October sounds great to me. That gives us enough time to line up a travel agent and payment schedules.

It's funny that you suggested the Dominic Republic. I recently interviewed a guy with the NFL that had just returned from a vacation to Punta Cana in the Dominic Republic and he was signing the island's praises.

I looked up flight prices and they were right at $450. The way things are looking if we want to go somewhere really nice, we're going to have to pay for it. The rooms for $100 sounds fine to me. Do you remember which hotel chain it was? Or was it like a resort?

Come on ladies, October will be here before we know it. Let's get our thinking caps on. Ask other friends and co-workers of great vacation spots, preferably an island with white sandy beaches and some umbrella dranks.
