We are about halfway through saving for what was going to be a 2015 South Pacific vacation that was going to be thoroughly and meticulously planned and researched.
Well, H just got an offer to work on a documentary in Vanuatu (islands in the South Pacific) in October (!!!!). Which means his flight, closing in on $2K, is completely paid for. So with the money we have now plus whatever we can scrape together + credit cards we are going to try to make this trip happen with my flying out there at the end of October.
We have $3000 saved, and we can probably save another $1000 in the next two months by trimming some expenses. We are not opposed to putting some on credit cards, but would obviously love to keep that at a minimum. We would like to do around 10 days, but getting time off work isn't really an issue for either of us.
My question, for anyone who is familiar - what should we do??? I'm kind of freaking out, and I suppose I should try to contact a travel agent. Should we try to make it over to Australia? Should we stay in Vanuatu? Go somewhere else in the South Pacific? While we LOVE the outdoors, hiking, etc. we're not exactly fitness buffs so we couldn't do something active every day. Our ideal vacation when we go anywhere is probably 70% active stuff, 30% taking it a little more easy.
Thanks to any direction anyone could give us!
