With a daybook filled with appointments from sun up to way past sun down, planning a holiday seems like a fleeting dream. Check out these three destinations and you’ll be moving book a flight/make a hotel reservation to the top of the to-do list.

Beach escape - Florida
Located on a sweet strip of creamy coloured sand in north Miami Beach, Acqualina is a welcome retreat from your daily rat race. Spacious rooms feature dream-inducing beds, huge bathrooms and plenty of space to stash your wardrobe (and new additions!). Take your pick from the beach area with its mini red cabanas or one of three pool areas, and benefit from attentive staff who regularly bestow you with offers of complimentary sunscreen, water and fresh fruit. Take time to indulge at Espa, a lavish spa retreat with plenty of stress-reducing treatments and side benefits such as the Crystal steam room with colour therapy lights, Finnish sauna and private pool. Bring your appetite and indulge your tastebuds with dinner at NYC fave resto Il Mulino and if you need to know the recipe, Executive Chef Michele Mazza hosts cooking classes to learn the secrets of his Italian kitchen. Not far from the glamour of South Beach for a night’s indulgence and a short hop to credit card worthy Bal Harbour Shops, Acqualina Resort is a perfect spot to recharge.

Would you like to win a laptop? LG is running a contest to find a name for their X120 mini-laptop. Three of these cute little guys will be awarded to the contestants who come up with the most popular, most creative, and most stylish names.  We have of course entered the contest.  Our names are LG Trend and the LG Freedom Notebook.

We feel that the LG X120 might be the ultimate mobile companion for us gals on the go. With a 10” LED backlit screen, built-in wireless connectivity, and weighing just 1.26 kg, this mini laptop is always ready to go, and ready to play.

The contest runs until June 10, 2009 and is open to residents of Canada (excluding Quebec) who are of 16 years of age or older.
