Anniversary vacation ideas?

[cableguy11]

Thanks for the ideas.

I'm going to rule San Francisco out only because my wife has been there multiple times on business trips. I think she's looking to go some place she hasn't been. She was asking about San Antonio this evening because she hasn't been there. Not really sure what we'd do there though but it's a cheap trip.

I was mostly looking into Florida and California because she loves the beach. Wish another trip to Hawaii was in the cards but I can't pull that off on my current budget.

If all else fails she'd probably OK with just getting a cabin up in the mountains somewhere but I'd rather venture out a little farther from home.

Lots to do in San Antonio: Alamo, Riverwalk, you could stay in Fredericksburg or New Braunfels and not be to far away from SA. Hyatt Hill Country Resort is a really nice place to stay but it is pricey. You looking for anything in particular? and congrats on the anniversary!! VRBO has some really nice places that might be available. That is my home town and we go back at least once or twice a year.

Not anything specific. Just some place we can relax, enjoy some good meals, and maybe some decent weather.

Congrats to you both. Marriage can be a lot of work.

There are some nice beach areas in southern Alabama and the Florida pan handle. If the beach isn't a necessity, New Orleans is a great place to visit for food and decent weather. Maybe Corpus Christi, though air fare seems expensive.

If CA is in the running - check out San Luis Obispo: Morrow Bay, Pismo Beach or Monterey/Carmel/Cambria. All on beach and smaller towns.

How about a cruise out of Galveston? Air fare to Houston is cheap and you don't need a passport.

You should be able to get a passport in 2 weeks, extra $$ though.

Florida Keys.

Try Galveston, 3 day drive, and you can see other things in Texas on the way. Nice beaches, warm water, decent prices. IMHO Disney in Florida sucks, Disneyland in California is good enough, and you don't have to deal with the oppressive humidity.

I like this recommendation. San Luis Obispo is a great little college town. They have an awesome Farmers Market year round on Thursdays in their neat little downtown area. Food, music, and plenty of people watching. A nice town to stay in for this trip if you want to stay at the beach is Avila Beach. It is a charming little town. You can use it as a base camp to take a drive up and down HWY 1 which is a beautiful drive. There is a lot to explore in the area such as the towns mentioned, Hearst Castle which is beautiful and historic, Monterey has a really outstanding Aquarium, 17 Mile drive through Carmel and Pebble beach is absolutely gorgeous.

Congrats and hope you and the missus have a great trip wherever you decide to go
