Aruba is still very warm at the beginning of December (you can go outside in the evening without a sweater).

We've gone to Cancun then and it's hit or miss - one year it was a little chilly, the next year it was really warm.

Re: need vacation ideas for Dec...

you can get a passport in time for your trip. here is a list of places where you can get it within two weeks. just scroll down to the ny location, it's in the city, but if you can do it, it might be worth your while.

I don't think you can go to PR or St Thomas without a passport anymore so if you don't get one, Hawaii is an amazing place!

Re: need vacation ideas for Dec...

if you go right away you should be able to get a PP by then - you can rush it and pay a lil extra.

deanna you can get your passport in time! go to the post office and tell them when you need it by. you can have it in 2 weeks if you wanted to pay extra!

but without a passport, go to St. johns!! my fav island!! its so amazingly beautiful! st. thomas was ok but very over run with tourists. st. john is so secluded and private and amazingly beautiful!!! and all the islands are just a short boat ride away to do a ton of stuff

you can also go to California its warm out there. theres a ton to do there! you can even fly to SF and rent a car and drive up the coast

or theres always Vegas

I thought there was a new rule passed recently. I don't know where I got that from That gives you more options I've never been to either so I can't give a rec, but Hawaii is the best, it's just far!

My vote is for Hawaii- I'm not an expert on Caribbean islands, but from what I've seen, they don't compare in terms of the physical beauty....plus it's a long plane ride, so do it now before kids enter the picture!Chat Icon

FYI I just got my passport it took 2 weeks without expediating it at all!

You totally have time!
And Aruba is beautiful.
ETA: We went to the PO on 9/20 for a 11/5 flight and we have had it for a couple weeks already, it was ready in no time!

Re: need vacation ideas for Dec...

The main question here is what kind of vacation you're looking for. Hawaii would be great if you're looking to do a lot of touring and have an action packed trip. On teh downside, you'll have less time for relaxation and hours and hours of travel time. If you guys are really looking to sit on a beach and relax, and maybe do a few excusrsions, than I would stick to the Carribean. It's way easier as far as traveling goes and will still be a welcome warm break from NY winters.

I would go with Aruba or Bermuda, I'm not a huge fan of the Bahamas.
