Fancy Florida and Caribbean cruise but I know it’s not the best time of year to go, can go for upto 4 weeks

Canada! So much to see - several fabulous cities, wonderful landscapes, wildlife (including whale watching and cruises), great outdoor activities if that’s your thing. And July and August are a good season to go.

Really, just a natural environment that’s completely different to any I’ve experienced before. It looks beautiful in the videos I’ve seen.

Greek island hopping - but I love the heat.

I'd do Norway personally

July / August is obviously the worst time of year to take a holiday because it’s peak season in most places, which means the highest prices, worst overcrowding, longest queues, other people’s children everywhere etc.

I would consider South Africa, which is an amazing place to visit at any time of year. It’s their winter, but it’s still warm & sunny in most places & if you must travel in July/ August you can get away from peak season hell.

I’ve been on three Caribbean cruises in July and had good weather.

The French Alps. So much to do, hate lying on a beach.

If I had four weeks and my children were a bit older I’d visit several places in Italy, travelling by train. If I were going without children, Thailand. I can’t think of anywhere I’d go for 4 weeks now, with a 5 year old and 1 year old. They’d cope with a week, maybe 10 days away
