Family vacation...

OK, so I made the presentation about the different vacation options to my family at our 4th of July cookout and I think it was well received! :)

The majority vote was for the all-inclusive 5-night stay in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We'd be staying in the Riu Ocho Rios Resort. The cost per person for an ocean view, double occupancy room is $679, but that price doesn't include airfare, which means it could end up costing about $1,100 per person.

The next vacation option that had the most votes was a 5-night cruise to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and the Grand Cayman Islands. The price per person for an inside cabin: $459, for an Ocean View cabin: $529 and for a Balcony view cabin: $629. It was hard for many to decide between a cruise to Jamaica or an All-Inclusive stay in Jamaica, plus, the price of each option nearly swayed more votes to the cruise option.

Now, I'm all for flying to Jamaica for vacation, but I do want as much of our family as possible to come and take part in the vacation. That is why I'm going to wait until Monday (July 12) to tell the travel agent our decision. I want to give family members the time to really evaluate which trip they'd like to go on. If you're a family member reading this, please reply to this post to let me know your vote.
