Travel question

[blinker]

Summer vacation is turning out to be way hard to schedule this year and Kelly's parents are ditching us for Christmas, so we are thinking about a big vacation at the end of December. We may do something within the US, but we're also thinking about non-US destinations.

The one thing I want to avoid is going someplace where everything is closed because of Christmas. So far, that has me thinking of Israel or possibly somewhere in Asia. I know that I have some fairly well-traveled readers. Any recommendations for where to go or where to definitely not go at the end of December?

It's still good here in July and August, it's just slightly more likely to rain and busier with tourists - whereas May/June it's still relatively quiet.

My favourite Xmas when I was a kid was the one we spent in Goa. It was beautiful weather but not too hot and I don't think anywhere closed. But it is a long trip from the US and I dunno how much time you guys will have off.
