Holiday Advice
 
Hello,

I am looking to book my next holiday, Sometime in September / October.

I am looking for warm weather but I do not want to just lay on the beach. I want to explore and take in the culture. I am also a big foodie! I do not mind adventure but I am not able to climb a mountian or scuba dive (if that makes sense).

if there are any other questions or points i left out please let me know.

And thank you for your advice!

Where do you live?

How far/long are you willing to travel to reach your destination?

Are you willing to travel internationally or only domestically?

How long a trip are you planning?

What is your budget for airfare, accommodations, food and activities? Give us a specific dollar range, not nebulous terms like "affordable", "won't break the bank", etc.

Where have you been before and what did you like/dislike about those trips/destinations?

What type of activities interest you? You have to define for us what you mean by "explore" (what do you like to explore?) and "culture"?

I live in NYC. I think I will be away for a week. I would like to be away somewhere warmish. I am not sure what my budget will be, but I do have miles which I can use. Some of teh places that I love is Bali (but that is too far), barcelona, brugges, tulume. I was not so thrilled with brussles and midrid.

You're off-season for the Carribean.

My favorite island is St. Barths.

Great food, nice beaches and an interesting culture in a small area.

Sicily. Greece. Morocco. Although a week is really too short for them. Perhaps Nice, but go later rather than earlier to avoid the crowds.

Orlando could be your option to stay...............Good places with fun and adventure too............and the food was amazingly good...........

My advice would be to go to a travel agents and tell them what you want and the prices you can pay, and let them advise you, they will know the market better than anyone.

If you are talking about abroad there are lots of places for enjoying holidays.

Ignore KaneCarter. You live in the US, the vast majority of TAs here only know about cruises, Disney, and big bus tours to western Europe.
