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5644\" title=\"sandiego_mp_intro\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/sandiego_mp_intro.jpg\" alt=\"sandiego_mp_intro\" width=\"166\" height=\"111\" \/>OK, you really can\u2019t go wrong no matter what time of year you visit southern California, but there\u2019s a good chance you won\u2019t see savings like this come summertime. With up to 15% off typical summer package pricing and a whole slew of spring events from which to choose, it\u2019s a great time to plan a long weekend getaway to sunny San Diego. Where to begin? A couple of my favorite events include the <strong>Sicilian Festival<\/strong> in downtown San Diego&#8217;s Little Italy neighborhood on April 23 and the <strong>Annual Mission Federal ArtWalk<\/strong> from April 24 \u2013 25 featuring over 300 artists will be showing and selling their work.
