Among the destinations to consider are:
Southeast Asia. The northern parts of this region, i.e. northern Thailand, Laos, & parts of Vietnam, have almost ideal weather in Jan & Feb.
Carretera Austral in Chile, and the lake region of south-central Chile & Argentina.
New Zealand
Mexico-the winter is the dry season and comfortable temperatures in most of the country
I want to be able to drive (From Kentucky) to a warm enough place to tour during the cold gray days in January - March / April. Find a place to park my truck and take off from there. Mexico is about as far as I would want to drive and not speaking Spanish I don't even know how well that would work out either
