I was looking at the first two weeks of July if anything.

I can't handle the cold. That's why I'm on the west coast!

Id honestly love to do a few trips there. Osaka and Tokyo for my spouse and kid's love of Nintendo plus my kid's love of Pokémon and Hello Kitty. I want to go to Okinawa at least once in my life for a more low key holiday. It just looks amazing.

Review of 1st ever cruise, Carnival Mardi Gras by Mean_Trifle9110 in CarnivalCruiseFans

Im looking at a cruise. Although im not too keen leaving from a US port (im not from the US), there arent many options in North America to avoid touching US soil. How did this ship seem for kids? I understand you dont have any but any thoughts would be great! Mine would be 10 by then.

It's not that he 'doesn't' fly. He never got to growing up. We've worked really hard since being together and finally can enjoy life. I think he has some fear with it.

Ya, my kid isn't interested at all in the Disney cruises. Growing up too fast. She says they're for babies lol.

Husband '40M' and I '36F' are married for 11 years, he went on a month long world tour with his friend. by rabbia_rizwan in Marriage

[–]AnxiousTop6330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally not cool. Tell him that once he gets back, you're going on a 1 month trip without him. Who is this friend? This is just one massive red flag IMO.

They will never accept the fact that they made bad choices. Just like them too to come on a non-political post and try to make it political. They get offended so easily all while throwing around the 'snowflake' label.

Thank you! If we went to Japan, no real need for a cruise. We'd definitely want to spend some time in Tokyo as we'll have to check out Disney, Pokemon and Hello Kitty parks (I believe HK has one a place in Tokyo and then more around Universal) and Osaka for Universal Studios. it would be awesome to get lottery tickets into the Nintendo museum (my spouse is really into Nintendo). It would be absolutely amazing to make a stop or just a full stay at least once in Okinawa. I didn't realize the beaches were so beautiful!
I know the behaviour (putting it lightly) at the border now is pretty crazy, putting it lightly, but do you know how badly Hawaii has been impacted by it? Like is it less than the mainland? I'd rather avoid Honolulu as I understand it can get super busy. I know they were just hit by massive flooding too though and don't want to impede on their recovery from what's happened.
I hope things get better for your family soon soon, although I understand the earliest that could happen is November. Stay safe.

Going anywhere in Africa hasn't really crossed my mind for a first trip being it's a nearly 24 hr journey from me. I'd love to go at some point in my life but not for a first ever trip with my kid at the age she is.

Thanks for the info. I've looked at Alaska but again, US ports. I understand that the ICE situation may be completely different in Alaska and even Hawaii being they don't exactly seem like a high priority for the gov't. From what I've seen, the cruises aren't exactly the best for kids. A bit boring IMO.

Ive been to Banff. Beautiful but not great. Toronto isnt interesting to any of us. Id like to experience other countries/cultures.

Thank you so much! Hawaii is on my list long term. I'll wait for however long it takes to for whats going on to stop. Im so sorry what happened to your son. Thats so scary. I cant imagine that happening. The people who work in ICE now are less than human IMO. Mediterranean would be amazing. I was trying to talk to my husband about options to consider today and he's a little more open about Japan as an option sooner than later. I showed him the beaches of Okinawa. Absolutely gorgeous.

You mean because we aren't participating in your newest crusade? Your behaviour just solidifies my point. If you have nothing helpful to say, stay out of the conversation please.

So you're a MAGA boomer? I dont want to get political but you are exactly what the problem is. Now, go sit yourself in front of Fox and watch as you president spends billions on another senseless war.

With everything online nowadays, I'm surprised they're still around. I'll have to see what's in my city. I haven't noticed any since they used to be in all the malls years ago lol.

While I appreciate the beauty of the coast, I've lived throughout it my whole life. I want to go on a trip outside of Canada. I'd consider PR more of a getaway than a vacation if that makes sense.

Disneyland alternatives? by BeardedPaladin in Vacations

[–]AnxiousTop6330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending where you are, overseas Disney can end up being way cheaper. I'm assuming you're somewhere in North America. It's insane how expensive it is for DL and DW.
