Ready to get out of town? Here's a sampling of travel deals by land, sea and air.

(Bear in mind that the trips, whose prices were verified Thursday afternoon, can sell out quickly and restrictions such as day of travel, blackout dates and advance-purchase may apply.)

A one-bedroom suite and golf for two, including cart, is now $199 per room per night Sunday through Thursday ($279 Friday or Saturday) plus 12 percent taxes and a $3 per night energy surcharge. Priced separately, room rate typically starts at $205 per night, and golf is $70 per person per round.
