Vacation ideas for Thanksgiving? Six of us (ages 25 to 60) and everyone’s vaccinated. Thought about going to the Caribbean but I guess it’s the wet/hurricane season at that time. We’d be traveling from LA and Chicago and it’s only for a week if that helps. Any places you’ve enjoyed during late November?

Aruba is just south of the hurricane area, so a safe bet for Thanksgiving

It’s been years but we have done St kitts, Dominican, and Cozumel over thanksgiving before. 12 of us same age range. I was in middle school at the time so it was fun for me. All places were all inclusive marriotts and flew from NYC/Boston

Thanksgiving has previously been my favorite time to travel. Hawaii, Mexico, or Virgin Islands would be my recommendations if you only have a week. Portugal also had decent weather in November.

Portugal would be great. Might be a bit far for the people traveling from LA. I would recommend The Azores - probably one of my favorite destinations I’ve been to. I’ll check out the other options you mentioned

Bermuda

Costa Rica!

Airlines typically have business class fare sales (<$2,000 roundtrip) to Europe that week since there’s little business travel.
