If you could plan a trip anywhere for between 7 & 21 days starting mid-February where would you go? Adult couple. Love deals but don't want to stay somewhere sketchy either.

Canadian Mountain Holidays Bugaboo Lodge. February is great heliskiing time, and you can spend the airfare on more vertical. And it is so close.

Thailand, because it’s beautiful, hot, great beaches, lovely people, our favourite food and reasonably priced. But not just for 7 days because it’s a very long trip.
Second choice is Zihuatanejo, Mexico.

Italy. Great food, history, amazing beach and water. Lovely people. Just an overall wonderful experience. And easy to travel to other countries from there too.

Stephani can’t answer that as we went in September.

Stephani my favourite time in Italy was March….nice weather, fewer people! Europe in Feb/March is so much warmer than us here, I think it’s an ideal time!

Stephani I’ve travelled to Italy in December, February and August and each time had its benefits! A country in its “off season” is filled with amazing things to see and do, often without the long lines and crowds!

We've been to Prague and Budapest in November and December. Cooler for sure, but still amazing.

Stephani the Christmas markets in Eastern Europe make up for the chill!
All the Italians thought I was crazy for wearing a sundress in February - it was sunny and 15! This Canadian loved it - and laughed at them in their parkas!

Christmas markets. We did (according to my husband) 4000 of them on a trip to Switzerland, Germany and Austria a few years ago.

Playas del Coco, Costa Rica. We stayed at Pacifico Condos. Beautiful, relaxing, safe to walk to restaurants for supper. Car rentals are expensive, so if you just want to relax, you wouldn’t need one here. Groceries right outside the complex, and across the street. You could take a couple of tour, or rent a car for a couple of days and go beach hopping. Main roads are paved, but others are gravel, full of potholes, etc. So you have to be a good driver to go on those roads. I.e. one called The Monkey Trail. Small town, about a good 10+ minute walk to the beach. Try to get a direct flight to Liberia to avoid going through Toronto, now more than ever!

Roc barlovento in varadero Cuba! Book through sunwing and get the roc plus for free! It’s an adults only resort and all the staff are fabulous! Also you don’t have to worry about safety in Cuba in any way even going off resort! Beatles bar and Havana club are great places to hit up and there’s a flea market around the corner as well as Kiki’s pizza which is great!

Progresso Mexico and Merida. Merida is lively and vibrant with fantastic food. Progresso and the little towns near by are great for a quiet beach holiday, very private. Lots of great airbnb options. Safe area.

If I had 20 days to spend anywhere I’ve already visited, I would visit Italy or Bali again.
Italy for the culture, sightseeing, museums, lively cities and romantic towns, the food, cooking classes, allll the wine!
Bali for the culture, beaches, sightseeing, relaxation, slower pace, affordable price point, fun activities.
I hope whenever you decide, you have an amazing time!

Oh! And if I could go anywhere new, I’d go to Egypt!
I’d want to visit Cairo and Luxor and then do a nile cruise for a week. Pretty much for the same reasons listed above - culture, food, sightseeing, slower pace and relaxation!
