    I was going to suggestion the NC/Virginia/West Virginia mountains depending on what you're looking for. Ashville is becoming pretty big on cycling. We're actually planning to take a winter vacation there when we can afford a vacation again. I want to learn to snowboard, and hubby figures he can still ride his mountain bike with the snow.

    I've been to Virginia/West Virginia/North Carolina mountains in November and it's great.

    Also had a fabulous trip to Spain/Portugal in November. Less crowded, nice weather.

    Definitely DON'T come to Belize if you like beer! We have one kind, Belikin, brewed and bottled here. A country-wide monopoly, pretty much. A few other imports (but nothing that interesting, I'm talking Heinikin and Red Stripe -- no microbrews) available by bottle at very expensive prices. Mexican beer is outlawed here.

    A very sad state of affairs. I miss a variety of beers very much indeed. Not to mention wine!

    I live only 30 minutes from big sur and let me tell you that November here is my favorite time of year! All the wineries have just harvested, the weather is wonderful. And there are so many nice places to stay. You could stay in Cambria which is a great beachy mountain town just south of big sur. They have the Cambria pines lodge which is way cool. Plenty of biking things, hiking things, eating things! You would love it! So romantic! If you need any more info please feel free to PM and I will help you find things out. There is an airport in San Luis obispo which is 35 minutes of beautiful drive to Cambria. Also you could stay in Morro Bay. I live right next to Morro Bay. Great beach town with tons of places to stay as well. But Cambria is more romantic and it is some of the most beautiful hwy 1 driving. Can I gush anymore?

    I love to go to the ocean in the winter.... little beach towns are deserted, everything is kind of moody and atmospheric - sometimes a little stormy, but that can be fun too. The only thing you can't do is swim and since I'm not a big sunbather - beach swimmer, but love to walk and explore, I think it's great.

    My husband and I did a 3 day weekend down on Oregon's beaches one November - over Veteran's day. It's not really a place I like in the summer - crowded, touristy, tacky but in winter it has a whole different vibe. The only thing is we really do have a lack of sunlight up this way come the darker months.... It will get dark early. We also did North Carolina, along the outer banks in early March - loved it - we basically had the whole place to ourselves and there weren't any mosquitoes yet.

    After looking at a ton of options, I think we are going with Costa Rica. Airfare is really affordable out of Florida and it will be the end of the rainy season, right before the dry season so we can get some really good deals. Going to opt to be more in the mountains/ rain forest/ volcano area over the beaches. Figure we will choose an actual spot this summer, but we have the country narrowed down!(it ended up being between Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala and it could still change between those 3, but Costa Rica seems the best as of now)

    My brother's ex girlfriend's daughter helps to run this place. I've heard very nice things about it. (Costa Rica)
