Sounds lovely! I can't cruise and Ill check out Fl. Thanks.

Any recommendations for where to stay? Ocean front?

Scottsdale, Arizona. Stay at a fancy hotel with a spa. Wonderful shopping, restaurants and hiking. I like the Scottsdale Princess and the Four Seasons.

PS - Santa Fe is great for a solo getaway too but it's a long flight.

2 hrs or 2.5 hrs direct to S Beach. I don't think it's too hot right now? Prices should b OK prob? Great food no car needed you get pool beach can walk shop sit and have a couple drinks on Ocean Dr. I'm telling you it's easy warm and offers R&R. I can think of more beautiful places but that will take more $ and time!! If you were open then I'd say PR BVI DR pick your island or even Fl Keys. My fave place to getaway will take much longer which would be CA either San Luis Obiscapo, SB or Carmel by the Sea. Right now Sedona is also prob great or Phoenix even. I would go S or W

Yes, CA is essentially an 8 hr day so I would spend an entire day each way traveling. Yes, beautiful and not realistic or restful.

Montego Bay, an all inclusive, adults only, close to the airport.

San Juan, Puerto Rico is great, and you don't need a passport

Lots of beautiful resorts, beaches, Old Town, Pina Coladas, shopping, food, etc.

Was just going to say California - Palm Springs!

I'd avoid the airport.

If you're from DC can you drive over to an inn on the eastern shore or to Cape May?

San Juan. Beautiful long walking trails circling Old Town. Easy flight. Great food.

Seeking suggestions for something you have done. Criteria direct flight, near the ocean or water, easy to get to from the flight, not hectic, relaxing, opportunity for exercise-walk, bike and lounging and good food near. Does this exist? Budget ideally $5000 or less. TIA.

OP again. This could also happen Memorial Day weekend. Thanks!
