[quote=Anonymous]How about Puerto Rico?  Did a 4 day trip there in February and it was fantastic.  Quick nonstop flight, and no passport / customs hassles, but still get that Carribean vibe.  We stayed in the Condado section of San Juan in a great suite hotel right on the beach (very Miami vibe to the hotel), got out to old San Juan for some culture / visit the fort / good food,  spent time lounging/reading either poolside or at the beach, took a great day hike in El Yunque National Forest one day and an evening kayak trip to a bioluminescent bay another.  Basically had an absolutely fantastic time, and I would go back in a heartbeat.  (I'm not a huge Caribbean person, but have also been to Aruba and Turks & Caicos, and much preferred Puerto Rico since I really do like to have the culture / alternative outdoor activities.)

Our other post-kids solo trip was 5 days in Montreal and we had a wonderful time - lots to see and fantastic restaurants.  But you don't have the beach aspect.

Have also been to Vancouver and it's also a great city to visit, though not really beachy (at least not of the warm, sit on the sand / go for a swim variety, which is what I think of when someone says 'beach').  And with a west coast city you're really looking at equivalent travel times to much of western Europe.  Which is fine of course, I just know I can forget how long it takes to get across the continent!

And really the best location is going to depend on exactly when you want to go, since everywhere really does have those ideal weather windows.

But wherever you go, have fun!  We've finally been able to fit some travel back into our lives and it makes me so happy.[/quote]
