[quote=Anonymous]Three friends and I would like to take a trip for our 40th b'days this year but picking a place has proved tricky so I'm hoping all of you might have some good ideas. Here are some of the details/constraints:

1) Three of us are in the northeast, one is in the west (near a regional airport)
2) 1 of us is in a tight budget and set a $2000-$2500 budget for her share of the trip (this is one of the east coast people)
3) there is some interest in an adventure (a multi-day guided bike tour was discussed) but nothing too hard core [I would be happy doing a few days of back country hiking - but I'm the only one interested in that]
4) Most people seem to want to get away for about 5 days, including travel time, so something near an airport would be best
5) 1 person really doesn't seem to like any options in the US (she has been pretty much everywhere already) and another person doesn't want any countries with too much poverty (Guatemala and Nicaragua were vetoed) [if people have ideas for things they did in the US that were really fabulous, maybe the person who wants to leave the US could be convinced]
6) I suggested Puerto Rico but the person who has been everywhere in the US said she has been there and doesn't want to go back [but if people have ideas for a "new" way to do PR, let me know!]
7) Europe was discussed but I think that would be tough for $2000-$2500 especially if we did a bike trip or some other adventure (I don't think people would be up for just renting bikes and winging it - they would want a guide). Also 5 days is tough for a trip to Europe
8) we have to go in late May or early June
9) I think South America might work, but I nervous about safety in Rio and BA is very expensive to fly to now and no one else seems to want to go to Colombia

Belize was discussed but then when I started googling it looked like the nice places to stay are all several hours from the airport. If we are only going ot be away for 5 days, that seems like a lot of time to lose to travel.

Any other ideas???[/quote]
