No, I’m not complaining about the cold Canadian climate right now; just thinking ahead to the inevitable drop in mercury that is the trade-off for living in the best country in the world.
After taking a year off, we’re thinking of planning another Sunny South spring vacation this year (you may recall our Mexico fun of 2012), and we’re open to suggestions.
Lucky for us, we travel with another family, and our friend is willing to take on the responsibility for planning (thanks, GD!), but if anyone has recommendations for great destinations (in terms of countries or specific resorts) we’d be glad to hear them. We’ll be travelling with five kids ranging in ages from five to ten, so somewhere child-friendly is a must.
My one non-negotiable criterion is that the destination has to be hot. Not just “warmer-than-Canadian-spring,-take-your-coat-off hot”, but “bikini-in-March-hot”.
I think we’re leaning towards Caribbean resorts (maybe Bahamas or Dominican?) but we haven’t committed to anything yet, so if your family has had a great experience somewhere, please leave a comment or send an email to let me know. Thanks!
I've never been there with kids, but Dominican and Jamaica have lovely beaches! I know you went there last year, but I love the Playa Del Carmen/Mayan Riviera area of Mexico.
