Please suggest. Will be very helpful. Thanks In Advance
Hi! My friend and I are planning a trip (somewhere) tropical in early November. However I haven’t the slightest idea where to narrow down our search to. Ideally we’d like to avoid any chance of hurricanes, even though it’s nearing the end of the season. I would be traveling from Atlanta, so hopefully a flight less than 7 hours? Our budget is on the higher end, I think we are looking for a luxury all inclusive. Activity wise, I think we’re just looking to relax by the pool, the beach, and maybe do a couple of activities. I’m a young woman so I’m also leaning towards places where it would be safe to leave the resort if there are things to do, but I’m also happy to stay on property. Any and all thoughts and questions welcome!
I'm seriously bored and want to get out of town for the weekend. Where should I go? My criteria is that It can't be Florida (I live there) and it must be in the US.
hello everyone! me and my bf plan to have a little vacation next week around europe. we thought about amsterdam but its kinda pricey because we would drive there by car and gas prices are crazy atm. we also thought about prague which would be way closer but were not sure yet.
does anyone have any vacation experience with the countrys surrounding austria?
thanks!
How is the beach? Things to do outside the beach as well. Thank you!
Edit: starting from Montana USA, and looking for something with shopping and such, but also nature to explore in
My girlfriend and I are trying to figure out where to travel this December and would love some recommendations.
To give you an idea of what we like, our three favourite trips/experiences so far have been:
• RIU Reggae, Jamaica
• Mykonos, Greece
• Afro Nation Portugal
So basically, we like beautiful beaches + warm weather + partying/nightlife + good music + a lively social atmosphere. We still want somewhere nice enough to relax during the day, but we’re definitely not looking for a quiet couples resort where everything shuts down at 10pm
We’re travelling in December, ideally somewhere with reliably good weather. We’re open to an all-inclusive resort or a destination where we stay at a hotel/Airbnb and explore.
Based on those three trips, where would you send us next?
Hi! We are going to Croatia from US from Sept 4-14 for our honeymoon, flying in and out of Zagreb and looking for a mix of nature and beach and culture and we want a relaxing pace.
Here’s what we’re thinking so far but don’t know:
Day 1: land in Zagreb midday, spend the day there to adjust to jet lag
Day 2-4: rent a car and drive to plitvice? Any charming villages we should stay during this time or must see hikes that won’t be too busy?
Day 5-8: drive to Rovinj and enjoy the beach. Maybe do a boat rental one day. Any other must sees?
Day 9: drive back to Zagreb before our flight the folllowing day.
My husband and I are considering a vacation for our 10 year anniversary next year, beginning of August. We're flying out of LAX. Ideally, we are looking into staying anywhere between 7-12 days max. We were considering Greece, Bora Bora, Fiji, Europe, Mexico and Hawaii. I am overwhelmed as to where we should go! We have been saving 2 years worth for a trip! We're open to suggestions! Thank you :)
Trying to decide between the two. The key factor here is this is a family vacation with a teenager and a child in elementary school. Corolla Beach seems like it would be a great vacation for my wife and I but I have concerns the kids may get bored. Virginia Beach looks like there’s a lot of stuff to do for the family but I have concerns that it’s a little on the ghetto side from things I saw on social media. If you’ve been to both which would you choose in this scenario?
I usually fly from Wichita to Las Vegas 3-4 times per year to visit my son. But this time, I'm thinking of flying to SLC and driving the rest of the way. I like to drive and I'm hoping for some scenery. Any thoughts?
Give me your recs!
Every year my husband take turns planning an anniversary trip for each other. The destination is a surprise. Because this date fall smack in the middle of summer, we’ve been dealing with extremely hot temperatures for the last few years. Europe, Asia, Bora BorA were exhaustingly hot. Recommendation for 10-14 day trips please as I need to start planning for next year.
Looking for suggestions? Two to three weeks, we will be 62 and 71 but in excellent shape and enjoy the outdoors. We have only made one international trip together this year through Italy and loved it. The one caveat is we went with our youngest daughter and family and one other young family. Our daughter has been a world traveler and knows all the ends and outs getting around places and basically drug us around Italy lol Since this will be our first big trip on our own I really don't want to limit ourselves to a cruise or some other tour bus type trip where we don't have the freedom to do what we want but, kind of lack the confidence to travel internationally on our own. I did actually do a semester abroad in college by myself and traveled all over Europe but, mind you this was before internet and cell phones which was almost easier and definitely less crowded.
I’ve Googled this and even asked ChatGPT, but I still can’t find what I’m looking for. Is there a travel website that lets you search for vacation packages based on your budget rather than your destination?
