You’d never know by looking at the thermometer (it’s sizzling where we live), but September is creeping up on us. In just a few short weeks we’ll be packing away the shorts and swimsuits and getting out the rakes and raincoats. But as they say, summer ain’t over til it’s over, and if you are trying to squeeze in one more family trip you may want to consider these exceptional travel deals.

The next travel deal is specifically designed for the lucky parents who travel with a nanny in tow… to Hawaii.
The Wailea Beach Villas on Maui is currently offering survival kits to nannies who stay on property with their employers and young charges.
The Nanny Kit includes: a list of kids’ activities, playgrounds and parks, and kid-friendly dining guide; a $20 gift certificate for homemade ice cream; sunscreen; a first-aid kit; a Hawaiian-themed beach blanket; the book, “Good Night Hawaiian Moon” and a read-along CD; as well as a stuffed sea-turtle toy. And especially for the nanny, the kit comes with a copy of “The Nanny Diaries” book, the latest issue of “People” or “US” magazine and aspirin.
Wailea Beach Villas is a gated resort community made up of two- and three-bedroom penthouses and villas. In other words the property falls into the if-you-have-to-ask-how-much-it-costs-you-can’t-afford-it category. Of course, if you are traveling with a nanny, price is likely not a factor anyhow. With that said penthouse units with a garden view are available from $1,100 to $1,600, while the oceanfront villas go from $3,500 up to $5,000 per night. However, the resort is currently offering an end of the summer deal, which gives guests a 20% discount on rooms.
