We are horrible at planning vacations. There are so many places we want to visit that we can never narrow it down. Once we finally decide on a place, then we can’t figure out what to do. At times, it’s frustrating.

Two years ago we spent ten days in Ireland. Originally, we were thinking of going on an Alaskan cruise or Hawaii. We were being good and had narrowed it down! But I’m not a fan of boats thanks to a stupid (and I do mean stupid) boating accident and the more I thought of a cruise the more panicked I felt. Then we found out how long the trip to Hawaii was. ELEVEN hours. Ugh. I had never been in a plane before and we thought that doing a shorter trip would be best. Surely European countries were longer. Right? Wrong.

So to Ireland we went and we didn’t go on a vacation since.

Sure, we went on long weekend trips, but it’s not the same. We had decided it was time to go away for a week or so and had decided November would be the best time. Then we hit November and couldn’t decide on a local so pushed the target back to December, which we didin’t hit.

See where I’m going with this? We are awful at this. But finally, we decided. Well, we went to a travel agent and had him help us to decide. Sometime in 2007 (being a bit vague here), we will be flying 11 hours to spend 7 days in Kauai. Now we just need to figure out what to do.
