Humans say...
Yvonne
Portugal!
Nora
Yvonne we spent 28 days in Portugal this year
Yvonne
Nora lucky! I'm looking forward to going back at some point.
Yvonne
Nora like others have said, it depends on what you are looking for. Ireland, London, Italy, Turkey ...... so many choices!!
Margo
Australia for 21 days
Anywhere in Europe would be quieter at that time. Cheaper too
Really depends on what you are after
Nice weather?
Sight seeing?
History?
Culture?
Nora
Margo thanks. I think this year I want weather and just abget away. More likely in the 7-10 days.
Margo
Nora Costa Rica or anywhere in South America
Same time zone
Erin
Sydney Australia and travel around … for full 21 days.
Australia is the best of everything.
Clean. Friendly. Mountains. Beaches. And Safe.
We loved our family trip there.
Lots of history too.
Marty
Toronto, you could spend the whole 21 days in the airport!
Treena
Marty but only bring your carry on!!
Diane
Croatia, Turkey or New Zealand
Cheryl
Costa rica
Jenel
I'd go back to cook Islands
Gordon
Jenel The Cookies are lovely people but February can be drab in the South Pacific. I lived in the Yasawas in Fiji for a couple of years. They were filming Cast Away nearby and look how dark that movie is. September is better.
Jenel
Gordon understandable. I'd still go back rain or shine though.
Gordon
Jenel Honestly, I would too.
Shell
Maui 100%
Shell
I just got back and there was so much to do. Different climates and activities and the food!!! Omg the food.
Jackie
Croatia, Malta, Morocco
Jennifer
If she’s going to do Croatia in Feb, then worth adding Carnival in Venice!
Deborah
Roatan
Maz
Just went to Croatia and it was FANTASTIC.
Jessica
Portugal is on my list!
Deborah
Sharm el sheikh
Judith

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

Cathy
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.
Peggy
Vietnam and Cambodia
Kevin
Japan. February is great time if you ski but if that's not your thing Tokyo and the more southern cities aren't freezing cold and have SO much to offer.
Tammi
Maui!
Stephani
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
Stephani I have heard that Italy is only good May to September. Is this not right?
Stephani
Stephani can’t answer that as we went in September.
Emily
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!
Samantha
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!
Stephani
We've been to Prague and Budapest in November and December. Cooler for sure, but still amazing.
Samantha
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!
Nora
Samantha
Christmas markets. We did (according to my husband) 4000 of them on a trip to Switzerland, Germany and Austria a few years ago.
Stephani
They are heavenly. I fell in love with the cities through their markets.
Coty
Europe.
Nettie
Japan...we went in November and fell in love with the place.. spent 7 days in Japan and 3 in Hong Kong..
Donna
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!
Amanda
Roatan. Hands down.
Alyssa
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!
CA
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.
Sue
Mediterranean cruise with a week before in Athens. We just came back and it is amazing!
Sasha
Italy, Slovenia, Croatia. Affordable, easy to travel, great food, history and amazing sights. Different things to do depending on time of year.
Angela
Hotel Xcaret Arte (adults only)...if you can afford it.
Kim
Curacao!!! Amazing island. Great diving and snorkeling. Impeccable beaches with crystal clear blue waters. Kind people and great food!
Sheila
We loved Bali.. The people were great, food was amazing . Stayed in Ubud, Seminyak, and Gili Islands. Simply amazing..
Samantha
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!
Samantha
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!

Edited to add: tell me why you recomend somewhere too please.
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.
