I've not been on a vacation since February 2003. Not that I really went anywhere prior to that-for about five summers I spent a week fishing w/my parents, uncle and grampa. And in 2002 JD and I went to Florida. That's the extent of my travels. One of my childhood friends and I were talking on FB recently about priorities-she travels extensively and thinks nothing of dropping lots of money on that-while I would think ooooo the jewelry I could buy w/that money, and she would rather wear a simple band. I mentioned that my husband has been on five vacations since we've been married and I've stayed home. I'm pretty sure he saw it.
The other day he told me he wants to take me on a really nice vacation next year. He said an officer he used to work w/offered for us to go w/his "group", but knowing we don't really fit in w/that group, he said he's going to let me decide what we're doing.
I have *no* clue. We went to Vegas (2003-and we came home w/London, tho we didn't know it at the time haha!), and we've been to Florida to Disney, and to Nassau. That was a stupid vacation, sadly--one of those time share things, you know? That trip we got to spend a couple days on a cruise...now the boat was miniscule compared to an actual cruise ship (which we didn't know until we docked next to a Disney ship and we had to crane our necks back to even see their portholes..hahahaha omg that trip was something else) but it was still fun.
So that is our vacationing experience together. Knowing that you guys are way more worldly than I, I thought you might have some ideas on where to start for planning? JD wants to do something all inclusive. I know there are resorts, like Sandals, and I think some cruises are also all inclusive? Any places that you would suggest, like Cancun or..Atlantis or..I don't even know where else. We don't drink, we don't golf. We've seen places where you can do things like zip lining, which we would totally do. We like to sight see. I'm about half scared to go anywhere sunny b/c I don't tan anymore, so I don't spend much time in the sun--but I love water.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
