I don't know.
I'm use to go to Holland.
Not such good weather these days, i think.

I'm in a similar position and Madeira is high on my list, although technically - being Portugal - it is part of Europe.

I'm also planning a trip to Madagascar this year or next but research has suggested at least two weeks are needed.

I guess it depends what you are after, how about the Caribbean?

Capetown

Good weather

Beautiful scenery

No jetlag

Relatively cheap once you get there.

Considerations would include

Canary Islands, Furterventura, but not Caleta de Fusta. Virually guaranteed sunshine and your own different beach every day. Just accept the wind, its warm and pleasant

Dubai. May is not too hot. The locals migrate to Europe in July and August when it gets too hot. Lived in Sharjha and Abu Dhabi but not Dubai, and this time of year it is very pleasant.

Goa/Delhi. Relaxing beaches in Goa but you can't go that far without a visit to the sights in Delhiand Agra, even if limited to a week. May will beat the monsson and it won't be too hot. Last time I wemt it was April and beautifully warm in Goa but a bit more dry heat in Delhi

Mauritius

Caravan in Aberystwyth.

A mate has one for rent.

You said not in Europe...

Camping in our Micks garden !

Thanks, Capetown and Dubai are definitely on the list, can you recommend specific hotels? I am also considering Mexico which seems to be pleasantly warm and dry at that time of year.
I went to Mauritius last year on honeymoon and stayed at Le Touessrok, so I'm looking for another destination this year.

Yellowstone?

John lots of cultural places in Mexico as well it's on my list of WTDBYD.

Stephen B Bang on! Go there before it becomes a real hot spot.?

Paris in spring is Wonderful.


Fritz Von You know it makes sense

N.B. And no, I didn't mean Texas, Long distance trip will mean in reality you'll have four days on location, possible stress, travel bullshit, etc, etc, chill out after three days, 1 day fun, plan to return (argument) Paris weather in May is fine, duck from cafe to gallery to cafe to hotel to nightlife/sun studio ?
