Looking for trip ideas in February for a bday weekend trip from the 14th to 18th. Her 50th and want something special. Looked at Disney world but one of the worst times for crowds.
New Orleans?
San Diego ?
San Antonio ?
Charleston?

Would the northern lights be out at this time of year?

Budget is around 5 grand

Thanks for the ideas

I turn 50 next year too and have an Alaska fishing trip planned or maybe a float hunt if i can find a couple guys to go with. This is just a surprise for her birthday as she has a trip planned to New York with a couple girlfriends that i don't have to go on so I win lol.

not been to 1st 3 but have been to Charleston TWICE
Stay in the old Citadel campus hotel, take the horse drawn cart rides, at least 2, to different areas of town, AMAZING history there, that I never knew.
Order shrimp and grits, and hang on. some are spicy, some not.
The trolley/bus system is awesome and we walked some and rode some.

After a few days ya could go down to Savanna GA.....look up Tybee Island too!

Northern lights?...…..too early for Alaskan cruises, we took the first available a few yrs ago and its not til May.
Ask about this on the Wilderness Forum

San Antonio would be on our list!

Does she like country music?...ya got Branson Mo a couple days then Nashville Tn for a couple more.

Take her to Punxsutawney to see Phil.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Certainly within your budget. Very nice people, no violence, great beaches and you can eat and drink in style for very little.

If she likes the beach. February is a great season if you go to the area around Quepos. There is a National park nearby and some great fishing for sailfish.

Of the list I've only been to San Diego. It's nice, traffic can be a nightmare.
How about a cruise? Since you mentioned Disney, Disney cruise can be expensive but you'll barely notice the kids. You can do a really nice cruise for your budget. There's usually a lot of great deals on them too. If you do, get a room with a balcony.

GREAT time to do Disney cruise is when kids are IN SCHOOL!

Was the best cruise we've had compared to Holland America and Carnival and Royal.

Disney staff was best and they did everything but chew our food, because there is lower staff:guest ratio..we had 1500 staff : 3500 guests compared to 1500:4500 when school is out.

Yup. The staff is amazing for sure. The guy for our room was incredible. + there was plenty of adults only areas on our boat.

She's done several cruises . Im trying to plan something she wouldn't do for herself. I wish Mexico was safer id love to sit on a beach and just telax in the warmth come about February. New Orleans might be fun it would be the first weekend of carnival. Fairbanks to see the northern lights and ice carving championships.
Ill look at Costa Rica too.
All have been good ideas so far keep them coming

Nothing but R n R on the laid back island of kauai. No pass port needed. Rent a jeep for the week and cover the entire island.
