Hey, erica--I finally figured out you have 3 kids (I was putting your daughter down as the 6 yr old, but school break didn;t sound right?) DOH.

whatever you do, don't try eastern europe in july! 2 summers ago my husband had trips to Budapest and Bucharest and I got to go on both, then his daughter came with us back to bud.. temps were over 100 and it was total horror with humidity. I've been in northern michigan when it hit 90 and that ain't fun, either!
Wonder what the weather was like in arizona those weeks?
Funny--the kids hardly care as long as they swim and have a pool--bet it doesn;t matter to the baby if he's in Hawaii or Timbuktu! haha
