I think we need a little fluff :)

1. Have you/Will you decorate(d) for the fall?

2. Have you started any Holiday shopping yet?

3. What is one food (or drink) that you look forward to when the weather gets cooler?

Bonus (it was a discussion at work yesterday and wondered others opinions):
4. If you were able to have an inheritance for your children (or maybe you have already experienced this with your own family), and you were able to live comfortably and was not relying on that money to survive, would you rather spend the money while you are alive and watch your children enjoy the money now or would you rather have it given to them when you died?

The year we took a "different" kind of vacation for us was the year we went up to Maine. Otherwise our vacations are usually going someplace in Europe, renting a condo or farmhouse and a car, and touring around a general area for four to six weeks.

lol!! No, I never said I was a "great world traveler and explorer"-lol!!
And each tropic, cruise and DW vacation I have been on as been a different experience. Some was when I was a kid, some without kids and some with. In the future we will go to different places and have different experiences.
We are not the type of people to go to the same place every year, the beach condo, same hotel in same resort area, etc.
Every cruiseline is different, every cruise ship is different, every vacation on a cruise is different. You meet different people, different experiences, different islands or places, etc.
Every island is different. You meet different people, have different experiences.
A "warm" climate seems to be all clumped together as one place.
Why is that? Maybe lack of experience.

I can see that. We didn't mind the buses. The boys were at an age where even the bus ride was fun for them.

Why? Do you know what a meal package entails?

<<A "tour" meal? No, it was an excursion and they offered lunch at the restaurant on the beach, not a restaurant chain, not owned by the cruise ship. A local restaurant that the public is welcome to eat at all year long. >>



Yes, that is a tour package meal, an excurison and

The first time I took one of my kids to Disneyland the kid was three years old. We got out of the car and walked over to catch a tram to the main gate. When we got to the main gate he didn't want to get off the tram, because he thought THAT was Disneyland. Kid would have been perfectly fine riding around the parking lot all morning.

I thought you were going back to WDW? Or going on a cruise again to the islands? Where have you stated that you are going somewhere other than either of these two places?

Not this year.
Cruise to different places than we went last time
Again, different cruise ship, different cruise line, different places, a WHOLE different experience.

As I stated in an ealier post or actually mulitple posts, its along the same theme in the same general area, which is fine, but doesn't actually support the we like to explore and go different places type of statement. It supports that we like a certain type of vacation and that what we like to do. Either way is fine, really.

Maybe to you it is, but not to me. It is all different experiences. What islands did you go to on your cruises?

From my research, many people order more expensive food than they normally would in order to make sure that they get the "maximum value" for those meal plans and eat more food than they normally would to get the value as well.
