<p>If I wanted warm and summer I might choose Italy. Maybe Sweden though it would definitely be cooler than southern Italy depending on which month. My sib loves Bali and went to Tahiti this summer and loved it. Actually I don’t know anyone who hasn’t liked Tahiti.</p>
<p>I have not been to Costa Rica, but I am also hoping someone who has been will comment. From what I’ve heard from people who’ve gone on family vacations, it sounds very similar to some of the experiences you had in Hawaii…especially the “adventure” stuff. Maybe you need to start a thread specifically asking about family vacations in Costa Rica.</p>
<p>There have been threads like that. It sounded wonderful. Do a search on this forum.</p>
