For me I have found it best to let Dh take DS down to the pool and get acquainted with our resort. WHile they are exploring I am unpacking and getting everything situated. We drive when we go and prefer to not get too adventerous our first night. I would suggest WC not too much traveling and the kids are sure to have fun and it is very affordable. DS loves his certifcate too!
Truly, gets this family in the mood for playing! Then go back swim some more and hopefully DS gets to bed for an early wake up!
Have fun planning its 1/2 the fun!