Ideally, I’d enter my country/airport of origin and my total budget. Then it would suggest destinations and packages that fit within that budget.
Does something like this really not exist?!
Thanks!
Next May, my husband and I will celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Our options for places to celebrate are: Chicago, L.A. or New York. It will be a weekend trip - Friday through Monday…flying from Texas. Which place would you choose and why? Thank you in advance!
In Roanoke, Virginia. This is the all in budget we have. Can drive to Bristol or Charlotte for flights.
I need help because I’ve been going back and forth for DAYS and need to book something basically now 😭
My husband and I are trying to take a last-minute trip Aug 14–22.
I’ve been extremely burnt out from work/studying and the main thing I want from this vacation is to actually reset.
I definitely want beautiful blue/clear water, white sand, warm weather, and several days where I genuinely don’t have to do anything.
But I also love mountains, dramatic scenery, boat rides, exploring, etc., which is why I started considering Hawaii.
Option 1: Hawaii — Kauai + Oahu
We’d spend most of the trip in Kauai (14th-19th) and then about 3-4 nights in Oahu.
Things I’m excited about:
Na Pali Coast boat tour
Waimea Canyon
Jurassic Park-type scenery/mountains
Beautiful beaches
Getting both relaxation AND adventure
Neither of us has been to Hawaii before
My concern is that I’m already exhausted, and Hawaii seems like it could turn into a very “go go go” vacation — rental cars, driving everywhere, excursions, checking weather, moving islands/hotels, etc.
The forecast for Kauai is also currently showing clouds/scattered rain during some of our days, which is making me nervous about the boat tour and whether we’ll get that sunny tropical vacation feeling. But I also know that this could just mean it rains for 20 mins and passes or not at all.
Option 2: Turks & Caicos
I’ve already been to Turks&Caicos and absolutely loved it. I’d probably stay at the same place again, so there would be almost zero planning involved.
I already know the beaches are exactly what I want: crazy blue clear water, soft white sand, easy beach days, etc. I could basically wake up every morning and decide what to do that day without feeling like I’m “wasting” the destination.
The downside is that I’ve already been there, so part of me wonders if I’ll regret spending the time/money going somewhere I’ve already seen instead of finally experiencing Hawaii.
BUT because we’re booking so last minute, Turks & Caicos is actually coming out about $640 MORE for the entire trip than Hawaii. So weirdly, Hawaii — even with Kauai + Oahu — is the cheaper option right now. (tbh i just mentioned this for the sake of mentioning it cuz i don’t mind paying a little more for the right trip)
But yes that does make me question paying more to revisit somewhere I’ve already been when I could spend less and experience Hawaii for the first time.
ST LUCIA sounds like a decent compromise until i saw the only flight there from NYC on the 14th is like 2,262 per person and 45HRS total to get there (shocked)
For people who have done both Hawaii & Turks, which would you choose specifically for someone who is mentally exhausted and wants to come home actually rested?
And for anyone who has done Kauai: did you find it relaxing, or did you feel like you were constantly driving/planning/trying to fit things in? Also, should scattered rain in the Kauai forecast for next week actually concern me, especially for a Na Pali boat tour?
I think my biggest fear is choosing Hawaii because it’s the more exciting/new option and then realizing halfway through that what I actually needed was a beach chair and absolutely nothing to do 😂
But my other fear is choosing the easy, familiar option because I’m exhausted and then coming home thinking, “Damn, I had almost 10 days, Hawaii was actually cheaper, and I had the time. Why didn’t I just go when I had the chance?”
Please make this decision for me because clearly I cannot 😭
every year my dad takes us on vacation. all inclusive, no sightseeing, just sit at the pool and eat all week. it was nice the first 9 fucking times now its getting boring.
we just arrived today and im already counting down the minutes until we catch the flight home. whenever I talk about this i feel really privileged because some people have never even been on vacation but this is tiring. id rather stay home
i suggested to go on a few excursions because sitting outside all sweaty doesn’t sound super ideal to me, he asked me if i don’t want to relax at all and closed the topic. i brought 2 books and i already finished one - I have no idea what im gonna do the rest of the week.
anyone else just hate family vacations? i feel like they’re so overwhelming and i can never fully enjoy them.
Gutted to be leaving this beautiful place
My family has been vacationing in the Outer Banks for 35 years. There are at least 20 of us, usually more.
We have folks in their 80s and we have babies across three generations. We drive from all over - PA, NY, MD, NC. We usually rent a very large beach front house with a pool and elevator (a must) but the drive is becoming insanely arduous for many of us and I’m wondering if there are any spots along the east coast closer to the Northeast/mid atlantic that can accommodate this many people in one large house.
What we’re looking for:
Does this exist?
