We gotta get outta this place

What's the point of having all this disposable income of Gene's if we're not going to take a trip? I ask you.

I want to take a big trip of course, but not until the weather warms up. So for now, I am looking at small trip options. Please chime in if you have thoughts about the following:

New York
Last time we were there I was tired of traveling and just wanted to lie in bed reading. This time I'd like to go and do all the stuff we didn't get to do before. Plus, Ash is there now.

Disneyland
I'm lobbying hard for this. Disneyland is best with a group, so if you're into Disneyland please speak up now.

Hawaii
One of my uncles has lived in Hawaii most of his life. He's a hugely social guy who knows all kinds of people around the islands. He's also got a boat. And he's been telling us we should visit for awhile now.

I know these all seem like kind of obvious choices, and I've been all these places before. Still, we know people in all three destinations and none of them require a 10+ hour plane ride.

Thoughts? Questions? Comments? Bring it.

The only place I hate more than New York is Disneyland.

Therefore, I vote for Hawaii. Just watch out for sea urchins and spiders.

Hawaii + boat seems like the obvious winner here. Go to New York when it's warmer.

I vote Hawaii for the many-mile hike options that take you through jungle and land you at the foot of smoking, oozing volcanoes (Pu'u O'o on the Big Island).

But only if you like leeches.

Bring a camera, a rainproof Camelbak in which to stuff said camera, a large amount of hippie trail mix, and comfortable, water-resistant hiking boots. Watch out for oubliettes and don't venture out too far on the lava.

Or, spend your whole day in the hot springs and/or snorkeling with sea turtles.
