have to deal with my SAD

i need to deal with my SAD (season affection disorder) i have to find sometime to make my moods up and i get more energies but having my dog make me feel cheerful watching him get hopping around like running, playing and etc... but i need more than that. i have been researching all about depression and SAD as well and what need to be done and what need to do i need to be in place that have much sun and warmth, that would make me feel good. California would be good place to be at. But cruises are perfect place have lot of sun everyday. I hate what i am feeling every winter time like having SAD every winter ack. That why i hate winter even that it is not my favorite season.
