Re: Where to go in April?

Hello All:

I want to plan a nice vacation for my 40th birthday this coming April. Looking for good weather, outdoor activities (hiking, swimming, biking, etc.) and decidely non-american culture.

Any ideas???

Queens Day in Amsterdam, usually April 30 unless that's a Sunday i think, is one of Europe's biggest parties and flea markets - anyone can sell anything on sidewalks - bands all over - not just a party but a fun citywide festive atmosphere. check out the Flower Fields and Keukenhof Gardens which should be abllom at the same time. www.keukenhof.nl

Since you said good weather on the European board, I would suggest Spain or Italy. I took a bicycle tour of Barcelona for about four hours. As for swimming in April, Germany has many swimming pools.

How about Iceland. They have warm outdoor swimming pools everywhere heated to 97 degrees. I felt a little ice on my hair and on the steps going up the slide when I was there in March two years ago. The problem here would be the wind. I hate riding a bicycle when it is windy. Icelandair flies from Orlando, Baltimore, Boston, Minneapolis, New York and San Francisco to KEF.

Portugal. Weather will be lovely and lots of things to do. Be careful if you go anywhere around Easter (April 8) as many things will be closed around that time.

I found my April dream
in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance
just like we never knew
My head was in the clouds,
my heart went crazy too,
And madly I said "I love you"

Too soon I heard you say:
"This dream is for a day"
That's Portugal and love in April
And when the showers fell,
those tears I know so well,
They told me it was spring
that's fooling me

Then morning brought the rain,
and now my dream is through
But still my heart says "I love you"
