My wife and I are looking for vacation recs in August. It's safe to say we're "weekend" warriors and are looking for a vacation where we can have interesting sports actives but also be able to pamper ourselves as needed, with a spa, pool, gourmet food, etc. Read: when we're not busting a lung, we'd rather not rough it.
My wife is an avid trail runner. She used to play vball, I still do. I run with her but only because of the cardio benefit. I mostly cycle: cyclocross in the winter and road/commuting during other periods. I'm doing a 6-12 hour adventure race this summer and trying to convince the wife to do a sprint w/ me as well.
We've been looking for "adventure" camps that incorporate training w/ a simulated race at the end. Unfortunately, August is a bit late in the season. We'd consider similar types of sports camps as well, but not water related. We get seasick very easily.
We've thought about going somewhere like Utah or Colorado where she can run and and I can ride (road/MTB). Together we could ride, hike, run, rock climb provided the area is suited to that.
We do Hawaii a lot (Oahu, Maui, Kauai) so we'd prefer something different. Though a beach location is ideal. Arizona is probably out of the question, too hot.
Any suggestions for locations, hotels/resorts, tour groups/guides, etc? It doesn't necessarily have to be in the US, but we've only got a week and would rather not waste the down time on the plane.
Thanks.
