I would love to save up and take my kids to the beach again. I am newly divorced and searching for a job. As soon as I get one, I am going to put away just a little at a time and take my kids on a short trip. We'll drive there. We went to the beach a couple of times last year while I was still married. The first trip was enjoyable and it didn't last long enough. The second trip included my mother in law and was miserable. My ex and his mom fought most of the way. We didn't get to go to the places that we planned on visiting. Where do you want to go on vacation?

I live in Miami, so I go to the beach quite often. I love though to go to uncrowded beaches (Vilano Beach) in St. Augustine is one of my favorites. Usually what I do is called the 5 dollar envelope. When I have a five dollar bill in my wallet, I put it away in the envelope and promise myself not to use it. I about 6 months I've been able to save 500.00 which will pay for a nice seaside resort for a long weekend. My hairdresser gave me that tip and says that's how she saves for vacations every year. Here's hoping you can get away soon!

Luckily, I live about 10 minutes from the east coast shore so I can go to the beach on any warm sunny day. Sorry to hear your trip wasn't as enjoyable as you wanted :( I have always wanted to travel to asia particularly Japan. The culture is so much different from America and it would be a fun experience most likely:) This summer I'm going on vacation to Belgium and then to Italy. I've been to Italy 4 times before so it's nothing big :p

The question should really be where don't I want to go as I really would like to go to as many places as possible! I am hoping my next trip will be to Florida with my mum as my dad will not fly anymore as he is too scared so myslef and my mum are going to go away for a week on our own!

I actually have plans already to go to a beach here in our country this coming July, I just hope it won't rain though. I'm going with my siblings, it's actually a welcome home trip for my sister who is coming home from working and living in another country. We love going to the beach, cause it's really beautiful, and very relaxing. We don't usually go with our parents or other adults, cause they almost always ruin our vacation, to many do's and dont's and they seem to be nervous all day everyday, that is until we go back home.

I really want to explore Eastern Europe and the Balkans. I think the history in Poland would be amazing to see, from the Jewish ghettos to the concentration camps. I have been to Warsaw but only briefly and long enough to explore the old town so venturing further out would be great. Croatia is another place I'd like to visit before they enter the European Union and tourists begin to flood the country. Some of the coastline along Croatia is spectacular from Dubrovnik to Pula. I have also heard mixed reviews about Mauritius and the Maldives, but they're also two places I'd like to visit.

Morning to you jules2653, Trips when you are divorced are rare. You need to save up before that can happen. However, for summerholiday, me and my son rather like to stay home and enjoy it more than stay out on the roads or go for long roads trips. Sun and water we can have here at our yard. We are enjoy the summer holiday and take it easy and as the day come...there are so many sceduled things normal days so we like to do what we want with out sceduel.I do hope thouhg you are able to make the trip to the beach.

I'd like to go back up north to Maryland to visit family...or drive down to the Florida Keys. I live in Florida and have been to many of the beaches on both coasts but I've never been to the Keys and I hear that's an experience!

In my vacation plan travel with my brothers to the interior of Brazil to meet its natural beauty and a breath fresh air and find out differently in the large city. Besides being a wish that my brothers and I have since children. And I advise you to learn about Brazil, it is a beautiful country.
