You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I'm torn. I'd love to go, but I'm not sure what the expenses would be like. Plus, I don't have a passport and I know it takes a while to get one.

Well, this place looks amazing (it's three apartments that rent separately--they're available at different times, but looks like it would have to be the first week of April)

Some alternate suggestions..mostly looks like Easter week is all booked up, though.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That first one is gorgeous. I wonder if earlier in March is easier to find than Easter.

Not at that place...I think it's partly just that most people plan their tropical vacations sooner than I manage to? :)

Couple of other options, though early April also works for me. It's just so faaar.

The status is NOT quo.

First week of April would work for me!!

meara's first or third links are my faves.

I definitely vote for a pool--the beach is nice (better than Puerto Vallarta) but I still like pool time too). And last week in march would be great for me (and sooner!) but seems to be extra booked and extra expensive because its Easter. But the one place you linked to seemed to be ok for then...

(Earlier in march could also theoretically work for me, but I'd need to request the time off ASAP)

Yeah, pool on site for sure. I think the ones I linked weren't great on that. If first week of April is where we end up, I'm leaning towards your third link. But I can poke around a little more today.

Trust my rage

FYI, it looks my one week of availability is also the free week for the entire world. Since that's my only window, count me out. Maybe next year.
