Anyone want to dream vacation destinations with me? My ILs are trying to plan a family vacation and have asked all the adult members of the family to contribute 3 location suggestions, which they're going to use to pick a place to go. I'd love help with my list! Here's the relevant info...
- ILs are paying for the trip, and it doesn't seem like budget is a huge factor. (That being said, DH and I have never ever let someone pay for a trip (or anything more than dinner!) for us, ever, and we're struggling a bit with such generosity....so I'm not going to be suggesting $$$$$ resorts.) They've told us the only limiting factor for our suggestions is the distance we're willing to fly with our kids.
- Trip will likely take place in 2024, time of year is still up in the air
- Trip includes 2 healthy/agile grandparents, 4 adults (2 married couples) and 4 kids who will range from around 2 -12 at the time)
- ILs idea is that all the families can go off during the day to do their own things, and then we'll see each other at dinner during the day - not that we'll all do everything together. That being said - I have the older children of this group and they both ADORE their little cousins, and have always chosen family time over any type of fun activity. The resorts with "kids camps" and lots of kid-only activities where they'd be separated from their cousins (due to age) hold little appeal, b/c the thing they're most excited about for this vacation is a lot of time with their family.
- I'm avoiding suggesting cruises of any sort b/c my DH is really uncomfortable with the idea
- Timeframe would be about a week
What would be your three suggestions???
