So my grown daughter is really feeling the need for a 3 or 4 day getaway. She wants to just relax preferable in a pool and recharge from her job, being a single mom and all the other things that daily living throws at you. I suggested Las Vegas?? Any other suggestions.

Ojai land in LA and drive

Palm Springs

Phoenix, Palm Springs or Las Vegas.

San Francisco

Vegas is cheap to get too but once your there it’s super expensive especially because our dollar is so horrible. I suggest staying in canada

Varadero

Hey Wendy. I'm in the same boat. I tried posting the same thing on this page, but it didn't go through. Can you let me know what you discover? I'm looking for a 3 day HOT place to take my 10 year old daughter to. I'm a single dad. (hotel, pool, palm tree... I'm good!)

The Royal Palladian in Puerto Vallarta has a really good set up for adults and kids. My daughter took her boys there when they were 9 & 13. They all had a really good time

Our granddaughter loves Palm Springs, great pools, lots of Palm trees, three hour nonstop flight. Tons of restaurants, a great zoo for kids. Very warm here, compared to LA or Vegas

Judy if I was going to put that much time and effort in, I think I would do a Disney cruise. I'm just looking for a quick weekend getaway. Fairly inexpensive, short queen trip. Things like that. Literally check into a hotel that has a pool outside.

Brenda thank you. Yes, that sounds great. I've been searching different places. Didn't know if a good place was Phoenix? La? Just needed a place that had Palm Trees, Hotel, pool.

Palm Springs is much hotter, high 30s right now, and a little airport that you get the car right outside. Phoenix area is massive, huge freeways. We much prefer the ease and simplicity of Palm Springs.

Brenda thank you

Palm Springs for sure- but it will start cooling off mid nov!

Kirk, west Edmonton mall...has a water park

Shelley LOL. That's not really a vacation to me.

Anaheim and you could also do Disney for a day

west jet vacations usually has good deals

Palm Springs is easy with direct flights.

Use flights.google.ca to check for the cheapest price. If prices are close make sure you compare bag fees as well.

A lot of pools are closed in Vegas though. But you can spot the Canadians sitting around it still...lol

True so disappointing

Brenda but I have done a weekend in Vegas in Dec. Lots to do and see if you want. Day trip to Grand Canyon even is nice on the bus.

cabo

For heat, and safety, I suggest Huatulco if you want outside the USA.

Palm
Spring

We LOVED San Diego! I found California to be more relaxing and cheaper than Vegas. Vegas is good if she needs to drink, but San Diego had a lot of 1-5$ wine bottles.

Ashley I also loved San Diego. Found tons to do and spend a day just lounging around the pool at the end of November a few years ago. OR picnic in Balboa park

I love Balboa Park!
There is so much to do and it was relatively inexpensive.

We went in February... for Canadians it isn't cold.

Baha Mexico cruise out of L.A. There are 3-4 day options. Quick, easy and relatively inexpensive vacation, food and entertainment are all inclusive.

Where would I look this up?

Carnival Cruise for sure offers this itinerary, not sure about other cruise lines. https://www.carnival.com

Cruises | Carnival Cruise Deals: Caribbean, The Bahamas, Alaska, and Mexico

Vacations to go..last minute deals

I agree to check ‘Vacations to go’. We got good deal on Princess Cruise from SF to Mexico - Puerto Vallarta, manzanilla, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. They represent most cruises and various routes.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. It will be a 4 day trip at the most. I am taking care of my grandson so don't need a child friendly place. I was wondering about the weather in November for hanging out in the pools. Something like what Kirk is looking for. Palm trees, heat and a pool.

Wendy, have you been to Vegas before?

I have been many years ago but am looking for idea's for my grown daughter.

Phoenix or Palm Springs. Short flight and much quieter than Vegas- if she truly wants some downtime.

20 + But u never know with our crazy weather systems.

Cabo San Lucas

I agree with Cabo, nice short flight, beautiful weather. Tesoro is a great place right on the marina. Has a great pool

a close flight 2-3 hrs is bermuda we went and it was wonderful and they have all kinds of deals for 3-4 days the island is safe and very friendly and they all the pools you could want!!

Bermuda is far more than 3 hours and not direct. You fly via Toronto and then it’s 2 1/2 hours. The weather in the winter in Bermuda isn’t beach weather either. If you’ve got a week and a big budget, Bermuda is amazing though.

Sunwing.ca has great all inclusive getaways

Puerto Varata

Come to Costa Rica! We moved to Playas del Coco from Calgary and love it ! We have rentals that sound perfect!

Nadene I would love some info on that

Nadene ... tell me more!

I will attach the links to my rental units on airbnb. You can of course book directly. We have a triplex that is awesome for small groups. It can sleep 9. It is like booking a 4 bedroom/4 bath house with a private pool but there are 3 kitchens and separate bathrooms. Most people like traveling with family or friends but don't necessarily want to share the kitchen and bathrooms. The other is a cute townhouse with a rooftop terrace

Lake Louise

Fantasyland water park in edmonchuck. You can drive there!!!

Orlando

Palm Springs, no beach but a quick flight, pretty and quiet. Las Vegas seems to have the better deals right now though, and our $$ sucks.

Fairmont hot springs bed and brkfst, or delta kananaskis, take kids with you for quality time.

Tofino

Palm Springs

Anywhere but the U.S.

Comox

Hard to relax in Vegas. Go to Phoenix area.

Tai Na Mara Parksville B.C.
