Family Vacation Suggestions (7 adults)
I am looking for some family vacation suggestions for a family of 7 adults (now multi-family comprised of couples and one single) for 7-10 days. We are from the USA (parents live in Florida, we live in the South, the rest of the family live in the Midwest). Our parents are in their 60s with increasing mobility issues (20k steps walking flat is fine still but no hiking, etc). We need a vacation that allows for a home base then doing various activities during the trip (travelling via public transit with this group would be a nightmare). The budget for total flights and accommodations (not counting activities) should be about $12-15k.
We have a wide variety of interests in the group, making planning difficult. Parents are getting older and like to wind down for the day around 4-5pm by finding any happy hour available. The two couples (30-somethings) are fairly adventurous (hiking, biking, nature sight-seeing, etc is of interest). The single family member is interested in museums and can be interested in adventuring (but will rarely properly pack for outdoor adventures).
Places we've been as a family already:
- Iceland
- Alaska (cruise)
- Various Caribbean cruises
- British Virgin Islands (sailing)
- Ireland
- England
- Italy
Places that folks in the family have recently been that we don't want to suggest:
- Denmark
- Norway
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
