A shot of religion in the Holy Land
Purim is a holiday celebration like no other
Take a guided trek out on the nearby glaciers.
Tropic temperatures and sandy beaches get all the glory, but for a truly unforgettable getaway, sometimes it's better to just chill.
Cosy up with your plus one under a blanket of romantic serenity in comfortable summer climes at Pearson's Pond Luxury Inn & Adventure Spa in Juneau, Alaska.
Freeze time with a four-night stay in five-star lodging in either a premium ($1,903) or deluxe ($1,479) suite. Enjoy all amenities, $80 off two massages on site, and the Sweetheart Romance Package. Guaranteed to keep you warm, the package includes champagne, wine or a sparkling non-alcoholic beverage; roses; chocolates; a trail of rose petals leading to your bed; and two Pearson's Pond keepsake champagne flutes.
Named one of the top five most romantic hotel destinations in the world by MSN and "among the world's best wellness spas" by Forbes, the resort will have you exchanging Eskimo kisses beside a secluded glacier-made lake. Admire master-planned gardens that have been featured in Sunset magazine and include an outdoor sauna, gazebos and spectacular views of the stars.
Make good use of kayaks, bikes, and fishing equipment - or book a "flightseeing" trip - to experience outdoor excursions of a lifetime only available in Alaska... and best done in Juneau.
Keep your dog sled parked right at the resort as you indulge in massages or aromatherapy paraffin treatments at the Adventure Spa. There's also a fully equipped, fitness centre, your very own kitchenette, fireplace, artist supplies and much more for your use. Indulge in daily breakfasts, afternoon snacks, and evening hospitality hours, courtesy of your friendly innkeepers.
Save your bikini for the sauna and hot tubs and see for yourself why NBC, ABC, CBS, and the Outdoor Channel were so impressed with Pearson's, and why Uptake called it "levitating romance". Now mush before this adventure melts away.
