Vacation ideas with a ten month old

Where is the best place to travel with a ten month old in the board’s opinion? Looking more for out of the country. Ideal timeframe is June, July, or August.

Don’t do it. Let the kid stay with grandparents or aunt/uncle and actually enjoy your vacation.

Unless you’re also flying with an au pair, why in the world would you want to do that?

Flew to Kauai no problem with a kid slightly older than that. I suggest going somewhere you can base yourself in one or two central locations. You don't want to move them around too much.
If you want to take the kid, you definitely want to do it before they turn a year old/start walking.
If a kid is a good sleeper, doesn't walk, and hasn't met the "you took something away from me, now I'm pissed" development stage, it's really not that hard.
1-3 years old? Blow my brains out.

Don’t listen to the naysayers
Life with a ten month old is pretty much going to be the same as vacation with a 10 month old. Go to London or Paris or a big city with easy convenient public transportation options and you will be fine. Get an apartment

The only qualification / filter you have is out of the country so it's kind of impossible to make recommendations. What is it that you're looking to do?
Depending on your preferences and budget any answer from a cruise, bungalow in bahamas, an apt in Paris, a week in Canada, a safari could all be "correct" and good suggestions but you'll need to provide a little more info about what you're looking to do.,

Amish country (seriously)
Quiet, quaint, and low key with plenty to do

Just FYI in case you didn't know, you will need a passport for the baby. Make sure you start that process well in advance.
We have 4 kids and have travelled pretty extensively with them. At that age, I'd lean towards a city vacation and would try to limit the flight time to no more than 6-7 hours. Maybe consider Quebec City. Definitely has a European feel and is out of the country. You could do Montreal and QC on one trip.
If you or your wife don't mind hiking with a baby in a backpack carrier, then that would open up other options.

We were going to do Amsterdam when our youngest was an infant but lingering COVID stuff killed the trip. There is a really family-friendly nice hotel in AMS but I forget the name. Pulitzer? We had narrowed it to that and an AirBNB in the Jordaan. Had planned a Copenhagen trip with the newer infants and it got cancelled for other reasons. We may do the UK next year with everyone.
I haven't tested this, but my thought was make sure to stay in city center suites/Air BNBs to ensure that during naps or whatever, it would be easy for one of us to walk some neighborhoods, pop into a pub, etc. Candidly when we traveled a lot before kids we'd do the same (one of us needed to be on a call or whatever, so the other roamed and grabbed a drink, etc.).
Some of my favorite memories, especially in Europe, are just walking around to kill an hour or two and having a conversation with a random in a cafe or bar. So keeping that option would be nice.
Last time we were in Budapest the couple staying adjacent to us had an infant, and they had a similar outlook/ambition (trade off some mid-day/nap city walking while the other hangs with the baby). Having a place with a balcony or similar so that one of you can soak in some environs while being there for naptime/feedings would probably help.

Looking more for out of the country
Idk man. We took ours on 2 hour flights across the country at that age and if they weren't asleep breastfeeding, it was like watching your child at home but you had to keep them on your lap the ENTIRE time. They are restless at that age and want to explore. Luckily ours was cute and smiling/playing with everyone around and great on plans. 9 flights and has yet to cry (knock on wood).
If you can leave your child with family, do it. If not, I wouldn't go anywhere that's more than 2 hours from where you live now.

I always followed the advice given to me of "just go do what you want to do as a family and don't let the baby stop you". Bring 'em and enjoy! My two cents.

At that age, we had success with beach vacations like Cozumel and Miami as well as short jaunts to Galveston and Gulf Shores.

I will never have kids, but I think people with their babies who travel for leisure are quite selfish. If you wanted vacations, you should either not have kids or wait til the kids are old enough to remember to understand. Like a previous poster said, you’re gonna piss off a lot of folks on an airplane with a baby.
