It's that time of the year (for us) to start thinking about vacations for next year. The past two years have been pretty slow so I think we're due for some new adventures.
I have 7 weeks next year because you still earn vacation while on parental/mat leave (I know I'm getting evil glares right now). 3 weeks are from '10, 2 of which are unpaid, and 4 weeks are my regular vacation entitlement for '11.
Since D is turning 35 in January I am in charge of surprising her with a trip. The problem is that her birthday is in JANUARY and I do not fly. So it looks like we may be going to Niagara falls unless I can get over my fear!!
Places we're "thinking about" for 2011:
1) If I could get my ass on a plane, we really want to go to Puerto Rico.
2) Norwegian Gem, departing from NYC, 9 day cruise --- it goes to San Juan but only for a few hours!
3) Walt Disney World -- of course. We haven't been since my 30th birthday in '08 and we want to go again soon.
4) Sesame Place/Philadelphia/Washington Road Trip
5) Boston/Family Week in Provincetown Road Trip
6) North Carolina (friend has a vacation house in Calabash)
My vote goes to 2, 4 and 6... I hope Sadie is ready for some crazy Road Trips!
Why are you scared of flying?? It's so much fun!! What are the other ports for that cruise, that is always a fun way to spend your birthday!
ReplyDeleteOf course you can always come here!! (...or close to here!!)
I'm so afraid to fly... but I love planes. Go figure. I think it's a control issue. If I was flying the plane I'd be OK! LOL One day soon....
ReplyDeleteThe ports are San Juan, St Maarten, St. Thomas and Tortola. I think we'd go in May
And we're not forgetting you guys (: NY is the unspoken yearly destination.
Sesame Place is great for little ones. We did that with Riley and she loved it. They have a lot of little kid rides, breakfast/dinner with your favourite characters and Elmo's World live. Totally fun and driving distance...although we flew.
ReplyDeleteA cruise sounds nice.
Another place I'd like to go that is driving distance is Province Town.
***jealous daggers***
ReplyDeleteThe cruise sounds lovely & indulgent...
I'm afraid of flying too but I do it anyway because I don't want it to stop me from seeing places I want to see. I take Gravol before I fly and it helps calm me down. Kim makes fun of me because every noise I hear, I'm like, "Oh my god, what was that??" LOL.
