Looking for somewhere with decentish weather in November, interesting, good for taking snaps and not super pricey.
Budget for travel and accomm £1500ish, and would like to keep spending under about 500 a week.
2-3 week duration
Current ideas off top of my head are...
1) SE Asia tour
2) American road trip across the wouth (Miami to Cali?)
3) Cuba tour (been to Cuba before, but just Havana, kind of keen to return before yanks ruin it)
4) Guatemala/Peru (STA have interesting tours here, but dunno what Peru weather is like at that time)
Went to Argentina last Nov, but went a bit pete tong with my mate ending up in hospital for a week.
Feel free to run riot with other ideas, but am relatively risk averse after last year.
Getting shot in Rio not top of to do list.
Fire away gents!

SE Asia will always be a good value option, plenty to see and you can live on virtual fresh air money-wise but it depends how much of the region you have already seen. Saying that you could easily get right into Laos or Myanmar and get off the usual tourist trail.
Peru is getting into the off-season by November, but it is still a good option. The major off-season is at the start of the year normally. Guatemala is definitely something different, in fact I had a customer book to go there last week. He looked at a 16 day route from Guatemala City up to Mexico, but you can easily go the other way to finish in Costa Rica or Belize perhaps.
The US roadtrip is something I've always wanted to do, but could you get a really decent car to get the proper experience within budget? A lump of Yank muscle would have to be on the menu for me, plenty of companies that do these though so it might be possible especially as it isn't the middle of peak season.
Cuba again can be done on a minimal budget and although I've not been there myself I know several regulars in this forum have and it comes recommended
Let me know if you need tour availability and prices, just drop me an email
