I am okay with "when's the next trip?" though.
I'm ready to plan too!
Whenever ya'll get around to talking about next year - count me in!
I am ready for next year and tammy is in too!
As for next year, Let The Planning Begin !
Well, grab your 2011 calendars and throw out some dates. (link to online calendar: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/custom.html?year=2011&country=1&cols=3&hol=57&df=1)
We can get a poll going.
Keep in mind a few points:
1. February, March and April have worked well for us the past three times so I'm thinking we should stick with in those months. In January we are still recovering from Christmas, and May is getting too close to many family vacations.
2. Avoid holidays if possible. In 2011 the holidays/events we might want to avoid are:
Feb 14 Valentine's Day
Feb 21 Presidents' Day
March 13 Daylight Savings time (move ahead one hour)
Apr 24 Easter Sunday (surprisingly late in the month next year!)
3. I wouldn't let weather factor into our decisions too much, it's simply too unpredictable.
4. Spring breaks typically start the first week of March, and even with Easter being so close to the end of April, in March and April we can run the risk of higher crowds due to school breaks. The closer to Easter, the worse it gets.
5. If dates are thrown around that you think now you won't be able to make, do not despair!!! It's a whole year away. This is why we pick dates quickly so you have time to make it happen. There are no dates that are going to be perfect for everyone but with time to plan hopefully it will work out. AmySue and SarahMay were pretty sure they couldn't make the trip this time once the dates were picked, and yet, they made it happen and had a great time.
