I find it quite funny, and strangely synchronistic, that my decision regarding my job and our final decision on a vacation (togetherness break) destination almost coincided. In both cases, there is a noticable difference in the weight carried on my well-sculpted shoulders.
Alas, we had to give up on our plans for Venice. Because we're working with the money that people gave us for our wedding, our budget is set in stone, and we simply do not have enough to make Venice worth it. We could probably get there, and stay there, but we'd have nothing left to "DO" anything with, and where's the fun in that? And believe me, we tried every possible angle. At one point, we were even considering (thanks to Traudie's suggestion) flying to Frankfurt, renting a car and making the 12 hour drive to Venice through the mountains.
So, true to our word, we called the Flight Centre ans asked them to send us anywhere we could afford. They seemed a little freaked out by our total lack of requests or issues. We told them that we really didn't care what country it was or where we'd be staying as long as it fit our dates and budget. We'll be leaving April 8 for a week in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

If you can believe sister-in-law Ruth (and you can, Patrick you can!), you'll love Punta Cana. She and niece Karina just got back from a couple of weeks there, and she's been raving about the miles of perfect beach, great weather, comfortable digs, yummy food, and on and on and on. Are you sure you and Michael don't need a valet to accompany you? Secretary? Court jester? If I sleep on the floor? Just a thought.
Ah well, have a wonderful time!
