Thanks for all of the responses. I just get a little worried when I think about spending all of our hard earned money. Now that I have found your site I will have to plan a lot sooner next trip. I thought 3 months would be ok but am finding out that alot of the nicer places we have looked at are sadly gone already. I have a fixed vacation through my work place and did not find out until November when it was going to be. Then with all of the Christmas festivities and shopping we were really unable to start looking. Now we have hit it hard only to find we may be settling or increasing our rental budget to get the things we would like to have for this once every 5 year or so vacation. But my children have never seen the ocean and we want this to be a wonderful experience for them. Once again thanks for all of the help.
