A question about : Need ideas for an awesome new year trip

DH has a significant birthday at new year. Had always planned to take him to the Great Barrier Reef but he'd rather wait a while for that as we now have a small child.

So, looking for ideas for a 5-7-10 night holiday to somewhere fabulous for new year and a few days either side. Don't want to do New York, Las Vegas or UAE. Would like somewhere warmer than the UK ideally. We aren't really slob out on a beach type people, so somewhere with stuff to do as well as opportunities to chill out. DD will be 5 but is an experienced traveller.

Any ideas?

Best answers:

  • South America? Most parts except the far south will be warm/hot at that time. Maybe a bit too far for a one week break though.
  • fly to Florida, pick up an RV, do the Everglades and down to Key West and back?
  • or a multi destination holiday?
    South America as been suggested is a good choice, Brazil, Rio, Galapogos Islands, Costa Rica, Argentina etc. personally I wouldn't fly long haul for just 10 days, I once did it to the Caribbean, 7 days, doable, but not worth it!
