My wife and I, plus three other couples usually go on vacation together, children included (we knew each other while in university and, even though we all live in different cities, we kept meeting once a month). Last summer we rented a house in Porto Santo (Madeira - Portugal). This year we decided, for the first time, to leave kids with their grandparents and go to North Africa :-) We are now searching where to go and a decision will be taken in our next weekend meeting. One thing I already know: none of our children are enjoying the idea of letting their parents go to Africa in a big "adventure" where lions live :-) > Bob > > >> >> Hello! >> > [...] >> >> * Next summer I'll be going on vacation to the North of Africa.
