Help us pick a destination!

DH and I want to start planning a vacation for the second half of 2013 (after April). We are having a hard time deciding where we want to go. We will not be bringing the kids (yay!) and our budget is about $4-5K for this trip. We live in the PNW. We are up for anything, though we tend to lean toward vacationing in warmer climates. Hawaii is out, since we are going there in November of this year.

If you were us, where would you go?

Thanks!

How far do you want to travel?

How many days do you have?

I am a bit lazy to fly long distances so I would either go to Las Vegas or maybe take a cruise from San Diego.

We want to make it a week long vacation. We are willing to do a longer flight.

We went to the Cook Islands a couple years ago and really liked it. It's like Hawaii with no resorts, tourists, or military bases and way fewer people. From the West Coast the flight isn't bad -- just down to LA then overnight to Rarotonga -- and it's the same time zone as Hawaii so jetlag isn't bad, either.
