the facts...
Best
suited for:
US couples who do not want to travel too far
from home and/or are more comfortable traveling
in their own neighborhood. Non-US couples
who want to explore the diversity of North
America.
When
to go:
North America has a wide range of climatic conditions.
The "best" time of year to visit will
depend on your travel interests. For skiers
or winter sports enthusiasts, January through
March is ideal. Florida's beaches are most comfortable
from the end of November through the end of
April, although temperatures can actually get
cool in December and January. For non-skiers,
the Rockies are most appealing between June
and October. The California coast is lovely
year round, but wine country is nicest in the
spring and fall. French Canada and New
England are best visited from May through October.
Accommodations:
There is a broad range of accommodations in
North America,
from full-service beach resorts, to quaint
inns, to exclusive hideaways. If you have a
particular preference or interest, the odds are
you will be able to find it somewhere.
Dining:
Food choices will depend on your specific
destination. In more cosmopolitan
locations, expect to find whatever you are in
the mood for, from barbeque chicken to
Vietnamese Pho. Of course, certain regions
specialize in certain cuisines. You will
find fabulous French food in Quebec City, tasty
Tex-Mex in Santa Fe, gourmet wild game in the
Rockies, and wonderful wines in the Napa Valley.
Special
Activities:
Dramatic coastlines, small towns, a diversity
of cultures, plenty of pampering, spectacular
outdoor scenery and activities, gourmet dining,
incredible arts.
