5 Days for a vacation..where to go?

[WashmyScooby]

So my wife and I have 5 days off and I want to go on vacation 5/21- 5/26. I want it to be a surprise. Needs to be someplace warm. Doesn't matter if it's in the U.S. or not (both have passports). I was thinking about Key West, but I have never been. Was also thinking the US Virgin Islands as well.

Anyone have any ideas?

Aruba, my bother went there for his honeymoon, said it was awesome there

Key West is one big tourist trap, there are a few cool hole-in-the-wall places in the Keys though.

If that's anywhere near memorial day weekend book it ASAP.  It's impossible to find anything  when you get close to that weekend.  In the Carribean I am particular to bermuda, but its can be crazy expensive.  After that it's St. Maarten, the french side in particular.  I have heard that Aruba is beautiful as well as well as Barbados.  

Have you been to the west coast or the southwest US? I love San Fran.  Really cool city, tons of things to see and do in and around the city

St John USVI.  Been 3 times & before we left we were planning our 4th.  Surprising strong ties back to New England.   Island is 3/4 national park so it's great for relaxing & not covered in shopping malls. I think the longest straight stretch of road is 1/4 mile though, all curves

All my favorite places.  Hawaii.  Puerto Rico.  San Diego.  Austin.  Nashville.  Someday I'll make it to Ireland and Scotland.  I liked St.John too but not among my top favorites.  

Don't schedule anything while you're there.  Just go and goof off.  No plans, just explore.  Have fun Bill.

Hawaii best vacation I have ever been on. Or go to Europe.

Kauai is frigan amazing but the flights are expensive.  If you don't need water fly to Salt Lake and drive down to Zion.  The temps are perfect right now and you will not get rained on, period. 

The wife and I were in the Sanibel Island region of Fla in March.  Nice weather, lots of old people though...

How about Brownville Jct. Lol heard its awesome this time of year, pre blackfly season

Bermuda is nice but expensive also. I easily could go through $200 a day on just myself.

Aruba is supposed to be nice but with a ton of other tourists. Bonaire is good for diving if you do that. Want a real adventure? Curaçao. It is less developed then the other two, not as expensive. You can even go ride an ostrich.

My brother & his wife went to St Lucia for their honeymoon and they loved it. Seemed to be a bit off the beaten path as far as tourism goes.

I wish I had your problems Bill...I had to decide where I wanted to go on my vacation, ugh FML. As for where to go, FLO rida or Montreal, both cheap to get to, and tons of attractions for the tourist. Or you could just stay in Maine, I mean, it's called "Vacationland" for christs sake.
