Rejuvinating trip ideas - Please help!

Hi All,
Wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for where to go for a rejuvinating/rebooting trip for two sisters in their mid-twenties along with a six month old baby to take. We recently lost our mother and wanted to go somewhere to re-focus and be distracted for a week or two in late April - early May. Does anyone have any ideas? We are open to going to Europe but will need somewhere baby friendly.
Thank you in advance.

I'd probably go somewhere in the U.S. with sun and warm temps, activities, a spa, etc. Europe can be a pleasant distraction, but getting there, the time change, and coming back aren't necessarily conducive to rejuvenation, especially with a baby. Does the baby have a passport?

I've seen (and answered) your question on the other branches as well. I think Europe is *great* but I don't consider it a "relaxing" kind of trip. It can be a lot of work! Especially with a little baby in tow.

I'd instead recommend a tropical vacation, somewhere like Hawaii or Mexico. April/May is good weather both places.

Hawaii... I agree with Suze - I love Europe but it is not a relaxing kind of trip.

I also immediately thought of Hawaii. I think you'll want to keep your planning and trip relatively simple.

I am sorry for your loss and hope your trip will be just what you need. Take care.
