Wife's 40th Birthday
 

Can anyone recommend a good place to go in mid july, for my wifes 40th birthday?

Give us more information. Like, what do you like to do - beach? golf? eat gourmet? relax? hike? Any travel restrictions? Any parts of the country you're thinking of?

Paris always works. Napa/Sonoma. Give us some parameters...

Prague, until I have more info. that is the best I can do.

Prague? In mid July ?? EEK!<BR><BR>How about somewhere not too hot, not too humid... Hmm...<BR><BR>If you like outdoorsy, Colorado could be nice. Beautiful mountains. Or head further south and do Santa Fe/Taos.<BR><BR>I think Alaska is supposed to be nice, how about a cruise up the inland channel or whatever they call it.

A place with good nightlife and/or a beautiful beach to relax during the day. A little sightseeing during the day is ok to.

I'm partial to Amelia Island (Fla) but it will be plenty hot @ that time of year. The Outer Banks would also be a good choice but not much on the nightlife.

just curious, what is wrong with Prague in july?

Seagate, what about some place like Laguna or Newport Beach areas? You can beach by day, do LA nightlife in the evenings.<BR><BR><BR>JoeBob, I found Prague to be really crowded, really hot and really humid in July, tho I 've only been once. Maybe it was a fluke. I suspect it would be nicer in May or September.

If Paris doesn't work,how about <BR> Las Vegas...it is sort of a grown-ups Disneyland, she will laugh and have fun and feel like a kid. <BR>Stay in a really nice room at the Bellagio, eat in a great restaurant, buy her a little sparkly something in one of the shops in the Ceasars Forums, just be silly and have fun. <BR>I always go away for my birthday, it is so much easier waking up another year older in a neat place:)

sorry, I missed the post about the beach:) <BR>Then bring her to NYC. You can do the city then go out to the Hamptons for a couple of days.

NY Girl, I was thinking of Vegas. The only thing I thought was the really hot weather.

We went to Las Vegas for my last birthday, although it is in the spring, we have also been in Aug a few times. Somehow, I guess because of the absence of any humidity, it is bearable to walk the strip and do things in that heat. But you don't have to because you just go in and out of very airconditioned hotels, casinos, restaurants and shops all day and night. I always need a sweater or something even in Aug.<BR>Look at the Bellagio website and read about the restaurants and shows, it might be really fun, and she will want something to distract her from the idea of #40:)

I went to Tortola in the BVI for my 50th. It was wonderful and I would highly recommend it.

Cannes. It's perfect. Or Juan les Pins. Both have everything she will want, and she's still young enough to go topless on the beach (if not modest), although I've seen women in their 60's like that on the beach. At that time, in Juan les Pins, they are having their annual Jazz (which includes blues and sometimes rock) festival. Very party atmosphere.

Hawaii, Honolulu-Waikiki or Maui<BR>Have fun.
