Stress less, save money, lose weight and spend more time with your family.
Good intentions. They come around every year and are practically synonymous
with champagne toasts at New Year celebrations.
But are you wavering already?
Not to worry, online travel adviser Cheapflights (www.cheapflights.com) has
come up with a top 10 list of destinations where you can go to keep those New
Year's resolutions on track.
1. Resolution: Stress less
1.
To stress less, go to...: St. Lucia, Caribbean
Blissful white sand beaches, lush green palm trees that provide welcome
shade, and a seemingly endless sea - the recipe for pure relaxation. Add to
that the incredible lightness of being and the warmth of the Caribbean locals
and you're practically in heaven.
The Body Holiday LeSport resort on St. Lucia is an ideal destination to
offload stress, humming the mantra, "give us your body for a week and we'll
give you back your mind."
The resort has a wellness center for dealing with all the bells and
whistles, lots of activities, culinary ecstasies and - simply nothing that
resembles stress.
2. Resolution: Spend more time with family

To have more family time, go to...: Quebec City, Canada
Even on a well-planned family vacation, it's not often you get to spend
much time together.
The kids jump around the pool all day while the parents sit on the beach
and read. While relaxing for the parents and fun for the kids, it's not very
sociable.
For fun the whole family can enjoy, visit Quebec City in the end of
January and beginning of February and catch the Quebec Winter Carnival.
The biggest winter carnival in the world is like a kid-friendly Mardi
Gras, boasting snow sculptures, dog sled rides, ice skating and other outdoor
activities worth bundling up for.
3. Resolution: Exercise more
3.
To exercise more, go to...: Dolomites, Italy
Italy is a place normally associated with pizza, pasta, gelato and wine -
all fairly unhealthy indulgences.
Nevertheless, it is also the perfect destination for fitness, especially
when it comes to the country's majestic Dolomites, mountains in northeastern
Italy which offer a picturesque backdrop for every season and a great excuse to
get some fresh air.
Travel fitness provider Fitscape can help you get fit and stay fit.
Try out the popular range of ski courses in the morning, stretching with
yoga and fitness classes in the afternoon, and winding down in the sauna and
Jacuzzi in the evening.
4. Resolution: Allot more time for yourself
4.
To have 'ME' time, go to...: Maldives
Give in to absolute luxury and have a little time to yourself - and where
better to do this than the Maldives?
The luxurious One&Only Reethi Rah resort is like a journey for the soul.
Individual villas, endless idyllic coves, and white sand and turquoise sea all
offer uninterrupted privacy.
Should the children not be able to stay with the grandparents, there is a
separate area for them at the resort with numerous activities throughout the
day, so parents can relax and revel in the luxury of complete seclusion offered
by the resort.
5. Resolution: Eat better
