We aren’t wealthy by any means but where would you travel? I’m sure I could make anywhere work for our budget.
We have passports so in the country is easier but out of the country is not a deal breaker. I have Multiple Sclerosis so good healthcare for an emergency is always a nice to have. I’m open to car or plane. I’ve never traveled train so who knows, not opposed to it. |
Kids' ages?
Are we talking beach, mountain, city, history...type of vacation? Give some context. You're flying and being a tourist during peak travel season so be prepared to pay a premium...and you're booking relatively late to boot. |
Kids are 15,11,7. Open ended on activities. Nothing overly physical as my MS limits some of my capabilities and something like jungle exploration would be out but virtually anything else remains in. We are on the DMV so it’s still relatively cold locally to go to the Delaware beaches, maybe North Carolina as well? |
Maybe Puerto Rico? |
If price is a factor:
Fly to Miami - Miami beach or another Florida beach drivable from there Riviera Maya - rent a condo on the beach in Akumal. If price is less of a factor: Fly to Madrid and tour Spain. Fly to Naples and check out southern italy. |
- Trip to Sedona with an overnight jaunt up to the Grand Canyon
- Trip to San Diego (stay in hotel downtown) - Trip to Grand Cayman (stay at Morritt's on the East End) - Trip to Austin TX with an overnight jaunt into the outer hill country |
Hilton Head with that age group. |
Tucson or Fort Lauderdale beach area |
Omg so boring. |
Too cold to get in the water in march. |
I would not do Riviera Maya since OP needs access to good healthcare. I like the Miami suggestion. Beach, pool, art, shopping. |
Chicago is so good with teens and flat, will probably be cold |
Have you taken the kids to New York? I know it’s not a popular spring break destination but I find that as a plus. There are countless things you can do there either inside, outside, physically active, or not. |
I hate Disney, but am a fan of Universal. My kids are also big Harry Potter fans. How about staying at one of the hotels on-site and splurging on a fast pass? You only really need 2 days in the parks so you could stay 3 nights and enjoy the pool at your hotel one of the days. |
Compared to? We have a house there, and have a teen. Never bored. Golf, tennis/pickleball, bike ride everywhere, time on the water, pool, general beach activities etc. |
