Vacation Puzzle
Nian is off on her way to her office so I have time for a quick post tonight. We've spent the last few nights trying to plan our next get together. Ideally it would be one week including July 20th to include the one-year anniversary of the day I proposed (my birthday). Since our marriage was November 14th (or 19th depending on whether you celebrate the certificate or the ceremony) pushing the visit back to August would make for the halfway point between my last visit and the more important marriage anniversary. Trouble is Nian would like us to economize (and this year has been expensive). I could just go to Guangzhou, but that makes for three visits to Guangzhou, and with Nian's parents getting on her nerves it would be nice to visit somewhere outside of China. Nian has suggested Singapore, and this may be where we end up going. But I'm still looking for more good (affordable) ideas. I have Googled a lot, and sadly, while Orbitz.com and others are good at finding specific deals, they are not so good at offering up bargains given some initial broad suggestions (maybe I just don't know how to navigate the sites well).
Bottom line: anyone with vacation suggestions for a married couple trying meet somewhere halfway between Chicago, Illinois and Guangzhou, China, they are more than welcome to speak their minds.
