Rosalie,

Just a thought, but have you considered a Disney cruise/land package? Seven
days will bring you a 3 or 4 day cruise to the Bahamas, including Disney
private island of Castaway Cay, plus a 4 or 3 day stay at the Walt Disney
World Resort itself. The cruise aboard the Disney Magic has all types of
kids and/or adult programs, so she is sure to meet some boys. And even
through not a real safari in the traditional sense, Disney's Animal Kingdom
at Walt Disney World does feature live animals from all over the world, plus
loads Disney entertainment. Likewise, as a package deal, the total cost is
still within reason.

I have considered Disney and discarded that idea immediately as both
too expensive and too tame. I don't want a location that the child's
dad can drive her too. After all I took her brother to Ireland. I
don't think Disneyworld would compare.

I've done the Animal Kingdom thing and was not impressed, and I've
done the Bahamas from a real boat. The cruise that my other grandson
took was to the Bahamas and he hated it although it probably wasn't
Disney. If I were going to do a Disney cruise it would NOT be to the
Bahamas.
