Where would you go with your husband and 1 year old if you had 10 days off? Have a 1 year old that's walking but throws tantrums every now and then. Hoping for an easy direct flight or maximum 1 stop. Budget under 5000 if possible.

Mexico. Direct flight and can be fairly resonable.

We love puerto vallarta. Lots of kid friendly resorts.

Cyrena Corbett which resort did you stay at?

Brenda i have stayed at several. Sunscape was nice and grand marvel just outside of pv were the best two we stayed at that were kid friendly. I am also an agent so if you want some help. I can email you some options based on your dates. We also stayed at oceans rivera in the mayian and they had a great kids pool but your little one may be a bit young for that one yet.

Cyrena Corbett thank you. Will let you know.

cabo only 4 hour 53 min
flight

From Calgary? It took us longer than that when we went.

Sharon Doyle sorry 4 hours 53 min still not bad

Maui. There are direct flights between Maui & Calgary depending on when you plan to go.

Venessa Fedun I was looking but flights there are so expensive. I dont mind spending money when I'm there but the flight alone will cost too much.

Brenda yeah looks like it’s around $750 round trip for the dates you’re looking for. Perhaps San Fran or LA. Palm Springs is great but the desert will be incredibly hot in August.

Venessa Fedun when I looked the flights came up to 3000+.

for when ? right now/summer ? or winter ?

Ron August 6 to 16.

Brenda Then I would check out eastern canada. A hotel with a pool on ground floor so you can take monitor and relax. It will also be safe and stroller friendly and dont have to worrry about exchange. It's +30 in Halifax now!

Well I would not venture too far south in August, but whatever you like to do is your choice. I agree that Eastern Canada is a great choice. Our country has so much to explore. The Oregon coast is also one of my favourite places I have been to. It is so beautiful.

yes! You could do 10 days in New-Brunswick for example and rent an airbnb that has a baby bed so you keep your baby always sleeping at the same spot-bed-schedule that you are used to which might make your life easier.

Portugal, flights maybe more money, but the cost of food hotel and safety can not be beat:)

mexico, grand palladium has a great kids pool

With kids I love Mexican all inclusives, it’s an actual vacation for mama because you do not have to think or plan anything if you don’t want to!
Mayan Riviera is our favorite

Belize and take buses and stay in hostels

I think that would be pretty challenging with a 1-year-old.

Amanda best way. Challenging but fun and educational for all

Disneyland of course!!!

Mexico is great and cheap. Lots of resorts have a baby pool as well as big kids pool. Riu jalisco is great and super cheap at the moment. Also Iberostar Lindo in the Mayan. Cuba iberostar Varadaro is great and very safe. Closer by is California which has so much to see and do and great beaches to chill. Kelowna is also nice and very short flight. Lots of lake front Air B and B homes

Europe to a country where that money will go far such as Portugal or Croatia.

Alaskan Cruise. Beautiful scenery and you can book last minute and save a ton. We did one with our 2 boys and paid $3000 Canadian.

Assuming it’s in the summer you are looking at lol.

Cindy which website did you go if I may ask?

Girlie Domingo we went with Holland America

Try Expedia.ca for flights to Maui, we booked & r going next week for a pretty decent price for Maui

San Diego!! Lots to do for adults and kids. You can fly direct from Calgary nice and short. Check out the Go San Diego pass from Costco.

^^ we loved San Diego before kids and plan on taking them in the fall when they will be 1 and (almost) 3

I agree, we loved San Diego. We had our 1.5 year old with us as well.

SD is super family friendly, has the beach atmosphere, and incredibly reasonable. We’ve done that trip a couple times now with our kids.

