We have been vacationing with another couple for 7 yrs. Lots of fun!! We mainly vacation in the carribean. We love the beaches. Our husbands like to be more active than us wives. We would just like a 'vacation' of laying on the beach or by the pool sunning, reading, relaxing, and visiting. We had an all inclusive one year. We loved it because you pay up front and don't have to mess with money all the time for meals and drinks. Yes, drinks!! Mmmmmm... daiquiris and margaritas. There was an infinity pool at the resort that overlooked the beach. It was beautiful. My friend and I had our very own pool boys! Well kinda... our husbands were our pool boys. They did a good job. They kept our glasses full and we got very tipsy! We did a cruise before the all inclusive vacation. That was very nice also. We ate in an elegant restaurant in the evenings. It kind of reminded me of the elegance on the Titanic, but fortunately, we didn't sink. The funny thing was that the waiters and waitresses, who were dressed in tuxes and skirts, sang and did this short, funny skit. That was the first time we had been on a cruise. I thought the boat was amazing. It was so huge, it had 3 pools and 1 kiddie pool, 6 restaurants, I think there were 6 levels. Elevators and stairs, mini shopping mall, gambling room, library, game room, hair salon, exercise room, sauna, activities, shows, and I'm sure there was more. We stopped at several islands - Grand Cayman Island, Belize, Honduras, and Cozemel. We are going on another cruise this year that will take us to different islands/countries than the other. It's going to be fun!

Sounds like an amazing vacation. I have never really vacationed with another couple but I can definitely see how it could be fun to do so. I have always wanted to go to the Bahamas. I would go for the all inclusive deal if I went too. Not having to worry about any extra expenses expect souvenirs would be the way to go for me. I am looking forward to hear how everything goes for you...I might have to look into a cruise myself after hearing what a great time you had.

It's fun with another couple but we do need our space. We take a day off from each other and we just do something with our spouse. When you're spending 7-10 days together, you need a break in there! I will let you know when we get back. We always take vacation in September. It's cheaper because it's a slow time of year for vacationers.

I want to go on a cruise on day. Its expensive when you have one little one and another one on the way. So one day down the line me and my husband will go on one. For now we'll take the family vacations that we do get. We go to Virginia every few months or someone from there comes to us and we see them and hang out. Free food is always nice when visiting family even when they are visiting us I don't know why but they like to buy us dinner or make us dinner. I guess its because we have a 1 year old and don't get time to ourselves. I love going to Ohio its a 3 to 4 day trip it only takes 5 hours for us to drive so we leave early in the morning get there in the after noon eat lunch with family, have the kids playing and visiting family they only get to see once a year. Everyone brings or makes something to eat for those few days. Some people stay in other peoples homes with them others of us get hotels. I always get a hotel because then we can be left alone at night time to sleep without other family members walking on you. I'm looking forward to this summer there will be my husband new cousin there she'll be a few months old. My husband little sister will be having her first baby and he'll be there. I'll be fat and pregnant with my second baby. I just love watching all the kids around my daughters age even though they are generations apart in the family its cute to see them bonding together. Its the best part about seeing family.
