Would love to hear some opinions and advice!

My husband and I had the idea of taking a vacation for our wedding anniversary in February. We were originally thinking to do a week or 10 days. My husband had just started looking for a new job when he unexpectedly found an amazing position very quickly, and he will be starting in January. This is relevant because now with a new job, he feels like he needs to wait a little bit before asking to take a 7-10 day vacation, and that a shorter weekend trip would be more appropriate. (But no worries there, we’ll plan a longer trip for the summer!)

If we were to plan a trip for early February, what are some good options for a 4 day long vacation? Totally open to either warm locations or colder locations.

Off the top of my head, some options I’m considering are:

-Mexico City

-Montreal (Is this an insane place to travel in the winter? I personally love cold weather but would like to hear peoples’ thoughts on this. We went to Vienna in the winter recently and loved it, but I believe Montreal is colder)

-Iceland (also maybe insane lol but I’m dying to go. If we don’t go for this winter trip, I’ll definitely go for a summer trip)

US options:

-New Orleans

-Maine (Arcadia, Portland)

-Vermont (Stowe, Burlington)

That’s probably it for US locations unless someone has a great suggestion. We’re in NYC so I’m not necessarily interested in going to a city unless it’s a very “special” feeling city like New Orleans

Thanks in advance!
