    Looks like you and your boy had an amazing time! I can't wait to do Florida with my two, but it's probably 4 years or so away, since my youngest is only 2. No point going before then!

    We went to NZ and Aus when I was 12 (my dad's sister lives in NZ) and it was the most memorable trip of my life. We also spent three days in Hong Kong on the way back which was amazing. I'd love to take my kids tehre one day, but again when they're a bit older.

    It'd be an amazing achievement to save up for a trip of a lifetime like that and show your boy another bit of the world. Good luck!
