Bring her to Southern California, leave her someplace nice in LA, give her your credit card, and go ski Tahoe, Kirkwood, etc.

Your a very wise man. Great idea!

Bite the bullet take her to somewhere warm... Go somewhere with lots of free booze to dull the pain - just in case it dumps snow while your gone...

Then plan a trip to South Amercia that summer...

I get to go somewhere warm every year in April...next year it will most likely be Sanibel/Captiva FL.

I don't know about where you are, but in the Boston area, getting out on a flight in mid-February without weather delays can be risky. In addition, unless you go to southern FL or the Caribbean, I would not count on warm (i.e. summer-like) weather. I've been in Orlando in February and it was in the 50s (yuck).

If you can postpone to April, I've been to FL at that time more times than I can count now, and the weather's consistently warm at that time of year. Plus, you'll have February free for skiing... :)

Sadly, dmc, I had to read that ac ouple of times to get it. I need a vacation.

Plus, I think dmc's got the right idea- Bargain with it- she gets to go someplace warm in the winter, you get to go someplace cold in the summer. Everyone's happy!

My wife's idea was for you to go to a hotel/resort somewhere in ski country that had a spa. I do not know if your wife likes that sort of thing, but at least she could relax/be pampered while you ski.

It's somewhat of a compromise

Just my .02
