I know, I know, really off topic but wondered if anyone else has went through this. My beautiful wife is turning 40 in November and she doesn't want to turn 40 in the boring state of South Dakota. She would but she puts up with my cards, watching any sporting event, missed a wedding this weekend for NFL draft, etc, etc. Thought about taking her back to the town she grew up in but thats Ellendale ND and that doesn't sound like much fun in November. I looked at New York but seemed crazy expensive, figured we would do that when kids are gone. Any ideas? Can't involve sporting events, too much booze, or exotic dancers. Okay, maybe a little, but for the most part should be about her. Background info - we were married in Jamaica, she has been to Mexico and we are going back in 2 years, been to Florida for Daytona Bike week, going to Chicago this year, been to New Orleans with a friend and she loved it. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I'd recomend the Mayan Riviera but you said your going to Mexico in 2 years so that's out.
How about the Dominican Rupublic? Punta Cana is nice, went there last fall. Prices are very reasonable for the all inclusive places. You could do a week with the kids, including airfare for <2K. Everyone loves the beach and rum, right?
If you want cheap…Las Vegas and Mexico are two good options.
The problem is that the reason cities with gambling are cheap is they want you in town and figure you’ll gamble while there.
You want a great family vacation in November? How old are your kids? And how many? Can ya swing $3500?
I travel for leisure often and could throw some good ideas at ya if I knew a little more about what you want.

Both are relatively close to you in North Dakota and are very romantic cities. It's like being in Paris without having to fly across the Atlantic....

He said NY was expensive.....
Airfare alone for the family to PS could be a small fortune.

Cruises can be dirt cheap as well, if you're into them.
If you leave the country we've had great trips to Belize, Costa Rica, Negril Jamaica (which is a whole lot nicer than Montego and Ocho Rios, if that is where you were for your wedding), Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, and Bonaire. I wasn't that fond of the Dominican Republic nor Aruba, but those are options as well.

A: New York doesn't have to be crazy expensive. I'm looking at going for the US/Argentina soccer game in June. Flight into Newark is right @ $200, 3.5 star hotel on Hotwire in Newark for $125 a night. 20-30 minutes on public transit and you're in the city. Tons of stuff to see, a lot of which is free.
2: My sister lives in Albuquerque. Santa Fe, Taos, Las Cruces all neat places.
Good luck.
