Ive found a travel agent that is sympathetic to my dietary needs. YEAH! Now were having a hard time deciding where to go (our anniversary is in march)
An all inclusive cruise to a warmer climate: mexico, south america, bahamas.
A BEAUTIFUL B&B about 2 hours from where were going to be living, but they want $295-$350 a night.
Hubby has mentioned he would be more in favor of staying of staying closer to home because of our children. I want to go on the cruise because it's something different, and we don't have to pay extra for our food, plus we would be paying more if we stayed at the B&B. My brother and his wife are going to take care of the kids. So we know they will be well taken care of. What should we do?
Opinions are greatly appreciated.

Beth, LOL! Yeah he doesn't like being aboard a navy vessel. Im not sure how he's feeling about a pleasure cruise.

Sandwest, he's not 100% adamant about the B&B. The kids are going to be with my brother. We have a son with very mild autism (VERY ACTIVE) , and two very active twin girls. He just wants to be closer to be closer "just in case". My brother is good daddy to his 3. I don't worry about the kids as much as I think my hubby is gonna miss the kids more then he's letting on. LOL!

Jjamiah, HIYA! Yeah my hubby calls me the QUEEN OF CHEAP!

Is hubby adamant about the B&B? It won't be a very special anniversary if either of you are unhappy about your choice of destination. If you can't find a reasonable compromise, go with hubby's choice and make him believe it is your choice as well. He will be happy, and he will make you happy as a result. Sound condensending? Maybe it is, but men are so simple. Support them and they will give you the world. It really works! And you are both happier for it.

I would go for the all inclusive cruise, you'll have a great time, and everything but your gambling is included.. plus you get to stop in great ports and check out things.. Why would you spend that kind of money on a B&B and be "kind of stuck there" when you could go on the trip of a lifetime? I understand wanting to be there for your kids, but if you have 2 responsible adults watching them, take the plunge.. you don't get to many oportunities to go on a romantic cruise together and know your kids are well cared for! Have a great time!!

Go on the cruise and leave your troubles (and kids) behind. It sounds like you really need a vacation, and cruising is the most relaxing kind. No wondering where to go for dinner -- everything is right there. The kids will be fine and you're just talking a week or so. Enjoy.

FLOWERS: Ancient pagans may have offered flowers to the dead but Jehovah's Witnesses don't offer flowers to the dead because they know that "the dead are conscious of nothing at all." (Eccl. 9:5) They may offer flowers to the bereaved LIVING relatives since this is a sign of comfort and is a NON-pagan custom in the Western world. EMBALMING: Embalming can best be described as the preserving of a human or animal corpse The faithful and righteous man Jaccob requested that he was to be embalmed and his son, Joseph, honored his request. (Gen. 49:29-31; Gen. Chap. 50) Both Jacob and Joseph were men of faith. (Hebrews 11:21, 22) The embalming of Jacob allowed for the large, slow-moving caravan of family members and Egyptian dignitaries to travel about 250 miles to take Jacob’s remains to Hebron for burial. (Genesis 50:1-14) Likewise today, if family members and friends are coming from a distance and there is a desire to view the body, no doubt the remains will have to be embalmed to some degree. WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES: There are no pagan origins connected to marriage. God instituted this arrangement Himself.

In my opinion, you two should give a time for yourselves and enjoy the time. Everyday you are with your children so its not that bad to take a vacation. You should go in the cruise and have fun. Call your brother to know about the kids and everything, but they will be allright. Try to convince your husband ;)

This is a special time in your life. If you can go on the cruise than I would go. You can go to any B&B any time of the year, but to go on a cruise you will see and do things together. If the kids are well taken care of, I don't see a problem with going.

I can understand what you are going through, my huby and I had a similar thing happen when we decided to renew our vows (still in planning) I wanted Hawaii, he didn't. He doesnt like planes or ships becuase of his time in the Marines. That could be whats up with your husband. He also stated that he wanted to be near a golf course (we are planning a weekend event) becuase his family loves to golf. We compromised and I like this better, we are spending less money, but it is to my favorite place in the world. It is right on the beach to one of the Great Lakes. Try to look for an alternate that fits both of your desires. Good luck, and Have Fun!

Go and get away. Let your worries be taken away and renew that love and the relationship you have with your spouse.
But I can sympathize with him wanting to stay closer to home for the kids. But you guys need time alone.
Also it is something different to go on a cruise, and cheaper, how can he complain??

You should go where you think you will enjoy more. It's your anniversary and it's time to rekindle your love for one another. As you say the kids will be in good hands, go to that cruise.
