I think if you have several thousand saved a trip to NZ or Australia could be on the cards, with the rate of exchange right now ,you would do very well with your American dollar, just a thought, we have a lovely piece of paradise here, well worth taking a look at.

We had a powwow tonight and decided to go to Disney World in March. We all wanted a trip very soon. We may try to do a big vacation like the Grand Canyon or a cruise in the fall. With the deal Disney is offering now all 5 of us can go and stay at a moderate Disney resort for a week and have a ticket for every day of the week for $610 a person. We can spend a little more and upgrade the tickets to those that won't expire or park hopper tickets or add the water parks. My sister is the queen of Disney planning. I think we're going to stay at Port Orleans on the French Quarter side.

Even if you've made your choice, I'd like to suggest a cruise. You can get good ones for cheeeeeeap and see a different port every morning or every other morning. Hubby and I went to one over Thanksgiving that went to Key West, FL. and Nassau Bahams for about 1 thousand dollars for both of us. It was fun and we can't wait to go on a another one. PS: Disney has cruises too and no, they aren't for kids only!

The problem with a cruise is we have all been on lots of them. The cheap ones go mostly to Mexico or the Bahamas. We feel like we've done them to death. Most of the ones that go to more interesting islands in the southern Caribbean leave from San Juan and it can be expensive to get a flight there. We did that one time too. We may try that in the fall though. But I hate the threat of dealing with hurricanes. Thanks for that suggestion!
