I know, Eva - it's just embarrassing the amount of vacations I have had over the past couple of years!

It's down to a combination of factors - the excellent £/$ exchange rate we enjoyed till recently; travelling with just the kids; having DVC/timeshare and a considerable amount of personal free time...
However, this is my final fling - honest!!! I booked the Barbados flights before I started studying again so I'm having to take 4 sick days - which isn't ideal but Richard has vacation days to use up... After this trip, I'm sticking to trips that are outside of University term time...
