I am planning a ladies' trip. It will be me, my three sisters and my mother (a senior). We will leave JFK on a Thursday night and return on Tuesday, preferably on a non-stop flight. I need suggestion of where we should go this time. We are assuming Europe, but any suggestions would be welcome. Paris and London have already been done. I look forward to your suggestions!!

How about Vienna?

My daughters and I did a Thursday - Tuesday trip - once in Nov. to Prague, another year to Barcelona in February which was much warmer than NE and NW N. America. Both trips were great - we loved cheap opera and ballet in Prague. What month are you going?

We don't know when we're going - possibly April?

Any non-stops to Prague or Vienna? They are my top choices, but we are firm on the non-stop thing. And Barcelona is high on my list, too!! Venice?

There is definitely a non-stop, at least, by Austrian Airlines to Vienna. Actually, Prague and Barcelona would be very nice, too.

Definitely consider Venice. I went there a few years back with a group of five other ladies (mixed ages). We all cried as we left Venice in our water taxi....really! I've since gone back over Thanksgiving with two other gals. We loved it. While there, you can also tour the islands of Murano (famous Venetian glass) and my favorite, Burano, known for its centuries-old tradition of Italian lace-making.

Altthough I ahve not done so, I hear Montreal is great for a long weekend. Shorter flight, a taste of France built in, and more likely to save some $s so you can shop, shop, shop

Prague, Salzburg or Vienna would all make for a wonderful ladies' trip.

If I only had four days I would want to go somewhere I had been before - for me that would be the UK or Paris. While I think all of the suggestions you have been given are lovely, I don't think I could stand such a short visit to somewhere brand new. I would leave begrudingly!

Wherever you end up - ENJOY!
