A.Balaban Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 If you were going on a vacation with your husband, where would you go? For how long? Assuming that you had a modest budget ($2500 USD) and any child-care was taken care of. Would you do one longer trip? A shorter "more lavish" trip? Several smaller weekend-type trips? Would you (gasp) bring the kids? (assuming you didn't have to, lol) :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think we'd take a road trip through the US. We both enjoy driving and road trips together are enjoyable for both of us. Since we live in Cali, we'd start north, head east keep going till time and/or $ ran out and come home the southern route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Southeast Asia. I don't see that on 2500. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 My kids are older so we would probably take them with us. For $2500, I can hardly fly out of state for all of us. But a week or ten days in Hawaii sounds just right this time of year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckles Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I would really like to go on a cruise to Alaska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 For $2500? Probably Mexico. I've been there twice so far, and I love it. Mexico City and the surrounding area are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Belize with dh and ds. Ds lights up around the water. Belize would be warm, I am not warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I would go on a cruise to anywhere for about 3-4 days without the kids. We actually would really like to do this, but neither of us trust anyone enough to leave our kids with them. We are considering a disney cruise WITH the kids instead.

Stacia Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Ice hotel in Montreal, plus stay a few more days in the area.... (Ideally, I'd love to go to an ice hotel in Sweden, but I don't think that's feasible on your budget.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYoungerMrsWarde Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Dh and I dream of visiting Italy and taking a few cooking classes there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKshanmar Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 We took a fun little trip through the San Juan Islands, staying somewhere new every night, traveling by ferry, ending up in Edmonton & Victoria. It was off season, but we really enjoyed it. Another time we drove south into Ensenada, Mexico. We found a quaint little place, and relaxed. One time we rented a house boat in Seattle, and then just hung out in the city. Another time, hubby suprised me with an anniversery trip to Vail. Again, off season, so things are cheaper. I thought I was spending one night in Anchorage, instead I got on a plane! I had given my mom one day of lesson plans. She was sure I was going to kill my husband, but other than being slightly shocking, and then having to deal with the slightly odd wardrobe he had packed me, it was great! Of course $2500 would barely get us out of Alaska, the way tickets are now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 This time of year: cycling tour of New Zealand with dh or driving through the southwest with the kids The boys and I have also talked about driving to Maine (from Wisconsin) through the UP and Canada (Toronto, Montreal) and then back through the northeastern US.

AimeeM Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 No, I wouldn't bring the children. Where? Anywhere with a bed. Quiet. I just want to sleep. If I have to *go* somewhere, I've always wanted to visit London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'd like to go to northern New Jersey, where dh grew up, so ds can see it. Of course, it would be convenient to go to NYC as well. Short trips from NYC to Boston or Philadelphia might be fun. Did I just go over budget? :huh: If it was to be just dh and me, I'd like to go to some pretty beach in southern California, then up to San Francisco. Or to Prince Edward Island. There are too many places I want to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyobu Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 New York City. Other places I would be interested in... Seattle area. The Poconos. A nice beach somewhere. Preferably with a room overlooking the beach. And room service. I would leave the kids. I think we've had two nights away from the kids since our oldest was born...

vonfirmath Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Road trip to OH with the kids. See relatives. Visit the Creation Museum. Just have a grand old time. Can we wait until summer or must it be used NOW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureMoms Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Definitely no kids right now. I think Mexico or South America would be lovely. Or a cruise to anywhere. I'd rather do one longer trip than several shorter ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 New York City, sans kids. It's been on my list for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanSue Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 We would do either/both a road trip or NYC. We do both all the time with the kids and we love having the kids along. But we never have any child care so we always have to limit ourselves to what is doable for our kids, one of whom uses a wheelchair. We could follow every rabbit trail, stop at all the historical markers, eat wherever looked interesting, hit the museums . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 $2500 would cover a few days in Boston for us or a couple days in NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'd do a cruise! We just found a six day cruise for our family of 6 for $2600!! It's amazing the deals you can find off season!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The Caribbean. Especially if it was winter when we went. I hate the cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
