Anniversary Trip Ideas

I can't believe our second anniversary is exactly a month from today (or less by the time I actually get around to publishing this post). Now it's no secret that I love to travel. I am trying to convince Mike that we need to go away for our anniversary and make it a tradition that every year on our anniversary we should go away. Sometimes it's a little difficult to convince my Suzy Orman budget guy that it's a worth while expense, so I am constantly sending him ideas and emails with details and prices of potential trips we could do.

This year in contention I had several ideas however most of them were probably too expensive for our budget, but a girl can dream. So far I've emailed him ideas of:

•  A trip to Europe to Budapest, Vienna and Prague through Gate 1 travel, that one def didn't get any traction with him 
• Then there was a cruise on Royal Caribbean on the largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, around the Caribbean, but since we did the cruise last year and there was the Hurricane he wasn't overly keen on that one either
• I also found a cruise around the Greek Islands for 11 nights on Royal Caribbean, which would have been my ultimate dream and highest preference. The cruise itself was ridiculously cheap at only $600 per person for 11 nights, and obviously includes all your food. Unfortunately the airfare was close to double that sadly. The cruise left from Venice, went to Athens, Turkey, Mykonos, Santorini, and Croatia, that's like my dream cruise. I def plan to do that at some point, I will convince him! 
• There was also a long weekend possibly in the Santa Fe, New Mexico area. Our friend Matt from work had done this with his wife and loved it, and neither one of us have ever been out west to that area before, but I heard it was beautiful, it was also pretty cost effective 

I almost have Mike convinced on a trip, so our two leading contenders at this point are either 

• A week down in Florida at my Grandparents condo in Fort Lauderdale, this is obviously the cheapest option as we only have to pay for airfare and a rental car for the week. Sadly my Dad's sister decided to put the condo on the market, although the rest of us are all really upset about it, it's such a fantastic condo that we love going to, so Mike and I didn't book our airfare yet because we were worried about it being on the market.
  
  If we do go there, I asked Mike if we could go back to Disney for the day, since it also happens to be the EPCOT food and wine festival going on that point which I would love to go. I may have also preemptively made us dinner reservations at the California Grill at the Contemporary Resort just in case we do go (it's very hard to get reservations). It would be on the night of our actual anniversary overlooking the Magic Kingdom during the fireworks show, I think it sounds perfect to me!
  
• Our other choice, which I think we're currently leaning slightly more towards would be a week in Punta Cana at an all inclusive resort, which is surprising since neither one of us are really huge beach people, but we've heard good things about going there. We would potentially leave on Monday morning coming back on Saturday. There are some really good, cheap, deals out there for the all inclusive resorts there that look really enticing! So we might be spending our anniversary at the beach. Neither one of us have done an all inclusive resort before so it could be fun. Right now we're looking at either the Majestic Colony or Barcelo Bavaro Palace

I think we are going to try and make a decision this week as to what we want to do, so let's see what we hopefully pick, I'd really like to go on vacation for our anniversary if we can swing it!
