Girl, I here ya! I want to go back, but am trying to find a good deal. It's tough because I want to fly out of my local (small) airport because, if I'm going alone, I want to reduce my stress level wherever I can...

Try orbitz -- it lets you compare prices from several diff airlines at once. I often then go to the best looking airline's web site and they often are slightly cheaper than price on orbitz

Yeah we have the same story! We can only stay at one of two hotels - we're opting for the one with a pool and AC because we'll have our 8 yr old with us!! I think it's called the Hotel Princess?? We'll be down there from June 25th or 26th until July 5. Our little Jessica turns one on Fourth of July!! We can't take her out of the hotel either but maybe before we get her we can meet up? Keep me posted on your travel plans!!
