Heading to smokies tomorrow actually. In laws have a cabin in mountains near Waynesville. Cannot wait to get into some cool air.

We loved it so much we put a deposit down on the next one on the spot (thinking we'll do it in europe.)

Only done two cruises but loved them. I proposed that idea to wife and she was meh about it. But I am certain that virgin cruise would be incredible. I may check back with her about this option.. thanks for the idea.

If you have more interest in Cancun I have photo albums somewhere online I can share. You are 100% about the spring breaker comment as that was my opinion until we got there. Great resort, next to Hard Rock and not far from downtown. Highly recommend but keep in mind that was 2013 we went

Completely agree on needing more time for a euro trip.. I hadn't;lt thought that through but, yes, 9 days is pretty much min for a trip like that. But man I just want to take advantage of that strong dollar right now!
We have been to Live Aqua in Cancun maybe 2012?. Was a fantastic vacation. When I mentioned Cancun to wife, I can tell she is thinking something more "exotic". But trust me, we loved our trips there.

I guess if it’s a big anniversary then perhaps it’s worth it. I do splurge on certain things but $1,500 x 2 is what most my vacations cost (or even less). To each his own though.

We always set our sights on the 10 year anniversary trip as going big. We travelled extensively pre-kids and haven't done a big trip since kids. So this is our first chance to make up for lost time by doing a nice, luxury trip.

Would highly recommend. Only downside is the food sucked but honestly I'm not a huge foodie so we didn't care.

Just checked delta flights to St Croix and unfortunately they are once a week on Saturday from ATL. So we may not do there as we are likely doing a little less than 7 days. But the island looks incredible.
