I was asked the question of "Where is a nice place to travel to outside of North America in November?"
This is my answer:
Hawaii is always lovely. I have friends in hawaii with a 50' sailboat, they live part time in SF working tech jobs, part time they live on the boat. They will be there and they like visitors if you guys want i can connect you. lexi and i will visit them too.
south america is a mess i don't think you would like it. maybe chile, if you want the south american experience but not the chaos. but i think too cold in november, too close to south pole.
the way to pick your travel destination is look at the globe and divide it into 24 strips. 12 in upper hemisphere and 12 in lower.
for each month, there is an ideal place to be.
in november it is somewhere around florida. so you can draw a line all the way around earth through miai and see where it intersects. weather will be good in all those places.
then draw another line in the souther hemisphere, the same distance rom the equator as miami is.

you can find florida and scrolls your mouse all the way right. turkey, morocco, those places will be nice. and of course boom, there is hawaii in the middle by itself, but same weather as florida.
on the souther hemisphere do the same thing. we know colombia is at the equator so guess the distance from there. we end up in northern chile, peru. and look over to see the fijis, morocco and those places, also nice weather.
at the equator of course there are no seasons, the weather does not change. the way you change weather at the equator is by changing altitude. so in colombia, at the beaches, it is always miserably hot. 100 degrees.
but in the mountains it is perpetually spring. Medellin is the perfect place, weather is always just right for humans. it's 6000' above sea level so temps are 24 degrees lower than sealevel, in the 70s.
and of course your line you are drawing is not just a line, it is a band, it extends south from miami down to puerto rico and turks and caicos. so visualize it that way. but by the time youa re in turks and caicos it's quite hot, so you want to only consider mountains or beach places that far south.
ok hope this helps, happy hunting! i love picking places to travel to like this rather than looking at travel guides. travel guides guarnatee to put you where everyone else goes, toursit places suck. i never go there any more.
