Need some inspiration? How about one of these great destinations?

Bermuda

It may be only 21-square miles, but there's more than enough to keep even the most cosmopolitan traveler busy. Pink sand beaches are, of course, a must-visit even for those who aren't sun-worshippers. Beyond the beach, a host of leisure activities awaits from golfing to shopping, from art to architecture.

Visitors to this beautiful island will see why Bermuda is recognized as "Best Island" from Conde Nast Traveler and "Best in Travel for 2017" by Lonely Planet.

New Zealand

The diversity of New Zealand must be seen to be believed. From its majestic fjords to its verdant rolling hills, the scenery is spectacular. Outdoorsy types will enjoy the chance to hike, go white water rafting and check out some of the country's numerous sheep farms.

More of a city slicker? Then be sure to visit Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Not only will you have the chance to learn more about New Zealand's culture, but you can sample some fine dining and world-famous wines while you're at it.

South America

Experience the beauty, excitement and cultural diversity of South America on an American Airlines Vacation package. Regardless of the destination, travelers are in for an unforgettable experience. Among the featured cities are Bogota, Colombia; Quito, Ecuador; Santiago, Chile; Lima, Peru; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Brazil's Rio de Janiero and Sao Paulo.

And, starting December 15, 2017, travelers can fly nonstop from Miami to Cartagena, Colombia.

Las Vegas

There's no place like home, unless we're talking about Vegas, of course.

In the city that never sleeps, visitors can cut loose or chill out or do a combination of both, all surrounded by dazzling entertainment, stylish casinos and gourmet dining options.

Universal Orlando Resort

Three over-the-top theme parks, including the new water theme park, Universal's Volcano Bay, make Universal Orlando the perfect family getaway.

Where else could you take the Hogwarts Express to the electrifying Wizarding World of Harry Potter and experience Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts?

Universal CityWalk offers guests non-stop excitement with a dazzling array of themed restaurants, nightclubs and entertainment options, including the world-renowned Blue Man Group. When not out enjoying the parks, visitors can take in a movie, shop and even play a round of miniature golf.
