I need your help in helping a good friend select a TS location. First, a bit of background...she's a great friend who is in desperate need of a vacation after taking care of her divorced, elderly, infirm parents the past few years. She has limited resources, so I'm offering her a week at any of my Marriotts or exchange thru II. She has the II book, but is at a loss to select a location because of her travel preferences.
Unlike DH and I, who up to this point, use our TSs for rest and relaxation, she's interested in cultural, historical, antiquities, churches, etc. She is not into fun in the sun, outdoors stuff or relaxation on vacation! Two of her best vacations were New Orleans and a tour of Mexico (Mexico City, Tasco, ...de Allende, etc) and she'd like something similar, using the TS as a base.
She'll be traveling by herself. She'll rent a car if absolutely necessary, but her ideal is deciding on the tour brochures in the hotel lobby and getting on the bus!
We're thinking Europe is out because of the awful exchange rate, but if that's not the case, suggestions are welcome. She'll travel in the off season, spring or fall.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
