Vacation options

First off, we're on a budget....Would you rather take several smaller, closer, cheaper vacations, or save every cent you can and blow it all in a week in Mexico? We thought about going to Mexico in 2016 for her birthday and our anniversary, but we'd have to save all of our "fun money" for about a year first, just to be able to afford to go. I think we could spend our fun money a bit better and go on several smaller vacations through the year.....what would you do?

Several smaller ones especially if kids are involved. Key is which type of vacation would give you the best return in satisfaction.

No kids. I just can't justify blowing that kind of money for a week long vacation. Hmmm. I'd rather travel to the four corners of the country on 4 seperate trips. If for no other reason than to say I did...LOL

Mexico is a cra p hole now any way. I wont even go there any more.
but a island vacation can be cheep if u shop around depending on when u go also has a lot to do with it.
I go a lot in sept because that is our anniversary. all inclusive can be cheep then for sure . just a lot of Europeans there at those times.
but yeah I also say load up the family trukster and head west for 10 days. but dont be under any delusions a road trip through the nat parks is cheep

If you want to stay married...... Don't ask us guys. Ask her and enjoy it best you can. If she is into winter stuff go to Brooks Lake and do it up. Let her shop in Jackson hole. Get sled dog hauled to lodge, let her hit the spa for the hot rock therapy. Do not forget it's "her" party.

Like Ezra said you can find deals on all inclusive. Places that aren't booked up usually have good deals just have to be ready leave without much planning.
Last year wife and I did Florida for 6 days for under $1500 for flight/ hotel.
This year were doing Punta Cana all inclusive.
Spend it while you have it. :D lol

The Drug Cartels run Mexico.

Stay in the States. You'll never see it all in your lifetime. So many places to go, see, do. Possibilities are endless.

Nashville is close and fun. Take ur drinking boots. Lots to do n see. We hit the Paul McCartney show downtown. Grand Old Opry was sorta neat but very lame at the same time.

This is outstanding advice!
I skied Jackson Hole Wyoming as a bachelor and thought to take a summer trip last summer to J.H. as well as take in Yellowstone and Glacier National park with my wife as we both admire nature. She loved it all, you just have to let her pick the hotels, do some "Four square" research for food options and booyah, positive lifetime stories forever! I suggest Late August as it is still warm and snow has not begun to fall yet in Wyoming and Montana.

We went through JH in September and it was very crowded with people. I can't imagine how crowded it would be all summer, wall to wall people.
