As a result of a change in vacation policies, my husband was just informed that he has two weeks of vacation to use or lose before the end of the year. In combination with a pretty nice windfall, we've decided to take the opportunity to go to Europe - in probably not the best season for European travel.
We've both to Europe before, but not together, and we're just casting around for where we might go. We're in our early 60s, and we've been postponing this kind of adventure for too long. We're in pretty good shape, but we're readers, not the X-treme sport type. We live in Maine and are used to cold weather without liking it all that much, but we won't be quite ready for a tropical break just then, I think.
My husband's first suggestion was Southern Spain, where he's been but I haven't. I'm not really drawn to that, but I thought maybe Barcelona and Bilbao. Any suggestions besides Spain?
