Here are my 2012 trip options:

April looks tough. I would have to go early April...late April/May is the time of year when my work load is crazy. And my sons' rugby games start April 20ish. I could sneak a week in, MAYBE, around April 10/13 to 17/20.

May is out. Both sons have rugby games each Fri/Sat. My son Jac is in the season where he might get recruited...I gotta be there for every game...he's only got this year and next...

June is ok, with the exception that I also go on vacation to Maine in July. It's also less attractive to me to go to a warm place during the months of June July August September.

Sept/Oct/Nov:
My older son's senior year of football. Who knows how well they will do but last year they won 4 playoff games after the regular season. Scheduling is dicey.

November I have a tenative tripped planned...already was thinking of moving back to Dec/Jan though. See above.

I am thinking:

Option #1:
Scrap April. Add a quick 7-8 day in June. Scrap November, add December and bring my sons for 9 days +/-

Option #2
Scrap all the trips until December. Bring my sons for the holiday week; fly them back home for school, and stay as long as possible into January.

Option #3:
Fly down for a cheap AI 3-5 day April trip (see 'em sometimes for like $400 last minute). Scrap the rest and schedule the December trip, but somewhat shorter.

FYI: budget IS a concern, too...obviously. But I can stay in Negril for dirt cheap if needed. The key is "what is the most economical use of my time?" and when will I "enjoy myself the most?"

PATTY: Do you think $500 per Brasi signature is feasible? LOL jk

Anyway: what do you all think? I'm not John Quinones, but WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
