Good vacation spots with a newborn?

Is it even a good idea to go on vacation with a newborn, around 3-4 months?

Fil asked us what we want for xmas, and gave us a very generous price range, so we thought it would be really nice to take a vacation, and ask fil to come with us, we dont see him often, and if would be nice to spend time with him, and for him to be able to spend time with the baby. Cant think of anywhere that would be good to go with a baby. We were thinking London, but dont know if thats such a hot idea considering the long flight...

Any suggestions, comments, is a vacation a terrible idea?

What about an island type vacation - like puerto rico, aruba, st thomas, etc. Before our cruise last year we spent Thanksgiving day and the following day at the Intercontinental in San Juan and there were tons of families with infants.

I agree with the PP maybe on an island. We went to Ft. Lauderdale with DD at 3 months and she was a complete angel. Slept almost the entire plan ride-people couldn't believe there was a baby on the plane. This is a good age to travel b/c they will sleep most of the trip. Enjoy!

take advantage of you DC being so little yet, you can really go anywhere you want....in another couple of years the vacation will have to be toddler-friendly!

We took DD to Puerto Rico with us when she was about 5 months old and it was great! She was little so she still slept alot and didn't crawl yet so we managed to actually relax sitting by the pool.

We went to newport, ri when our son was 2 months old, and had a really good time. We only stayed for three nights, but we enjoyed it!
