[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, 17 days over winter break you can do some further places that are warmer like Thailand, India, Vietnam, UAE, Morocco, Egypt (all placed we've gone and enjoyed).

For shorter periods like spring break, it'll be extremely expensive but Europe / South America / Caribbean. Thanksgiving would be a less expensive time to do these places as well. I've been with kids and enjoyed Istanbul, Paris, Italy, Greece, Croatia, England, Ireland, etc.[/quote]

Oh, Morocco is a good one! I would love to go to Egypt but heard so many mixed things about the safety of the trip. Would you consider taking teens? Did you prefer Morocco or Istanbul? Which is better for kids/ teens. My kids are pretty easy going and like doing excursions over sightseeing. We are limited by the breaks and would prefer to find good destinations for Thanksgiving break because we often ski for Spring Break but are flexible. Obviously saving a lot on flights is a big benefit for going over Thanksgiving, I’ve found it’s inexpensive to go to places like Europe that week but weather isn’t always great that time of year either.

When you have school-aged kids and won't travel in the summer you can't really be picky about weather lol! I've been to Europe in the winter a lot and still very much so enjoyed it. As the Danish say, there is no bad weather just bad clothing.

My husband is military and works in the middle east so security wasn't a concern, but we used tour companies with ties to the US embassy so they were well versed in the security needed in Eygpt. At times you might have an armed guard. When we went no guard was needed. Hands down, this was the most amazing trip for my 9 year old. He still talks about it today. So I would not skip on Egypt.

Morocco was fun as well - we stayed and toured with friends that were stationed there. Morocco was a bit more shopping-forward with the Medinas. My son lost his mind over the camel butcher lol.

That’s so cool you got to experience that with him! Do you know how to find US embassy tied tour agencies? [/quote]

There is no such thing.  That tour operator lied.[/quote]

There was only one tour operator that is booked by embassy employees and military. This is my husband's job, so we know first hand. [/quote]

Sammi is the owner and he lists this fact on his website; https://www.americanstartravel.com/[/quote]
