+1. Also, not big spenders but planning a peak season trip in under 2 months with strict parameters and no stated budget? Mmmkay.

If it really interests your family, I wouldn’t discount Japan (without skiing). We’ve been a couple times as a family (DH travels a ton). Nonstop flight to Haneda, base in Tokyo, phenomenal train systems. You can do a lot. We just did Sat to Sat a couple months ago.

You COULD do Japan in 9 days. But you shouldn’t.

Vietnam is beautiful.

We did Japan in 9 days over Thanksgiving break.

Are you talking about in like 6 weeks, or over a year from now?

Not big spenders but you want to go to Japan? Ok.

Portugal - such an easy country to drive around in, would definitely recommend visiting Porto. There are so many smaller cities and towns to stop at.

Argentina - I would do Buenos Aires and Montevideo (Uruguay), you can take the ferry to Montevideo

As for itineraries there are tons available online! Good luck.

OP- Thanks! I like the sound of these! What's a good rough itinerary for Argentina for 9 days? How many days in Buenos Aires...is it a good time/do we have enough days to go to Patagonia? Have never been to Argentina.

How about Portugal? Where can we go for 9 days? Thank you!

Portugal
Argentina

DH, me + 14 & 16yo DCs. We ski every year in March but this year want some place warmer b/s it's been so cold

Doesn't have to be tropical, just not cold. Enjoy active trips or city trips, bonus if we can mix both

An ideal spring trip for us would be Sapporo skiing + Tokyo + Kyoto with great nature, great culture and great food, but with only 9 days, don't think we can do Japan. Not interested in Florida, Vegas or Mexico. Not big spenders but also not budget travelers

Thanks!
