Hawaii. Well at least it's direct for me and seemingly everyone I know in OR goes there between Jan-Feb to get away from the Mizzle, Gray and cold of the PNW.

Gators are good, but won't they all be hibernating or whatever in February?

I was trying to "big" us up. A bit of exaggeration can't hurt can it?

I'd second all that! My brother has visited me in the Bay Area several times, and most recently visited me in Scottsdale; I was expecting him to be disappointed but he absolutely loved it, and wants to come back! Sedona is beautiful. You can drive north into Utah and the beautiful parks there, though the weather may be questionable. Around Phoenix, you have the wonderfully funky Cave Creek, and lots of gorgeous hiking in the hills north of Scottsdale. You can drive east to Show Low through gorgeous canyons (weather check) or down to Tucson, and further south and then east to Bisbee. Another drive I love is to go to Santa Fe, NM ... but that is a long haul and I'm not sure what the weather is like in Feb.

I would definitely consider the parks in Utah, though I do know it can be cold at that time.

New Orleans sounds fun too!

Re: February Vacation
 

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. We had a serious look at New Orleans, but decided that it wasn't a particularly kid friendly holiday. We also seriously looked at Charleston/Savannah and although it sounds very pretty, didn't think there was enough to do to keep us busy for a week (there's only so many houses we can look at.)

Really liked the sound of Arizona parks, but flights were crazy expensive, especially as no-one I have miles with flies to the airports we needed. Plus I planned a couple of routes and we were looking at driving 900ish miles, and frankly I can't be bothered.

Texas, well it's just shit isn't it?:scarper:

So basically we took the easy and cheap option and in the tradition of true English folk we decided to go to Orlando:o Although, I promise not to want to move there after our trip.

Re: February Vacation
 

"Cheap"? :confused:

I assume you'll be making all your own meals and not visiting any of the theme parks and attractions then? :unsure:

Re: February Vacation
 

employee perks make this about the cheapest vacation we can take;)

Re: February Vacation
 

Perfect time of year, weather-wise. Have fun.
