Where is your's?
I'm planning a vacation to take the daughter somewhere new and prefer somewhere unique and exotic so she can start to become exposed to more then western PA and Virginia beach...Virginia Beach is where the family heads annually during July or august, but besides the sand/saltwater, it's not drastically different then many of the local public lakes....virginia beach has similar infastructure to Pittsburgh or Columbus which she has seen....it only offers her limited variety.....there are similar dempgraphics, similar quisine, and similar wildlife ...again except the ocean/bays part, not much is different.... and I hate sharks and snakes anyways.
She loves the water however, so a beach destination is still ok, but prefer somewhere tropical and white sand....doesnt have to be a beach however....as long as it is a place where diversity is magnified and culture is exciting....I just want her to see how big the world is and how amazing it can be...I also want her learning how certain regions are far less fortunate and have much less in regards to economical oppurtunities or even homes and toys....just so she is learning about new life...she is only 6, but these are crucial years....I never got to see much growing up....I had one vacation to Albuquerque, and that was with distant family that makes the Kardashians seem sane.....I don't want to come off as dramatic or irrational, but I hate how kids are raised anymore and I refuse to have my daughter thinking life outside a television screen or PC is non existent....she can be so much better then me (not saying much).......she has it in her.....I was petrified to leave home for a long time...I want her to be exposed to things I never was, so when the time to jump creeps up on her, she won't be terrified like I was....her mother and my ex wife is becoming a ass....or becoming more of a a ass I should say....and she is more worried about herself, so I really feel like it's up to me to educate her....although it will probably be more of a culture shock to me as I am not well traveled and will comprehend the cultural differences much easier....
Anyways, back to the destination....if anyone has personal experiences and places they have been and enjoyed , I'd love to know....if you are willing to share.....
Six fives trip to a different country really is what motivated a lot of this....I forget the exact locale but will never forget the images and daily text entries describing his experiences that he posted here I thought it was bad ass that he sacrificed his time and energy to help, and hope to instill that same drive and sense of obligation to the rug rat....says a lot about six five that he contributed and I want her to be looked at the same..
Anyways I suppose I could've just asked for ideas and saved time but onwards I go and xontinue to type-
the destination can really be in any region.
Just want it to have some or most of the following reputations:
-kid friendly
-reasonably affordable
-safe
- unique in itself
- hotels with A/C- that's all for me lol
- all inclusive type trip would be much easier for a 30 yr old single dad
-variety--- I have probably 4-12 adult family members also considering a new location this year and joining us.....and their immediate families as well...we usually have 25-30 at our beach house, so could have a lot of people with different interests
- easy and accessible transportation - public or private
T.I.A if anyone has time to respond....I've Google options but everywhere I look has the same...good reviews and bad reviews....I trust the MJ community far more then the general public on random sites.
Fuck I typed a lot and all I intended was to ask a simple question....thanks again for any ideas.
They (siblings/grandparents) all want to book trips now but I told them I needed more research first....I want the best option because she may not get a Vaca outside of VA Beach again for a while...
