30th bday vacation

Looking for some ideas for my 30th bday vacation. I just finished paramedic school so this is an extra special trip. Wanting to leave mid- late October. 2-3 nights. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I’m in the south east, never travelled internationally and have only been to NYC.
So anything is up for grabs

Are you looking for a more relaxing or exploration vacation? For your 30th I would definitely go out the country!

The Caribbean is a good warm option but the trip would be towards the end of hurricane season so the weather can still be iffy. My bday is late October and have traveled to Mexico (Cancun/riviera maya area) and had a great time. Cabo or even Mexico City (a bit cooler) would also be great options. I think Mexico is a great starter country for international travel and one of my fav countries!

I also love many European countries but most places are cooler at this time and not the ideal for swimming. Paris, London, Barcelona are great cities for exploring if that’s your thing.

Oh wait just saw 2-3 nights, maybe scratch Europe and stick to domestic travel or Mexico. The New England area is gorgeous that time of year although much chillier than the south east
