[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here!  Looks like most people say shelve the idea for a few years.  But also some good advice and encouragement.

A couple of responses to some points and questions:

-re. award travel...we are not depending on using points but it would be nice and I know we will be overpaying for flights.  The procastinator penalty.
-Re setting expectations....I totally get that this trip is going to look different and to set my expectations accordingly.
-the kids not remembering it....eh, I don't really care about that.
-Easter and scheduling...we were just scratching our heads about what to do for childcare with school being closed for a week so. Hadnt yet thought about just choosing another time to go.

And I have long accepted that any trip, whether its Europe or a Caribbran trip, are not true vacations with kids...

Thank you!

Seriously: Just go to an easy, developed country in Europe with a playground and children’s museum tour rather than a night club-/art museum focus. Aim for destinations with nice indoor playspaces or other rainy day activities.

If you have fun with your kids here, you’ll have fun with them on vacation.

And I personally remember some zoos and playgrounds we visited when I was 3, so it’s possible your children will remember parts of their trips.[/quote]
