This winter has been a tough one so far and many of us are spending more time cooped up at home.

Cabin fever can hit hard and for the moms and other caretakers out there, too much closeness can become claustrophobic. When you really need a break during the cold months, but there isn't time nor money for a cruise or an extended island stay, there is an affordable option.

Either alone or with your spouse or partner, book a night, or even better two, at the Hampton Inn in South County Commons or any hotel of your choice.

Crank up the heat in your room, order room service, stay in the shower as long as you want. Head down to the  pool. Throw on a swimsuit in winter and luxuriate in the heated water. Sleep late. Refresh.
