I was just wondering if anyone managed to get any of those "hard to get" vacation dates lately? I just found out that DH and I are getting an extended Christmas vacation, and am now really determined to try to add to our December trip. We are both teachers, and must follow the school schedule. Our 4 kids are in a different school district, and the school schedules don't match. Anyway, reading all of your success stories gives us hope! Thanks!
