Ok, not sure what to do here! Need help with vacation situation!
Ok, Dh and I are seriously confused and can't figure out where to go on vacation!
I personally always dreamed of going to Vienna. It was originally one of our honeymoon destinations, but we decided against it and just concentrated on Italy instead... anyway...
I also ALWAYS wanted to go to New Orleans.
So, now we can't decide where to go! Me, I am always for going to Europe over traveling within US. I feel that now, a few months before we start trying to TTC, and we are young, single and can just get up and go whenever we are pleased, is the time to see the world. Who knows when we will be able to go to Europe again...
BUT, DH is really leaning toward New Orleans, He already went there once 8 years ago with his brother, but naturally going with me will be very different! Also, they didn't get to see much!
Of course going to New Orleans will be more relaxing, easier and cheaper. No jet-lag, no intense touristy itinerary, everyone speaks English, my DH is not going to be cranky as we always get when I want to go to every cathedral, every museum and look at every single painting etc. ( that IS one of the reasons why he would rather go to New Orleans )
Because of a number of circumstances we can only start our vacation from the evening of April 1st and come back on April 7th.
Dh left the choice entirely up to me even though he is leaning more towards NO.
I am really not sure what to do here and am changing my mind literally every day!
Let's here it from the LIW girls! Please... say something!

I voted for New Orleans, only because I think overseas vacations should be longer than a week. But this is from a person who has never been overseas, so what do I know.
Or you can just come to Vegas and hang out with me and DH. We will be there from the 4th -7th

I'm thinking it will be easier to go to New Orleans when you have kids because you will still be in the country and not feel so separated from the kids (assuming you leave them home). I say go to Vienna now!

Vienna all the way!!!!
Unless....
you can negotiate that next year you will go to Vienna (before any children arrive) and you go to New Orleans now. (and maybe next year you can get more time off than 7 days).
I definately would not give Vienna up easily though, and the one regret many of my friends have who have children is that they didn't travel enough or travel to places they really wanted to travel to before they had kids.

I voted Vienna. It will be easier in the future to get to NO - plus IMO you don't need more than about 4 days down there. The partying does get to you after awhile...

vienna, vienna, and more vienna. it's an absolutely gorgeous city and who knows when you'll get the chance again. new orleans is so easy to get to, you could even drive if you had to. leave it for later. if you decide on vienna, i would strongly suggest also going to salzburg, which imo is one of the most gorgeous little cities in the world. and i bet it's just beautiful in april. and if you're into the sound of music at all you'll love it there. it's so pretty and relaxing after the hustle and bustle of vienna. good luck with your choice, i'm sure you'll have a great time wherever you choose!

Vienna! You'll get 5 full days in and while of course longer is better, take what you can get and go now!
