My wife & I have been working non-stop on the new business since last summer. She’s announced we’re taking the 1st week of January off and taking a vacation. Where is a good place to go that time of year?
I hear Detroit is nice in January.

International Falls, Minnesota.
Wherever that picture was taken. Looks like heaven to me.
Outside to shovel snow in fabulous Alberta Canada where you will treated to sub kelvin temperatures OR the very fires of hell as we take you on a tour of the oil sands area where our beautiful wilderness has been destroyed. You will eat NOWHERE because every restaurant is closed! COME, be our guest!
Whitehorse, Yukon is pretty nice. 🙂
Kidding – Mike if you are interested my family and some acquaintances of ours own a condo near Manzanillo, Mexico. It is right on the beach and we rent it out. It’s not an all inclusive or a time share so it is a totally do it yourself vacation but it is large, 3 bedrooms with awesome views and rental is not expensive and is in Canadian funds which means with the current conversion to US $ you win. You can email Admin or Stucky for my email addy and contact me if you want more information.
Cheers,
Francis
Go to the Turks and Caicos, Grenada, Dominican Republic (Punta Cana), Cartagena, Colombia (stay at the Santa Clara Hotel or one of the Decameron’s on Isla Baru), or Bahia in Brazil.
If you want quiet good times, go to the west coast of Florida, like Destin. It doesn’t attract the mobs that Miami Beach does in the “season”, and it’s much less expensive than MB or Naples. A friend of mine owns a small vacation home there and often rents it out during the winter months, for a very reasonable price.
Wait one week. Don’t take the fist week of January off, as the college kids haven’t gone back to school nor are many of the little kids back in school yet.
You’ll find that the sunny, warm places are more tranquil if you take the second week of January to go on vacation. Fewer kids and more room around the pool/beach.
St Lucia (it basically looks like the picture) and stay with the Sandals resorts (there are a few on the island).
me and my wife were saving up to go there again in teh near future (we went there on our honeymoon) but the butt-fucking that is obamacare with sky high deductibles and high out of pocket costs sapped that fund a bit too much so the timing of the trip has to be pushed out.
It’s a toss up. Juntura, Oregon for chuker hunting, or Smith River for steelhead. Personally I’d choose the Smith, as my wife and I did for our honeymoon 30 some years ago.
If you are driving, come down to St Augustine, FL. It’s beautiful. But ya, wait until the second week of January like the other guy said.
And Francis, one of my good friends at work owns a bunch of property in manzanillo, Mexico. Can’t say enough good things about it. He is a white guy that was born in Mexico, his parents still love there, full time, and absolutely love it. He even has Mexican passport as well as an American one. He is always trying to get me to buy property down there, but it’s pretty difficult without the Mexican passport and it’s gotten expensive lately.
By the time January comes around you most likely won’t be going anywhere. If the election chaos TPTB have planned goes viral, movement will be restricted and at your own risk.
If they fail in creating chaos I would suggest you stay close to home(no more than 2 hrs away) and find a nice place to relax for a few days. Travel has become nothing but stressful and hard work which is just what you are trying to relieve yourself of.
yep 2nd or 3rd week of January to miss the crowds is best. Punta Cana or West Coast Costa Rica good options.
Unless you want to do the Christmas/New Years on a beach thing, then the resorts in Mexico have great options.
Don’t go anywhere. Save your money .Be prudent but if you must go somewhere go the Johnny Cash ,George Jones Museum in Nashville.
If Killary is elected, the deeply buried fallout shelter of your choice; alternately, any convenient graveyard.
If Trump is elected, someplace in the US, because yankees aren’t going to be welcome elsewhere.
If Sanders is elected, anywhere OTHER THAN the US, because the US will look like Caracas.
Minot, ND.
Tuktoyaktuk, Canada can be nice too.
Key West if you like to fish and party.
ILuvCO2, definitely on the list!
Oz is great but a week is not enough for the trip. Caribbean?
how about hosting a family reunion. a very special affair, becoming rare. when it goes to hell, what is left.
I hear philly is nice in january.
I think chicago and gator have good ideas. The good old USA is safest and most economical. The upper parts of florida on both coasts can be astonishingly nice in january.
A nice place in the Florida keys is Tranquility Bay Resort on Marathon Key. Be sure to have a few meals at “The Island” restaurant up the road and try their deep-fried key lime pie.

Looks great Rise Up!
Mike- Key West? If you’ve never been you should go at least once. The touristy parts are like SF used to be in the 70’s and Bourbon St is and what I understand Times Square used to be like. You know that special smell of spilled beer, urine and vomit baked on sticky hot pavement for days. And when the cruise ships dock the town overflows w/ obese, fanny pack wearing tourists complaining about how this is not like home. But if you go, do not miss the the ferry day trip to the Dry Tortugas and Fort Jefferson. Some really nice shallow water snorkeling but take your own mask and snorkel.
