Three weeks and counting to Autumn, and you realize you need a quick getaway before the stresses of the holiday season is upon you or not….but will use that as an excuse to sell to your significant other the idea of a late summer vacation –  kinda like these places.

Disclaimer: Some of the destinations listed are not ideal for 2017  due to Hurricane Irma, as well as the  severe air quality in Oregon and nearing state. I have listed instead alternatives from this list: Scandinavian countries, Scotland, and Greece

Krakow, Poland

Montauk, New York

Portland, Maine 

Reykjavik, Iceland

Athens, Greece as an alternative to avoid the Caribbean

Edinburgh, Scotland – is always a good idea
