Might be the last family trip
Hi all, Where has the time gone? Two oldest kids are on their own with jobs and two youngest are still in elementary school. We have tried to vacation one week a year as a family, but are finding it is getting tough. We always found the carribean, florida and mexico to work so now I need suggestions. Hawaii, Costa rica, London - Dubai, what do you think? The youngest have two weeks off from school end of March, so I think the older kids could probably swing 10 days. I appreciate all suggestions, we like upscale and might be willing to spend a bit befor the oldest have their own kids to support

I have to say I think New Zealand makes for a perfect family vacation. There's something for everyone there, and it's fairly inexpensive once you get there. We went when my kids were in Jr and HS and it was great!

moosewild- thanks for the reply would it be worth it to hook on a trip to dubai for a beach escape and do london on the front and back to break up the trip? rapunzil- thanks, I am concerned about the travel time to new zealand. is it doable as a 10 day trip from nyc?

Never been to Dubai- sounds like fun though! Definitely worth it,but I'd do London THEN Dubai, or the other way round. I mean, the first day or two in London you'll spend finding your bearings, then you'll really get into the city. I'd think it would be less stressful/expensive to not interrupt once you've found your "groove". (fewer hotel changes,packing) But if your family adjusts well to change and you're light packers, go for it!
