I couldn't imagine going in the summer. Besides, I love our summers where I live, time for hanging at the lake.
My wife has at least 10 more years of teaching before she can consider retiring, or slowing down and subbing. So for the next several years it will be a 2 weeks Christmas trip or a week to somewhere other than Jamaica.
