Hello fellow Canadians, I am looking ahead at booking a trip for my 40th Birthday in Spring 2019. I have 2 options and am trying to get some opinions from fellow Canadians on what you think I should do, or at the very least - what YOU would do! LOL
Just a bit about our family, I have a husband and two kids - ages 11 & 16 at the time of the trip (Grade 6 & 11) I turn 40 in May.
Option #1) Spring Break -
Pros: kids don't miss school, not as hot
Cons: Peak season, aka more $$ for flights and rooms, more crowds
Option #2) May 11-18
Pros: There for my ACTUAL 40th birthday, (DS' 12th birthday too) not as crazy of crowds, maybe more afforadable flights and rooms as it's not a "peak" week?
Cons: Kids miss 5 days of school, it will likely be VERY hot
So, in Canada - missing a week of school will not result in a fine or whatever, but we will of coarse have to deal with DD missing 10 classes of each subject in just 5 short days....and DS, well, it doesn't matter if he misses a week of grade 6. He'll catch up just fine.....the idea of dealing with crazy crowds really freaks me out - but I don't want heatstroke in May either! LOL
What would you do???!!!
