August vacation - If Not Aruba or hurricane alley
I am having difficulty choosing where to go this August (from Boston). I had a great trip to St. Maarten last May, been to Aruba in July, but don't want to risk hurricane cancellations or revisit the same place.
I'm open to just about anything on the North American side of the globe, North of Mexico, except the following. Any ideas? Vancouver? Las Vegas (too hot), Florida (too hot), Canada (no thank you)...
What do I like? St. Maarten activities, not just a beach. Plenty of choices for day trips and must sees. A book and a wine tour isn't going to cut it.
Just free wheel with ideas. Thank you in advance.

Vancouver is fantastic. You mention it as a choice but then say "Canada, no thank you?" Don't really understand that since Vancouver's definitely Canadian.
Vancouver is one of the prettiest cities in the world and combined with Victoria and Vancouver Island makes for a really enjoyable vacation week.

Thank you, all. Still open for suggestions. Yes, I realize I said, Canada, No thank you, but then realized Vancouver may be nice. I was thinking Eastern Canada at the time.
I'll look into Vancouver, but wonder how hot Lake Tahoe is in August.
