Now that it seems that vacation time is starting, I just wondered what all of our good friends here so for vacation........
We have people here from all over the U.S. and Canada, so we may get some interesting responses.
It's funny how people will travel hours to see what may be in our own back yard.

For instance, I'm less then 40 miles away from Niagara Falls, but hardly ever go there.

As for our plans,  we usually stick around the home during the summer, working on the house, pool, etc. 
Our vacation seems to be more in January/ Febuary, when we try to book a cruise to get away from our brutal western NY winter.

You do not need to get too specific, but it might be interesting to see about where you all go, how far, how long, etc....
Do you camp, fly, go see mickey, etc,etc.
Do you take more day trips, or do the "grand, big vacation" thing.....

Basically, what do you do to make that great, "Family Memory"............

We did Disneyworld a few years ago and loved it.
I waited until our youngest was about 7 or 8.......would not want to drag any kids younger then that, but then perhaps you are much more patient then I am.
The main parks are awesome, but exausting.
We spent every other day at the water parks....free admission with the Disney pass.......so we had one busy day, one relaxing day at Blizzard beach or typhoon lagoon, then another busy day, etc,etc.
The BEST advice I can give you is this.........
GO BUY THE UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO DISNEYWORLD.  It is worth it's weight in gold!!!!!
It gives TONS of good hints, tips, etc to make the vacation great.  Without that guide you are walking in there ignorant and blind.

Enjoy!  Also,take a few extra days off...... plan on needing a vacation after your vacation.......

My youngest is now a junior in High school........next time we do disney it will just be Jane and I........no kids..priceless!

snowshoveller,
Thanks for the invite. How far is the Bay of Fundy? Always wanted to watch the tide.

Frank,
As an every year thing, with the whole crew, we go to the Delaware Shore. Town called Fenwick Island (not an island), rent a house on the beach. Very nice. Lots of places like it from Maine to Carolina, but Delaware is a short drive and has what we like. In the winter, Sweety and I like Paradise Island. Four hours from home and tourist trappy enough to have everything we want. Haven't been in a few years, and the Atlantis might have changed the whole place, butt it was nice when we went, and we would go back.

Thanks Frank for the heads-up on the guide. Will definitely look into it.

Robmints, how far is Fenwick from the Lewes/Rehoboth area? How would it compare?
