Next year, I have a choice of 2 school-related trips for my spring break:

1. Hawaii: Robotics competition, 3 days but we're planning to stay for a lot longer for site-seeing and crap. Nice and warm, beautiful islands. Parents might be coming. Approx. $1,000.

2. Paris-Madrid: A few days in Paris, and then a few days in Madrid. 2-in-1 package. Beautiful cities, Louvre, FRANCE! No parents, prob. Approx. $3,000.

I know price could be a big factor in where I should go (Hawaii) but I really really want to go to both places. I got into another mini-fight with my mom about going to Paris last night. There's a meeting tonight about itinerary and crap about Paris so I think I might go, even though I might end up going to Hawaii, which is also where my parents want to go too. Meh.
