Where would you go in January with a 6MO & 2YO? Wanting to travel, but not sure where to. Based in NY & looking to go international ideally, but not a sit -on-the-beach-for-7-days type of place

How many days do you have? Are you opposed to a cruise? I think certain lines like Disney are much nicer than others, but that can still be an easier way to go international but have an easier time with little ones.

I was about to suggest Niagara Falls, but realized you’re in NY and the falls are also in Buffalo. And that’s not very international.

I have friends who took their 1.5 year old to Hawaii last year and they loved it. They did a mix of nature activities, staying at an all inclusive resort, exploring the city, etc. They did fly from the west coast, so definitely a shorter flight than what you would have.

20+ hours on a flight one way will probably be very rough with a baby and toddler, IMO. Regarding the Australia suggestion.

Australia, where it’s summer then. Koalas and kangaroos for kids and probably Australian Open.

Flying to Australia from NYC with a 6-month old sounds miserable

We are currently looking into this, in Europe we are looking at Italy or Mallorca but could be cold in January.

The Carribean, perhaps Barbados.

Or pop over to Florida and do Disney world.

If you can survive the flight to Greece they absolutely love kids but cannot guarantee great weather in January. My parents own a home there and go frequently.

Latin America could be a good shout actually.

Yeah Disney is a bit manic

Definitely no cruise, and Australia’s a bit tough with the length of the flight. We’ll likely leave on a Weds & come back 1.5 weeks later on the weekend.

Costa Rica or SE Asia

What about Mexico, Guatemala or Costa Rica? Central America is a relatively short flight. There are also a mix of outdoorsy activities, history, and beaches depending on which country/region you pick.
