well, time to update.

France was wonderful.   Southern France is beautiful.   Once we got there.   We got stuck in Mordor (New Jersey) due to bad airline karma for three days.  Egad.  Good food, good wine, good sites, and good friends.  I didn't want to leave.

Back to the crazy grind of work and summer fencing. 

Now that I am back from my vacation, I'm now looking for what I should do for next year.  I'm interested in maybe a cruise to someplace warm, but I have never been and am interested in what people have done and what is a) reasonable price b) good value c) active - like beaches, historical places, etc.   Recommendations?

I know this may be surprising, but I am done with my kid stuff and don't want to be on a kid-friendly boat. I would like a boat that is nice, not to kitchy and a place to stow my stuff while I explore islands as I know nothing of that area of the world. I'm hoping to eventually find a place that I would chose as a destination in the future.

I'm not sure of the time, but it will have to coincide with school vacations (bah, that always means more expensive, but nothing I can do about that), either xmas, feb or april. Hot isn't a problem for me. :-)

Thanks for the recommendations.

I am not surprised with the kid thing, It makes sense.

There are some good books in the bookstore/library, which review Carribean cruise ships. It was worth buying and reading one. If you want to economize on the research, AAA has a guide book to the islands.

Enjoy - I'm a little jealous. :-)
