Planing Stages

I must say the preliminary planing stage for me is the worst once we've picked at destination and booked air and hotel I have a much much easier time! The back and forth and back and forth should we go here or there no here no there just makes me batty!

Right now we are in that preliminary stage of planing our Feb. Vacation. My husband is GREAT at getting airline deals so he has enough miles saved up that we can pretty much go anywhere in the world BUT since the twins are only 2 we don't really want to take a trip to to far away so Japan and Australia will just have to wait till they are older! We want to go someplace warm to escape the cold Pittsburgh.

So far we have been researching Hawaii! Yes HAWAII!!!! I've wanted to go there since I was little and honestly I've always wondered if I'll ever make it to that beautiful island, will it be this next vacation? I don't know! So I started researching it, the flight is longer then we wanted because we have to go through California but we could break the trip up and stop in CA for a day or two or weekend, but then we loose days to more travel. I don't know about you but travel day in our family is a bust there is really not much that you can do by the time you arrive to your destination, settle in and unpack. Also the kids may be a bit young for Hawaii yet as beaches are really out for us due to Jewish Modesty Laws.
Additionally Hawaii seems expensive all the activities are really going to add up as is places to stay and even food seems to be more costly there. But that is one option we are looking into.

I was talking to a friend today who suggested San Antonio Texas as a nice, neat place to go. I love the idea that in San Antonio there are sight specific activities (ie the Alamo) so I've not started looking into that yet but will do today at the same time as taking care of my 2yearold twins, cleaning the house AND getting ready for my little sisters surprise party dinner! WOOHOO

Any destination suggestions I'd love them so I can add more work to my plate!

Even if I complain though I really do love vacations, even the planing fazes I'm good at them and its exciting!
