Seeking Suggestions for a Week in October

I am looking to do something in October for about a week, just land, no cruise.

I want to use some of my Southwest rewards and I want to fly non-stop from Austin.

I have done some research and there are several options. Open to all of them.

I could go to Cabo, Cancun or Puerto Vallarta in Mexico.

I could go to Puerto Rico.

In the United States I could go to Orlando, Reno-Tahoe, or Denver.

I could go to Boston and in this case would cruise from Boston to Canada.

All appeal to me.

Would love feedback from anyone who has been to any of these places.

I would say no to Orlando or Puerto Rico in October. It is still hurricane season.

That might affect how I thought about Cancun as well. I'm not as familiar with the storm season for Cabo or Puerto Vallarta so not sure about them.

New England is gorgeous in October. From Boston, you’d have easy access to beautiful scenery and foliage throughout the region - I would recommend Maine in particular.
