Cold weather or Hot on Vacation?

[Carta]

Unfortunately I live in PA (family reasons)..I tell everyone I don't travel north of NE, PA....Give me the sun, humidity, heat, and beaches.. As long as I'm lying on the beach or poolside, I'm in Heaven..Along with many COLD beers.

How 'bout U?

First Christmas in Hawaii and when I vacation, I’ll probably just go to another island.

Either or. I love skiing and the beach.

Me beach. DH cold (skiing)

I travel mostly Spring thru Fall, rarely in Winter. So wherever the wanderlust takes me is good. Usually a warmer area, with a beach.

I live in the NE as well.

I prefer warmer weather for a vacation- but not too warm. I do love to be in the water.But I like mountains also.

Ironically we vacation mostly in the NE in the summer or Fall- sometimes late spring. But farther north than we are. Though soon we will be living in that area and our timeshare is about an hour away from the new house and the other one about 2 hours away we are going to divest ourselves of. LOL!

Don't ski either. I do have snowshoes- ha! ha! But I do not like to leave our house to go away in winter as too many things can go wrong.

It's hard to ski when it is sunny and 80 degrees. Just sayin'...

Prefer warmer weather and hot enough for me to enjoy the ocean/pool.

Warm, but occasionally go to cooler climate for travel

We live in Minnesota so any winter travel is to places like the Caribbean where we can be assured of hot weather! Before kids, we were skiers, so did a few Colorado and Utah trips to ski, but when we were limited to winter school breaks we decided warm weather was more important.

I prefer warm, not really hot, weather. Living in the Great White North (Central Ontario) we have already had 2 months of snow on the ground and frigid temperatures. I have had enough! After we retired we decided to get out of the cold and snow for at least 3 winter months, but before that we always went somewhere south (FL or the Caribbean) for at least a week in the winter. DH decided after our first winter of retirement that St Augustine Florida (where our condo is) wasn't hot enough in January, he likes to be in shorts, a t-shirt and sandals all day, every day. So beginning in January 2016 we have been going to Belize for the winter. The temperatures are usually too hot for me (+90*F) by March down there but I just keep thinking of the cold and snow at home. I would be happy with temps in the 70's F. during the daytime.

I guess if I had to choose between spending a week or two in really hot temperatures (mid 90s-100+), or teens-20s, I would choose cold. I probably wouldn’t be spending much time outside anyway and I can layer up and stay warm for a short period. My favorite place is the beach but I don’t usually go in the summer because of the heat. I love going from November-March. Much nice weather and a lot fewer people! So, I guess I like going to a warm weather locations in the winter.

Prior to kiddo.....we would be in New Hampshire as much as possible to ski. She doesn't love it as much as we do though.
As I get old....I realize a beach vacation is SO MUCH EASIER to pack for than a ski vacation.

My husband thinks I'm crazy. A couple years ago we had a ski trip planned and 3 days before we were headed out I told him, change of plans....we are headed to St. Thomas.

The problem in my head. I have always said, "the year I don't ski, is the year I get old". So, I usually force a ski week, just because..I'm not ready to get old.

I love snow...I love ice. I don't think there is anything prettier than snow covered trees sparkling in the sun. I love to walk fields and look for the paw prints of the critter that walked by earlier.

We lived in Minnesota for 35 years and most of winters we vacationed in warm places for at least a week;, last 12 years Christmas / New Year TS on St Maarten. Since we moved to Colorado two years ago we take vacation in warm places in November and enjoy skiing January-April. We love both, beaches and ski!

In the winter we head to Mexico, Hawaii, or Downunder. Actually we go to Hawaii any time of the Year. Europe tends to be fall or Spring. We tend to spend summers at home.
