Anniversary Destination Ideas ..

lindsayp · Kenneth Cole

what about skiing in Switzerland or something like that? I know that's Europe, but I don't know of many people who can say they've done that!

Skiing in the Alps was WONDERFUL. Stopping mid-day at a mountain lodge for hot chocolate, skiing up to your room, seeing Mt. Blanc in the distant...aaah, memories.

Some other ideas:

Beach vacation in Thailand

Cook Islands

Virgin Islands

Seychelles

Trekking Annapurna

The sky-high train from China to Tibet

Marshall Islands for scuba diving with the sharks

Quebec City, Canada

Alaskan Cruise

Egypt with Nile cruise and scuba diving in the Red Sea

Let me know if you want any more ideas... I've got tons.

my husband and I did a road trip from SF up the coast to Crater Lake in OR, and back down the Sierra Nevada mts. to Yosemite in June - it was a lot of fun. I would love to go to from Seattle to BC - sounds like a fun trip (no pun intended - "trip" - BC - ha ha... or maybe not...)

there is also a thread I posted a link to for beaches that had a ton of good info:

if you go through the whole thread it covers geographically closer locals as well (I'm pretty sure at least!)

Three destinations that I would recommend are:

-Morocco

-Montreal

-Salzburg (Europe, I know, but a bit off the beaten path)

I'm not sure what sort of vacation you're looking for, but all three destinations are truly wonderful in my experience and popped into my head as great places for "romantic" vacations to celebrate an anniversary!

Alaska would be an interesting and beautiful place to go. It's better during the summer months though.

I 2nd Salzburg if you havn't been there allready. My friend went over this summer and loved it. She wants to go back again soon.

If you want to stay on the west coast, I would recommend Napa/Sonoma. You'll have it all to yourself since it's off season. Or, you could go check out the wine country in Oregon...I've heard really good things about Portland plus the pinot vineyards. Happy anniversary early!

Well, I live in Seattle and travel to Canada pretty frequently. There is definitely a lot of fun stuff to do in Seattle and southern British Columbia. Do you ski or like to hike? A lot of the best activities around this area are outdoorsy, IMO. Whister, BC is a fun town to hang out in during the winter. It is really a ski town, but there is good nightlife and some decent shopping too.

I dunno, I love living in the Northwest, but I never think it would be a very fun place to go on vacation. Feel free to PM if you have other questions about a trip out here.
