Where to travel before you die...

What kind of budget are you looking at?

What about one of the trans Atlantic Disney cruises? Or a Mediterranean cruise that leaves from Europe?

Actually, other than length of time and logistics (and the need for an occasional decent hotel)...that looks really cool.

I'm not really sure yet. I guess better questions, for me anyway, would be how long am I willing to wait to go to any particular place and how much (and again, for how long) am I willing to carve out of my budget to get there. Since this is still very early stage, I haven't really gotten to that point yet.

7 to 10 days is probably the maximum amount of time we could be gone at this point for several reasons, not the least of which is the cost of boarding 4 dogs.

Here are the places we're talking about at this early stage:

Olivia:
Ireland
France
Disney Cruise

Me:
France
Alaska Cruise
Safari
Greece

Olivia would also really like to go to Hawaii which, doesn't really fit my original requirements since I've been there numerous times. However, I might consider a different type of Hawaiian adventure, on one of the islands that I've never been to.

We also discussed (based on a book we paged through at the book store) the possibility of a volunteer trip somewhere or even a trip digging up dinosaurs or archeological finds.

And Moonliner, you are correct, I need to keep my eye on the prize.
