Travel Woes

I know out of all the woes this would be the best to have but it's giving me a headache. We were planning on going to the Philippines with my parents in February 2008, vacation was cancelled and moved to Feb. 2009. But in August we find out my parents are cancelling the 2009 trip too so the hubs and I decide to plan for our own vacation.

Our first idea was a Greece Cruise in October. But then hubby's work made it that he had a business trip in the middle of Oct. And with planning it around M's birthday we decided for the two weeks before Nov. would be a great time.

Unfortunately the places we would like to go Nov is not a good time. We wanted Brazil but decided didn't want to do the visa stuff this time around. So Argentina/Uraguay came into discussion. But like a lot of South America, traveling between destination spots would be difficult. Picture 2 hour ferry + 2 hour bus ride with a toddler. Not our idea of vacation.

Then came Ireland. Too cold.

Then Honduras which was a really big possibility. We even had an itinerary planned out. But it's on the cusp of the rainy and dry season so we scrapped that place.

Then came Mexico, I suggested we just do a short vacation (long weekend) and move our big vacation to Jan or Feb and still do Honduras.

Then came Dominican Republic. I don't know if this place will stick just yet but the clock is ticking and we need to figure out something soon.
