Our kids were just seven and five at that time, but it was still great. Our favorite spot was Carinthia in southern Austria. Not many American's know of it, but it's where the Germans vacation.

It's hard to say. I didn't sleep well on either of those trips because the toddler among us doesn't fare well in hotel rooms, but still the daylight adventures made up for the deprivation.<BR/>All things considered, I am a real advocate of 'No Kids' vacations...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-9482315268499295142007-03-10T19:32:00.000-09:002007-03-10T19:32:00.000-09:00Sorry, our vacation seems to be going to SLC, Utah...Sorry, our vacation seems to be going to SLC, Utah for visits with gramma and grampa.

Early in the morning, go to the Star Market and get frozen peas, then snorkel at Ulua Beach until the tradewinds kick up the waves and the visibility goes down. Be sure to feed the peas to the fish. In the afternoon, drive over to the wet side of the island and hike in the jungle. Come back to the condo for a steak on the grill.<BR/><BR/>Repeat as necessary.<BR/><BR/>Maui no ka oi!K T Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259428595745509790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-45627421780681703352007-03-10T17:09:00.000-09:002007-03-10T17:09:00.000-09:00i go to hilton head island every year, which is a ...i go to hilton head island every year, which is a little slice of heaven.<BR/><BR/>hey - we're going to india too! this thanksgiving. we can swap tips ;-)Melissa Angert {All Things Chic}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02966938610239372447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-35309924590252475902007-03-10T13:49:00.000-09:002007-03-10T13:49:00.000-09:00I'm just drooling at the thought of Hawaii being s...I'm just drooling at the thought of Hawaii being so close...

My husband's company hosts glorious award trips each spring, and my husband would be in line to go, EXCEPT that his new position is ineligible. So bummed. Greece. Wah. Ok, I'm over it. We did take a long weekend away to the Oregon Coast not too long ago. I think we are due a big family, let's-take-oodles of pictures vacation.
