But, we are thinking Tokyo for our 5yr anniversary. Maybe I can start saving $25 a week ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where/page/2#post-1389030 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:02:55 +0000 BananaPancakes 1389030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really hoping to get somewhere for our 5th (which was also 2 months after both of our 30th birthdays), but it crept up too fast and we never got anything planned. So maybe it'll just get moved to our 10th. I want to do a safari for a big anniversary, but for a smaller one, would love to get to Hawaii or Alaska. My husband won't go very many places internationally, so anniversary trips are kind of limited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where/page/2#post-1389003 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:48:18 +0000 sunny 1389003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I know a few people who have done the Maldives almost all via points (flights &amp; hotel). It can be done but its not easy!!!!</p> <p>I haven't really ever thought of doing anniversary trips! We just travel when we have time &amp; money and hit the destinations on our bucket list! :-) Next up is Japan later this year. I think after that we'll probably stick to places closer to home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where/page/2#post-1388990 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:38:51 +0000 Tidybee 1388990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: that is my DH's dream destination! I don't know if we'll get there any time soon though.<br /> Our 5 year anniversary is in October and we'd like to go away but Id also like to be pregnant with #2 then and I really want to be able to enjoy some good drinks! Decisions decisions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where/page/2#post-1388858 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 18:30:43 +0000 regberadaisy 1388858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: right?? I can hardly believe it's real. We were there in late September. I would love to go during our anniversary in August so it's more beach weather. The seafood. Oh. My. God. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where/page/2#post-1387208 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 10:31:08 +0000 Amelieisme 1387208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 3rd anniversary is in May...I'm hoping we can do a trip for our 5 year. Our youngest (due in April) will be 2 yo then so maybe we can leave them for a few days at that point...Not sure where to though :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1387191 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 10:26:21 +0000 mediagirl 1387191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have already started saving for a big Alaskan cruise for our 10th...in 7 years. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1387166 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 10:18:05 +0000 hilsy85 1387166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I desperately want to go back to Africa for our 5 year but doubt that will happen...maybe 10 year! I want to go to Tanzania!

I want to go back with DH so much!</p> <p>I think we'll take a smaller trip (somewhere in the US for our 5th anniversary, depending on if we have another baby and our finances. But for 10, we're definitely going to go a bigger trip. The problem is there are just SO many places that would be amazing to visit, that I can't even narrow it down to a small list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1387015 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:34:15 +0000 blackbird 1387015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 5 year is this year and since we are taking E with us, I think we are going to the Grand Palladium Resort &amp; Spa in Riviera Maya. It's affordable, a short flight, and we'll enjoy ourselves. </p> <p>I told DH I really want to go somewhere nice for our 10 year, though, but we'll see. Kids are expensive and I don't mind waiting until our 15th to go big! I want to go somewhere exotic! But not tooo far of a flight. I think DH is traumatized after back and forth flights to the middle east. So I'd love to do tahiti, bermuda, costa rica, germany, the greek isles....ahhh. You know, when we have 8K to spend on vacations *hahahahaha*...... :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1386997 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:28:56 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1386997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: I was thinking the same thing about Tahiti or Bora Bora! Those places look heavenly, but it's too far from Europe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1384151 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 11:38:50 +0000 Alivoo01 1384151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: I live in the States and it's expensive to get there and to stay there also. But I don't mind saving up for it and going when there's sufficient funds. Definitely not a destination I pick to go for a weekend or just because vaca. Ouch! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1384080 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 11:28:14 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1384080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kauai would be SO beautiful!<br /> I think we might be meeting up with some of our Australian friends at Disney in 2015. So...it'll be close to our 5th anniversary, if that counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1384063 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 11:25:47 +0000 heartonastring 1384063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Montreal is a much better visit in the summer - take it from someone who used to live there! It's positively frigid in winter and much less to see. Summer is festival season and there's always lots going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1383985 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 11:14:51 +0000 raspberries 1383985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our fifth this year, we went to the Amalfi coast for a week, then to London, Paris and Amsterdam for three days each (flew from Rome to London, then took the train to Paris and Amsterdam.)</p> <p>It was kind of more of a last hurrah than an anniversary trip though, since we plan to start TTC this upcoming year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1383912 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 10:59:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 1383912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: Love love loved it. I've never been anywhere else like it or in that region at all, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was amazing. Too bad the flights were almost 24 hours each way (with multiple layovers included). Hopefully by the time we go back we can afford to upgrade to business class! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1383878 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 10:53:48 +0000 psw27 1383878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to go to Hawaii for our 5 year... not sure if it will happen depending on how many LOs we have, but that is my dream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1383876 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 10:53:26 +0000 illumina 1383876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I would love Tahiti or Bora Bora, but it's so far (and expensive) to get to from the U.K. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1383871 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 10:52:34 +0000 illumina 1383871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: you went to Bali for your honeymoon?

Somewhere along the Mediterranean! </p> <p>@MrsKoala: We just spent a week in Costa Rica as a belated honeymoon and it was soooooo amazing. Do it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1383763 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 10:26:09 +0000 MrsKoala 1383763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dream is to go to Costa Rica for a week. I'm guessing we probably won't be able to do it for a couple years so maybe this will be a five year anniversary goal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1383760 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 10:25:24 +0000 jhd 1383760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would love to go to Italy next.

Maybe every 5 years? We'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1383424 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 09:17:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 1383424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On our honeymoon we said we would go back to Bali on our 10 year anniversary. Not sure it will happen (still 7 years away) but it would be nice! Next big one is 5, in two years. C will be 2 and change so old enough to stay with grandma for a few days so maybe we will go away then. We will prob be ttc #2 around that point too- yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-anniversary-vacation-when-and-where#post-1383411 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 09:15:23 +0000 MrsBrewer 1383411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our 10 year anniversary we are going back to the resort that we went to for our honeymoon.
