What would be a good place for tourist to travel in late November?

First off, where are you now? Another question: is there any place you would to go but haven't because it would be too hot in summer and too expensive in winter? If you can find a place that's off-season at the moment, that would be a good bet. Less of a crowd and less $'s. I'd suggest, like some others, staying more towards the southern U.S. to avoid problems with possible early winter weather, unless you don't normally get to experience snow and wouldn't mind encountering some.

Maine or New Hampshire

Southern California often has nice weather in late November. We have played volleyball in shorts on Thanksgiving day on a few occasions. Rain is a possibility but usually the days are warm, but the evenings can be chilly. Oh and Eskie Lover - don't call it Santa Babs - you definitely sound non-local (I live near Solvang). But I agree, a great time to visit this area.

California! The weather is mild, the tourist traffic is lower, there are lots of exciting things to do even off of the beaten path and everything is decorated for the holidays. If you go somewhere like Big Bear Lake there is even skiing by then. If you go between just above Santa Babs, there is Solvang, wine tasting, and you still aren't far from everything in the city. And you can day trip to San Simeon which is especially beautiful during the holidays. My other suggestion, Asheville NC to Biltmore Castle. It is a wonderful little city and the mansion is just awesome.

Do Something Different!!! My thoughts as a native St. Louisian.... St. Louis, Missouri is a great place to visit in November. Visit the Arch and take a romantic walk around Memorial Park as you look at the changing leaves and watch the Mississippi River roll lazily by below you. It is a great city to be romantic... or to find romance. :o) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~… (here is the website for our local newspaper) http://www.stltoday.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hotels http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/missouri/st-louis-hotels.php ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Missouri Wineries Missouri wineries are among the oldest wineries in the country, and the Missouri Winery district is actually the first official wine district in the country. http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/missouri/missouri-wineries.php St. Louis Riverboat Cruises on the Mississippi River http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/missouri/riverboats.php ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~… Missouri Botanical Gardens...a Beautiful place to visit! http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/missouri/missouri-botanical-garden.php ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~… The Budweiser Brewery, also known as the Anheuser Busch Brewery....

I agree that California offers a lot of mild weather alternatives to, otherwise touristy crowded locations. You'll find the state parks and campground less crowded and beaches pristine and beautiful. Picturesque locations such as San Francisco and Carmel are comfortable and roomy without the crush of out of town visitors. Fall season is the ideal time to visit desert wilderness areas like Death Valley National Monument because the temperatures drop to comfortable levels, and, what little rain does fall, brings out the rare, bright desert blooms. Up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, skiing season should be open, so, if that is your interest, the resorts are strung most of the entire length of the state. I highly recommend the resorts at or near Lake Taho, as much as for the scenery as for great winter sports conditions. The winter surf along California's North Coast is some of the most spectacular in the lower 48, with popular spots like Santa Cruz's Steamers Lane, and Half Moon Bay's Maverick's beaches sporting 20 to 30 foot waves. (be sure to bring a wet suit because the water is danged cold!)

Chicago!! the fall season is beautiful there and shopping and being in the city while its so colorful and lit up willl be a real humblin experience

Colorado

Southern states like the carolinas, and maybe texas for one... Grand Canyon nice in november a little snow on ground great look!!! also long Great lakes cause its cold and crisp like a new day everday! an wear theres an ocean it seems to be nice and crisp too.
