October Advice
 

My husband and I are leaving the kids with grandparents for five days in october for a much needed vacation. Any suggestions for two experienced travelers? We will fly from the northeast and would like to stay in one place for the duration. Could be relaxing, could be city-oriented or both. Thanks!

Well, I am a little jaded on this town, but Venice is marvelous in October. It isn't as crowded and it is the most romantic city in the world. We travel there every year so if you go let us know!

I don't know whether you've ever been before, but my vote would be for either London or Paris. IMO, London (5 hrs. difference in time vs. 6, shorter flying time) is easier for a quick trip, but both are very doable in your time frame. It sounds like a wonderful time for you and your husband!

thanks for the advice! we are thinking more about Paris or Barcelona. Any places to stay? I have been to Paris many times and my husband has been to Barcelona, but we'd like something special. Also, what about Vienna? Too far?
