Do you need a “coolcation”?

The triple digit warmth finally has broken here in the Finger Lakes…but that doesn’t mean we’re free and clear.

Maybe you should plan a “coolcation” this summer!

Travelers are skipping warm weather locales like the beaches and going to cooler climes with mountains, lakes and forests, according to HuffPost.

Searches for cooler travel destinations are way up as people are swapping out Florida for Alaska and ditching desert heat for places like Canada and Iceland!

And it’s not just about comfort…cooler spots often have fewer crowds this time of year, too.

Would you take one?
