Vacation Ideas

OK, Chris & I REALLY need a vacation.  The last real vacation we had was in June 2006 when we went to Seattle and Vancouver.  As much as we'd love to go to England and Scotland, the dollar is just too weak against the pound (sorry Rina!), making it too costly.  Maybe after the elections when the Dems. get back into office and turn this county around (ie. stronger economy, better international reputation), then Europe may be a possibility.  Since that may take a while, here are some other thoughts about vacation spots closer to home.  Keep in mind, we're looking for rest and relaxation.  Our next holiday will be adventurous.  The top places we had in mind are:

1)Turks & Caicos
2)Puerto Rico
3)St. Maarten
4)Big Sur
5)Nevis
6)St. Kitts

For a future vacation (say Fall), London or Costa Rica.  If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears, as long as it involves sand, sun, water, and drinks with umbrellas. :)

It looks like we're leaning towards St. Maarten. Both you and my sister-in-law Cheri (who goes there every year) have managed to sway the judges' decision. Chris is contacting his travel agent today. Where did ya'll stay when you were there?

Oh, and check out our girls (see below). Sorry for the weird resolution. I tried to doctor the picture up to no avail. I still thought it was cute!

Here is the website of the place we stayed: www.west-indies-online.com/Meridien/default.html

It is on the French side of the island, very secluded and quiet. Great rooms, delicious food, perfect weather.

I love the picture!
