My latest seven minute TRAVEL THERAPY television segment for ABC News went great this morning and is all about where to go to thaw out during these brutal winter months.

Is it just me or has this winter been more wicked then most? Of course sneaking off to the Caribbean, California, Florida and Arizona and any other warm weather destination I can find as often as possible has made it especially tough to come back to New York City and deal with whatever mess Mouth Nature is dishing out.

That said, I truly believe one of the best winter escapes you can find if you want to thaw out, relax and recharge is Scottsdale, Arizona. Usually this time of year its “High Season” and that means prices are ridiculously high, since you’re paying for all that warm weather and sunshine, but now thanks to the economy for the first time during the winter months Scottsdale is on sale! Love it!

That’s right some of the top resorts in the Desert of the Sun  have slashed prices and these discounts are catching on! So right now you can find some amazing deals at top Arizona resorts, spas, golf courses and dining venues.

Even better there’s a long list of things you can do in Scottsdale that are completely free.

To get the inside track on the best deals in Scottsdale including all the freebies just watch my latest TRAVEL THERAPY television segment on ABC News Now by clicking HERE or by going to the PRESS page on this website where all the segments are listed.

You can also find a lot of my TRAVEL THERAPY television segments on abcnews.com under the travel section.

Also very cool the Scottsdale CVB blogged about my visit giving the links to the Travel Tuesday feature I did on Scottsdale and the link to the ABC News Now travel segment! Love that!  Check it out by clicking HERE and you’ll also find a ton of great information on the site about the best deals in Scottsdale right now!

If you have an idea for a segment you’d like to see pleas drop me a line. I’m always researching new ideas and new places to explore.

I’m hoping where ever you are you’re staying happy, healthy and in good spirits no matter what kind of weather you’re having and remember you can always change your attitude by changing your environment.
