    Guided hiking trip. There's some great ones out of the Leavenworth Washington area and you don't have to worry about all the grizzlies like in Glacier. Plus Leavenworth has great beers. It's a Bavarian themed town:-)

    Not sure of your budget or your likes and dislikes but, for budget vacationing and if you want to step back in time a little. I recommend a nice little town Called Branson Missouri. It's a little Nashville as far as music shows and their theme park "Silver Dollar City" takes you back to the 1800's. Also great shopping and eating. Not so much in the way of night life except for the restaurant pubs though

    I like the Beaver Lake/White River areas in arkansas.

    We went there 3 christmases in a row, but I'd like to go in Oct/Nov after season to do some trout/striper fishing.

    I already have a beach vacation planned with my mom for the upcoming year but me and a friend want to go on vacation somewhere. She too is going on a beach vacation so we are trying to think of a cool place to go for a week that is not "beachy". It can be anywhere in the world....

    suggestions?! :smile:

    I am sorry to say that I wonder if you are serious. Because " anywhere in the world " makes no sense for just a week, if you need more than a day to get there another day to come back and about two to three days to get over jetlag. If I only had a week and lived in Texas, I would definitely stay in the US, or go maybe to a non beach place in Mexico. I think I would also enjoy going to Quebec ( 5 hour flight from Texas ) or to New York, Seattle, Portland or Washington for the diversity in food, culture, museums, music and lifestyle etc ( also around a 4-5 hour flight ). If you have a hobby , you could also look into something hobby related. Everywhere else ; if the flight makes you lose a whole days or even more for just a week makes no sense. Who wants to spend the time and money to end up with actually two or three full days in Ireland, or Paris and even less time anywhere in Asia or Australia ?
    Good Luck in deciding !

    This was actually the issue - because we had planned on going to Australia but were going to spend 2 weeks, but decided it was too long of a trip. The trip can be a little longer than a week but not a full 2....

    All of these places sound awesome. thanks for the suggestions!!! we can go for a little over a week, it isn't restricted to just 1 week, but not long enough to push 2 weeks...
