Okay, at 21 years old, I've never seen snow. I've lived in southwest Louisiana all my life, and my family never travelled much. And as my work as a translator placed me mainly in Latin America, the opportunity has never presented itself. The closest I've come was a few glimpses of snow-capped peaks when I was in Switzerland a few summers ago, but that's not enough. I want to play in it and throw snowballs and build snowpeople and go skiing and ice-skate on a real pond. And wear hats and scarves and mittens and all that cool stuff that I never get to use down here.
So, DH and I decided to postpone our anniversary vacation that we planned to take in August, and head North in January as a combination late anniversary/my birthday trip. I'm not sure where we want to go, although I know we'll want to stay in the States (or maybe Canada, if it doesn't turn out to be too much more expensive). So, any recommendations? We're looking for a resort-type place...maybe something all-inclusive? Definitely want to try skiing or snowboarding, but we don't need anything too advanced, since we're total amatuers. Someplace beautiful, romantic...I don't know, a spa would be nice...maybe a hot spring type area...I'm open to ideas.
Any suggestions? I don't want to take out a second mortgage to pay for it, but we do have a while to save up, so I'd like something really nice.
TIA!
