Northern lights hunting. I am addicted!

Being in southern CA, I also like escaping to the cold places as that is more unique (to me) than any tropical spot.

going to ditto this one as a southern californian who lived in Norway for a while ages ago. I highly recommend not going to Lofoten (very touristy) and instead (for Norway at least) either going to Tromso and renting a car to drive to Senja and surrounding islands and then if you can...find someone with a public cabin membership and xcountry ski or hike out to a public cabin overnight (you will need to light a fire on the stove and know it's an outhouse, but it's fine and 0 light pollution). Alternatively if you have the time and money....the Wideroe flight to Svalbard is worth it.

Just spent 4 days in US Virgin Islands with my 19YO daughter. It was a great trip. Best beaches. Great snorkeling, clear blue water, nice restaurants, nice hotels. I’ve been to Hawaii a bunch of times, this was better.
