We have made our minds up and will be heading for Breckenridge for the Christmas Holidays. We are terribly excited and look forward to this trip very much. My wife is making reservations at the moment I write and my father in law is looking for air tickets and me? paying for it all! The kids are already making plans and are very happy. My mother in law is excited and will go to the doctor in order to see if she will be bale to join us skiing. I can relax now and just concentrate on organizing the New Years cruise. I still want to look at another cruise line but I doubt that I will find something better than Carnival, at least this time. I need activities for all the family and a relaxed atmosphere for the kids so it seems that Carnival has it all. Later on in life I would love to try all the other cruise lines, perhaps when the boy go off to college, in the mean time I want to enjoy them as much as possible. I know that as they grow older they wont want to spend the holiday time with us but as I keep repeating to them once you are off to college then it will be your mothers and my time, no more mom and dad hehehe The excitment starts, Halloween is just day away and that is also a big celebration here in the US. The kids are getting their customes ready and so am I.
