Since we haven't been able to decide where we want to go (beach? mountains?) or even when to take our family vacation, how about I live vicarously through everyone else?
Please tell me where you're going, what kind of accomodations you'll be in, and whether or not you have other children.
And just for kicks, how far along you'll be by then. Thanks!
Re: Poll: Vacation Plans
DH and I are going to Chicago in June because he has a work conference there and I have never been. So I am bringing along my SIL and the hotel stay is free and we are driving there so the work will pay for our gas. So it will be a nice 4 day weekend and I will be 34 weeks at the time and this is my first baby.
I am going to Kentucky next week for girl's weekend. (16 weeks)
I am going to Florida April 30th for a wedding. (18 weeks)
Going a week to Napa and San Francisco May 20 (21 weeks)
Going to Florida for shower in July (28 weeks)
We're taking an extended weekend holiday in May for our anniversary, and going to San Francisco. I splurged a little bit to get a deluxe suite! I'm super excited. I'll be about 20 weeks by then.
We were supposed to be going to Hawaii for this anniversary (5th) but someone went and got knocked up! lol. So now we are both trying to save as much vacation time as possible for after the baby's born.
DH and I got tickets to the Kentucky Derby, so we are making the 10 hour roadtrip in two weeks. We are bringing our two dogs with us and camping nearby Churchill Downs in an RV. Should be an adventure. I'll be roughly 23 weeks.
(It may be a weird choice for a babymoon to some, but we are diehard horse lovers and racing fans so going to the derby has been a dream of mine!)

1st semi-vacation is April 24th - 28th at Ocean City, MD with some friends and DH. We are staying in his parents timeshare. I will be 25 weeks.
Real vacation will be June 26th - July 3rd at Ocean City, MD with DH's family. We will be in the timeshare again and I will be 34 weeks.
I went to Mexico in February when I was 19 weeks.
Going to Adirondacks in June when I'll be 36 weeks.
Camping in Poconos around 33 weeks.
May 16-23 I'll be about 24 weeks...we are headed to Azul Beach Hotel in Riviera Maya Mexico.
Then in June, I'm going to Jamaica for a long weekend and Ft. Lauderdale for a long weekend with my friends.
I leave next week (21 weeks) for three nights to Turks and Caicos for work with a co-worker.
In a few weeks we're using DH's frequent flier miles to go to Miami for some quiet time together: joint 2nd anniversary trip + babymoon.
No plans for the summer yet (but last year it was a family cottage on a lake in Michigan with lots of DH's relatives; restful..... but not exactly "summer" hehe, just too cold for this tropical gal's taste [in the 60s and 70s])
Due early September, so we will be showing off the baby to my family & relatives in Chicago for Thanksgiving.
Then Christmas in Prague where DH's parents live! It's beautiful and particularly festive there over Christmas; and I'm excited that I'll be able to drink hot spiced wine again by then!
(wow, do I really have my life "planned" through 2010 already???? eep!)
