More winter vacation ideas, around the globe:

Fiji Resorts for Families: it's the fantasy of the unspoiled tropical paradise. But a Fiji resort seems so far, so out of reach... Think again. Logistics -- and price-- may be more manageable than you believe.

Bahia, Brazil: Breezes Costa de Sauipe -yes it's far; but this planned resort mega-complex is super, and a dollar goes a long way once you're there.

Family Adventures in Asia: escorted tours to Viet Nam, China, etc.; all details handled; cultural experiences plus fun such as waterparks.

Gold Coast, Australia: below the Great Barrier Reef is "Surfers Paradise". with 30 km of beaches plus several "funparks" such as Seaworld and Wet 'n' Wild.

Family Cruises: AKA "floating resorts", many cruise ships woo families with extensive kids' programs and lavish facilities such as water parks. Disney Cruises lays on a private island: 1000-acre Castaway Cay in the Bahamas is a stop on all Caribbean sailings, with white sand beach, watersports, bike rentals, kids programs in a play area; teens have their own beach with rope swing, or can sign up for teen activities.
