Golden Anniversary Ideas

[greg63]

The wife has put up with me for 41.5 years now and I want to do something special for our golden anniversary, but being the typical male that I am have nearly no imagination as to what are the best 5 star vacation spots in the US. Yeah I could do a google search but I want to hear from anyone here who have personal experience with such places.

Help a fellow Chiefs fan out???

This has been explained. I want to make it special and I am saving a little at a time.

The downside is it's not a super organic way of seeing a country - you're largely just hitting the touristy spots - but it's a pretty stress free way to see some pretty cool stuff.

Random example:

I've never been on one of these cruises but we did explore the Rhine river valley when I lived there. It's freaking awesome.

Based on this I'd consider Sedona

Good combo of beautiful nature setting with an abundance of amazing access points, high end lodging/shopping, spas, art galleries, etc. It checks a lot of the boxes you've listed

There's some pros and cons of Sedona in June though. Its considered a shoulder month in that peak season is March-May and monsoon season is June-August. So in June it will be less crowded and expensive but you could run into some rain and it can start touching 90 (although lows will still be in the 50s).

I suggest some virtual reality goggles . She can go anywhere in the world and it's 100% like YOU R THERE. While she's wearing those you can sit on the sofa and drink beer. Win Win!
