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.

Why fly with a 10 month old. Just going to piss off of the surrounding people and you won’t enjoy it all. And the baaby won’t remember any of it. No one remembers anything before their five so it’s a waste of money

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.,

I guess? At that age, mine were taking naps during the day and slept 10 - 12 hours a night. I wouldn't want to go to a city or someplace heavy on restaurants, bars, and nightlife, as I'd miss it sitting in the rental.

Light your $ on fire and just call it a day.

This is overstated so much. At that age, a lot of parents have their kids on some sort of schedule where they are eating/napping around certain time frames. Time take-off landing around bottle time, or use pacifiers, and that can help the effects of the ear pressure. Time flights during normal nap schedules and you aren't trying to entertain them the entire flight.

It isn't always just about the baby's experiences. The parents are also having great experiences by doing things with their infant, especially with their first born.

Can confirm. Took our almost 3 year old and 7 year old at the time to France for 2 weeks. He did relatively well overall, but it was just a lot and there were definitely moments of....I'm never doing this again, especially on the flights when he hardly slept, which means we hardly slept.
As for a 10 month old. I'm not sure I'd want to go anywhere out of the country. Your vacation will be scheduled around them and if there's any kind of major time change, that sleep schedule is gonna wreak havoc on you and the kid.

A long flight with a 10 month old is much much easier than a long flight with an almost two year old

I get that but if your option is going to Paris with a 10 month old or not going to Paris, the calculation changes. Otherwise you are just going to end up at home with a 10 month old.
Buy the ticket, take the ride.

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.
