Head to where it's sunny and warm this week and get there just in time for a different kind of festival. February 2 brings Dia de la Candelaria to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where locals celebrate with parades, bullfights and a blessing of the candles.

That's right, residents bring candles to the church to be blessed for use throughout the year. They also bring their icons of Niño Jesús (or Christ child), dressed in their best, to the church for an evening of celebration.

Want to check into somewhere easy in PV? Try Dreams Puerto Vallarta. Yes, it's an all-inclusive, but it's literally the best around. Forget cheesy wristbands and buffets. Dreams has movies on the beach at night and a la carte restaurants combined with dramatic views of the rock-edged beach on Banderas Bay.
