10 Destinations for Now or Later

If you've been stuck inside from the rain there's a good chance you've been daydreaming about destinations for as soon as you can get away. 
Domestic
1. Lake Havasu, AZ
Lake Havasu is a beautiful destination located in western Arizona, known for its clear blue waters and stunning desert scenery. The lake is perfect for boating, swimming, and fishing, and visitors can also explore nearby attractions such as the London Bridge, which was transported to Lake Havasu from England in the 1960s.

2. New Orleans: New Orleans, also known as the Big Easy, is where Southern Hospitality finds its home. (For folks who are making a first-time trip to the south, "bless your heart" is not a compliment.) Visitors can explore the historic French Quarter, which is home to many charming shops, restaurants, and bars, or take a stroll through the beautiful Garden District. Disclaimer: You may not be getting out of the rain going here. 

For the best nightlife experience in NOLA, from this staff writer's experience, start your night out in the residential area and catch the trolley to Bourbon St. with some locals.  

3. Colorado Springs: Colorado Springs is a beautiful city located in central Colorado, surrounded by stunning natural landscapes including the towering Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods rock formations. Visitors can enjoy a range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, and skiing, or explore the city's many cultural attractions, such as the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.

4. Miami, Florida:
Miami is a vibrant city located on the southeastern coast of Florida, known for its warm weather, beautiful beaches, and lively nightlife. Visitors can soak up the sun on the famous South Beach, or explore the many cultural attractions in the city, such as the Pérez Art Museum Miami and the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. The city is also famous for its delicious cuisine, which features a blend of Latin American, Caribbean, and Southern influences. Visitors can sample a range of dishes such as ceviche, Cuban sandwiches, and key lime pie, or enjoy a refreshing mojito at one of the city's many bars and clubs.

5. Joshua Tree: Joshua Tree National Park is a stunning desert park located in Southern California, covering over 790,000 acres of land.

International

1. Barcelona, Spain: Barcelona is a city with a rich history and culture, famous for its stunning architecture, warm-water beaches, and vibrant nightlife. The city is home to many landmarks designed by the renowned architect Antoni Gaudi, including the famous Sagrada Familia cathedral and Park Guell. Other must-see attractions include Las Ramblas, a lively pedestrian street filled with street performers, shops, and cafes, and the Gothic Quarter, a maze of narrow streets and medieval buildings. As you explore you will find a mix of folks speaking Spanish and Catalan. 

Food lovers will also enjoy Barcelona's delicious cuisine, from traditional Spanish tapas to Paella. Sangria is a go-to drink of choice for late night socializing, which will inevitably turn into next-day socializing for locals and jet-lagged tourists are energized from their daytime siestas.

It's worth noting that for this staff writer, the most enduring mental image from a Barcelona trip is the full moon over the water.   

2. Da Nang, Vietnam: Da Nang is a coastal city in central Vietnam that has become increasingly popular among tourists in recent years. The city is home to many beautiful beaches, including the famous My Khe beach, as well as stunning natural attractions such as the Marble Mountains, Ba Na Hill, and the Hai Van Pass.

3. Cancun, Mexico
Cancun is a popular spring break destination known for its beautiful beaches, lively nightlife, and all-inclusive resorts. Visitors can spend their days soaking up the sun on the beach, swimming in the clear blue waters, or exploring nearby attractions such as the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza.
Cancun is also home to many restaurants and bars, offering a variety of cuisine from traditional Mexican dishes to international favorites. The city's nightlife is particularly lively, with many clubs and bars offering music and entertainment late into the night.

4. Seceda, Italy: Seceda is a stunning mountain range located in the Dolomites of northeastern Italy, near the picturesque town of Ortisei in the South Tyrol region, the only place in the world where Latin is still commonly known and spoken (usually alongside Italian, German, and English).
