As of last week, United announced an **unprecedented level of tight carry on rules** for budget fares starting in 2017. Instead of getting mad, let’s rise to the challenge. Let’s take advantage of the cheaper fares and be strategic for our next vacations. Here’s a list of one (small) bag getaways for the weekend.

## Barceló All-Inclusives

 Pool. Beach. Bar. Repeat. All-inclusives make planning a vacation easy and packing even easier. Throw a bathing suit, dress and sandals in a backpack and head to a beachside resort to soak in the sun. We’ve got a few options here:  **[Barceló Maya Grand Resort](https://www.barcelo.com/barcelohotels/en_us/hotels/mexico/riviera-maya/hotel-barcelo-maya-palace/general-description.aspx)**, **[Barceló Bavaro Grand Resort](https://www.barcelo.com/barcelohotels/en_us/offers/early-booking/early-booking-bavaro.aspx)** and **[Royal Hideway](https://www.barcelo.com/barcelohotels/en_us/hotels/mexico/riviera-maya/hotel-royal-hideaway-playacar-resort/general-description.aspx)** are all located in warm weather locales.

## Winter Escape: Estes Park

 You might have to wear your hiking boots and jacket during the flight, but you won’t need much else for a winter getaway in **[Estes Park](http://www.visitestespark.com/)**. After local outfitters load you up with snowshoes, cross-country skis and anything else you might need, the downtown bars and restaurants are the definition of Colorado casual.

## Paradise Now: Bermuda

## Amenities Galore: Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa

 Along with all the necessities (chargers, floss, curling irons, etc), at **[Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa](http://www.seafireresortandspa.com/)**, guests can access bikes, raid the minibar and don plush robes. The resort is situated along sunny Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman, so minimal clothing is required.
