| Lake District in the UK or Australia. |
| 20k is not an unlimited budget. 20k would only last a couple days. |

Rent homes for one month each in the following places:
English countryside Provence Tuscany Use the homes as base and leisurely explore the surrounding area |
I said I was looking for ideas. DH earns a 7 figure income so we can afford to spend more. |
| I'd rent a place right on the beach and park myself there. |
+1 on Provence - just visited - still glowing. |
|
Australia/New Zealand
Hawaiian Islands (Kauai, Big Island and Oahu are my faves for different reasons) Eat my way through Spain/Italy/France |
| I wouldn't do Asia with kids. Flight is just too long. Caribbean? Maybe culebra, Puerto Rico. We stayed at an affordable place right on the beach called villa flamenco. It had a kitchenette and it would be lovely to chill there for a month. |
| 10 days at Las Ventanas in Cabo. |
| Cotswolds, hike the Cotswold way, spend time in Bath and Cornwall. Hike part of the South West coast path, visit the lost gardens of Heligan, then head to Scotland for a week or ten days. |
| I'd rent a fabulous house on the water in Maine and stay there for the whole month. Depends on age of kids, though. Mine are little, so I wouldn't want the hassle or moving from place to place. But Maine in August is gorgeous. |
?????!!!!! |
| How old are the kids? If they are at least 7 or 8, I would do a safari and then maybe a beach week somewhere truly beautiful that is sort of nearby , like the Seychelles. |
| I'd summer in the summer house somewhere in New England and then travel to other places in early to mid September when the tourists go home. |
| When I was a kid, we spent several summers in the UK while my father was teaching a study abroad program there. We were based in Oxford but took many day trips to London, Bath, Cotswolds, etc. I went back there as an adult for the summer before grad school, and it was just as awesome. |
