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 {source here, and here}
