Running thru life... Planning a vacation!!!

I have made it tradition as long as Joe and I have been together that each year we take a vacation. 
Some years it is small. 
Some years it is big.  
We have been together for now 6 + years and our vacations are as follows:

2005-2006   Carinval Cruise to Key West and Cozumel
(We were both in grad school at the time so this was definitely a poor students trip but we had a blast.)

2006-2007   Week in my parent's Condo in St Augustine, FL
 (This was right after Joe's Graduation from Grad School-such a blast)

2007  Carnival Cruise to Mexico
(Right after Joe proposed, I finished grad school, and passed my boards!!!)

2008  Vacation again at the Condo in St Augustine FL

2009   Our HoneyMoon in Maderia
(The trip of a lifetime!)



2009-2010   1 year Anniversary in Napa, Ca
( A long weekend trip)



2011 ????

After we come home from one years vacation I start planning the next.  It helps keep me motivated!
So after coming home from Napa we started to think of the possible places we were interested in going. 
We decided since Napa was not a big trip this year we wanted something BIG!!! 
Our list was made up of:

1) Croatia
2) Greece
3) Hawaii
4) Bermuda
5) Austraila
6) Europe

We started by ruling a couple out: 
Australia was just too expensive and to do it the way we wanted we would need more than two weeks. 
Bermuda -we decided is was close and we really could go there anytime. 
Croatia - we ruled it out as we started to look into it and found the transportation between the cities would be a little more difficult (at least for the cities we were interested in going).  Also, we have had a lot of friends that have recently been there and we wanted to do something different.
Europe- we ultimately ruled out because we will be doing that next year in 2012 to visit friends in Scotland
(Yes I know be very jealous... I get to look at Castle and Drink Cider- Life does not get any better.)

That left Greece and Hawaii- both of which we wanted to go to. 

So where will it be???
