Fergie and Duhamel in Cabo

If you want to vacation where the stars go then it looks like Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was the place to be in 2008 and will probably keep attracting the A listers through 2009.

Located on the Baja Peninsula, Cabo has a little bit of something for everyone. You can relax in all-inclusive resorts or wile away your time in an intimate beachfront villa. There are more than a few world class golf courses to keep the duffers happy during the day and the anglers will love sport fishing off the pacific coast. Charter a boat for a fishing excursion or just to see the sites from a different angle. But the best part of Cabo is probably the beach. Fluffy white beaches are perfect for lying back and enjoying the weather.

Some celebrities who were spotted in Cabo in the last year were Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge, Brody Jenner, Fergie, Josh Duhamel, Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Len Wiseman, Kate Beckinsale and many more. Some of these celebrities vacation at Cabo on a regular basis, others like to hop from celebrity vacation hotspot to hotspot. But if you’re looking for a vacation and want to see the stars prancing around in their swimwear then Cabo is a good bet.

The best part of Cabo is that it’s not uber expensive even though the uber elite love to play there. You can find some incredible deals on hotels at Cheaptickets.com or you can skip the hassle and find an all inclusive package and save money without haggling over the odds and ends.

Apparently the economy is hitting some of the uber-rich harder than we know. It’s cutting into their caviar and champagne diets, their expensive coifing and their vacation time. Believe it or not mega-couple, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, have publicly announced that they will be taking their daughter, Suri, on a camping vacation this summer. YES, a camping trip.

Now, I’m not sure if the couple actually knows what camping is as evidenced by an interview for the Mirror where Katie describes a previous camping trip where Tom made the family pasta carbonara. Now, in my world, that’s a near impossibility while camping. Then again, for me a camping luxury would be a campfire grill and skillet and I’m guessing the Cruise family comes with a complete camping kitchen or maybe even a portable catering RV.

In addition, in the Mirror article it is suggested that the family will be traveling with a Scientology representative and security. Which makes one wonder what the portable Cruise camp will look like. Frankly, I can’t envision a series of modest  tents as most people would take on a camping trip. I think its more likely the family and their entourage will be traveling in a fleet of Luxury RVs that come complete with built in refrigerators, dish washers, comfy couches, full sized beds, indoor plumbing and they can be outfitted with flat screen televisions.

The Cruises have said that they are taking Suri camping to give her a taste of what a normal childhood is like. I’m sure with an entourage including bodyguards, religious advisors, a fleet of high-tech RVs and pasta carbonara, Suri will know exactly what it’s like to be an average American child.

As long as you’re going on vacation, why not make it a destination that has some celebrity scenery as well. Relax and play where the stars spend their free time.

There is one location that has stood the test of time and been a celebrity vacation hotspot for decades and shows no sign of losing its favor. Las Vegas is and always has been a place for celebrities to relax and let loose. From its very early beginnings with romanticized gangsters such as Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky, to the Rat Pack days with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop and Humphrey Bogart to modern times with almost everyone making an appearance including Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Tom Cruise, Ashton Kutcher, Michael Jackson and Brad Pitt. The list of stars that take a Las Vegas vacation is almost limitless so this city wins as the one vacation destination that will almost certainly guarantee a celebrity sighting.

If you’re more interested in a tropical locale for your vacation (which may include celebrities in scanty swim suits) then a Caribbean vacation is a pretty safe bet. There are many destinations in the Caribbean that are favored by the stars for their vacations, especially during the winter holidays because of the incredibly mild weather and beautiful beaches. Stars you may spot on the islands includes Amy Winehouse, Michael Jordan, Kenny Chesney, Tiger Woods, David Letterman and Uma Thurman. Many of these stars actually love the Caribbean so much they’ve purchased houses in the region.

The best thing about these celebrity vacation hotspots is they’re such popular destinations that you can usually get some sort of discount or package vacation deal. Shop well-known online discount travel sites such as CheapTickets, Expedia, and Orbitz to find the best deals for your Las Vegas or Caribbean Vacation.
