You and the wife had a ball doing the hostel thing in NYC, remember? I say drive somewhere warm(er), like Myrtle Beach or Charleston. If she's worried about the drive, tell her to pop a Unisom (my wife calls it getting into her "time machine"), and that you'll wake her when you get there. Added bonus: You can listen to whatever you want on the radio the whole trip. If you camp and plan to eat in the car along the way, you'd be amazed how little a nice, warm winter trip can cost. How do you think I went to Clearwater all those Spring Trainings when I was unemployed? Heck, I just spent 3 days in CA for $120.

You've (hopefully) got a long married life in front of you. Also remember, you don't have to spend every minute of your vacation together. My parents rented a cabin in in CO last year and spent every AM walking together, then my mom would stick around and read in the afternoon while my dad went out for more hardcore biking/hiking. Can you camp on a beach with hiking opportunities? (Assateague? Cumberland Island Natl Seashore? The Everglades? Big Sur?) Stay in an inexpensive cabin where one of you can chill with a good novel and the other can keep exploring ? (PATC? Vacation Rentals by Owner?) Backpack into some park for a few miles, set up camp, and do nothing/explore as you desire once you're away from it all? (Dolly Sods? Shenandoah?) Now I want to plan my next vacation!