Depends what you are looking for! If you want relaxing resort time, then an all-inclusive in Mexico. Flights to Maui are cheap BUT MAN is it expensive once you hit the ground! If you want touring and culture time, Greece/Spain/Italy but flights will cost. Plus they are in the middle of another heat wave and it will be freaking HOT during the summer. If you want nature/outdoors, Alaska would be a good match. A stay-in-Canada vaycay is a great option - Toronto/Niagara Falls/ Ottawa/Montreal, or Halifax/Cabot Trail

Lake Pend O'reille in Idaho! Sandpoint is a super cute little town and the lake is beautiful. Check these guys out. https://sleepscabins.com/

Yes, go camping. Body way to wind down with s little one.

Vegas or Cali - quick direct flights with some awesome deals. I found Tahiti Village Resort (5*) in Vegas for 1 week for under $400 on my discount booking site! Maui is my favourite - I took my kids when they were a little older though!

Which website is your favourite?

SF. Easy to get around, lots to see, short flight...we took our almost 2 year old for a week and it was awesome. Union square is great to spend an afternoon letting the kid run. Golden Gate park has like 5 playgrounds and the Japanese gardens which our kid loved.

Barbara Jegou any suggestions you may be able to provide.

We have our 1 year old in Spain right now... Just do what ever you wanted to do, and don't stop... Or go camping and totally give up

Said the guy that probably never took a walking 1 year-old camping.

I agree with this! We took our kids overseas when they were that young and it all worked well. Europe is super friendly for young ones. Depending on your travel style before kids that could slightly change, but if you take breaks for naps or they can sleep in a stroller pretty much anywhere is possible

Denise Lister I've never been a camper, we've always travelled for our vacations. We're heading to Portugal in an hour

Best vacation we ever had with a one-year-old was Disney. But it wasn't summer-busy.

Lots of family-friendly places to go. Hawaii, All Inclusive in MX (not during hurricane season though unless you go to Los Cabos). I think Disneyland and Disneyworld would be too young for a 1-year-old.

I’d go Azul Beach resort...Mexico. They are very set-up for young families there. It’s a beautiful resort, fabulous food, great beach. Fly direct into Cancun. It’s an easy holiday. Do the harder stuff when the little one is older. Have fun!

We travel to vancouver island every year with 3 young boys. Started when the last one was about 1 year. Parksville has lots of beaches and a very toddler friendly park. The flight is just over 1 hour. You don't have to worry about currency exchange. It is nice and relaxing. You can go through vrbo and get a house right on the water or save on budget and get a condo a short walk to the beach. Short drive to Goats on the roof, which you just have to experience. Marina close by to pickup the fresh catch of the day. Highly recommend buying halibut, oysters and crab to cook back at your facilities. Beautiful parks to explore. The area is laid back and relaxing. You won't regret it.

I was going to say the same. Parksville/Nanaimo area of Vancouver Island is heavenly for young families. Lots to do and you won't break the bank.

Don't laugh, okay, maybe a little. If you are talking about a summertime getaway, you can go back-to-nature about 1 hour east of Winnipeg in the Whiteshell Provincial Park. There are lots of lakes, swimming, fishing and hiking and just plain old relaxing.
Also, because everyone just celebrated Canada day, you can support our great country by travelling locally.

Southern California- any beach town between Huntington Beach and la Jolla would be perfect.

We just got back from San Diego with my 23 month old (stayed in an air bnb in imperial beach) I know thats a little older than yours. But the beach at imperial beach and mission beach were lovely. We also rented a car and it was super easy to get around San Diego. We explored balboa park for a day and it was great for him to run around and tire himself out. Also spent a day at the zoo. At 1 your little might sleep for the 2.5/3 hour plane ride, that’d be bliss haha.

Vancouver island. Take a mexico holiday in the winter.

1 year old with tantrums? Drive somewhere. Don't subject an airplane to it.

Hawaii.
Stuff to do.
Nice weather.
Not too adventurous.

Or I’d do San Diego.
It’s fantastic there too. And lots to do between LA and SD area.

This lady is awesome with helping plan trips for families! https://www.facebook.com/planestrainsandkids/

Mexico

All inclusives is a great break for parents
