10 year anniversary, where to go?

[Deleted]

Yes I have 1.5 years to plan but where would you go if you had 4 nights for your 10 year anniversary?  Or where did you go? I like to plan things early to start saving the money we will need!  I might be able to squeeze 5 nights but H will be 3 so could be a lot of work for our older parents.

We've casually mentioned Boston and New Orleans.  I'd love somewhere further like Hawaii or Europe but idk if we can justify a 6+ hour flight for 4 nights.

Vernazza, Italy. I would LOVE to go back but it's such a pain to get to (about 4 hours north of Rome).

I'd like to go sometime in April-May and would prefer during the school year so my parents can get a break from the kids while they're in school

Have you done all of Italy? Could you go somewhere else but still Italy to keep with the same idea? Lake como?

We did Maui and big island for ours and did Oahu for our 10th. It's a fun reason to go back but somewhere else

We did Hawaii for our 10 year and Paris for our 5 year. I think Europe is definitely doable and fun for a shorter trip,especially if you go somewhere you can fly directly and maybe just do one city (Paris, London, Rome, etc). If you want to stick to the US, are you looking for more relaxing or more sightseeing? I of course love Boston but keep in mind that in April/may it can still be freezing (and snow!)

I personally would go to San Francisco and Napa, and try and get a reservation at French Laundry for our anniversary meal.

Are you thinking Jazzfest in Nola?

Do you want beach or city or tourist attractions or a combo?

I would totally do Europe with 4 days. Can you get a direct flight to somewhere?

Puerto Rico?

Cuba?

Nashville
Nola
Sonoma
Come to mind

Idk about Nola, my husband has just never been so I thought it could be fun! We have direct flights to London, Frankfurt, Munich, and Reyjknovik in Europe but that's it.

I'm not sure what we want to do. Probably tourist attractions and city and less beach just because we did beach for our 5 year.

[jaime183]

Napa or San Fran would be a great few day trip
Or San Diego
I think I'd go to Iceland

[ktstorm]

I would probably go to London. It's a lot of fun. Germany and Iceland are apt to be cold but pretty at that time of year. I guess that depends on how you like the cold, my H does not do cold so he'd complain the entire time even if it was really cool.

London is a great quick trip. I went for 3 days last summer with my sister and we fit in a lot.

[tennisgal]

I like a lot of the suggestions: Boston, Nola, Nashville.
We went to Puerto Rico this spring and enjoyed it. We did a lot of beach and not a lot of touristy stuff....but there was plenty non-beach stuff you could do there. We did it pretty inexpensively as well and it was a direct flight from here

[fusion]

My vote is New Orleans! Fun, different, can be romantic and easy to access. And 4 days is plenty of time to really experience it.

[onehitwonder]

It's a great time of year for Nola and I am happy to answer any questions or help in any way. Jazz Fest is always the last weekend of April and 1st weekend of May. It is an awesome event, but there are lots of other festivals and things to do that time of year. Keep in mind that prices and availability (hotels & restaurants) may be affected those two weekends so plan accordingly.
I would definitely consider wine country, London, a cruise or maybe something in the Carolinas. I love the historic side and restaurants in Charleston and there are many beachy areas easily accessible like Pawley's and Kiawah.

We are going for or 10 year to St. Martin in 2 weeks! We are staying on the French side, but plan to explore the whole island and go to Anguilla.

[lauranicole91]

Cruise! If you like the idea of Hawaii, there are definitely cruises with Hawaii stops!

[sunshineluv]

We plan to go to Turks and Caicos for our 10th in 2020. It is also my 40th . We have been saying it for years!

We may include friends too!

Go to St. Barth's as well.  The beaches are gorgeous there. 

I spend 2 weeks on St. Maartin, Anguilla, and St. Barth's on a girl's trip about a decade ago.  It was a great trip.

Have fun! Sounds like a great trip!

Just to throw something else into the mix. Amsterdam is a fun city, lots of museums and the Keukenhof tulip gardens are open in April. There's also the Heineken brewery.

[teamhayes]

We are also planning a 10 year/40 b day trip and this thread is helpful

We are not sure yet if a couples trip or family trip

Family would be much easier bc let's face it no one will watch 4 kids fir more than 1-2 nights
