Did you end up deciding anything further PZ?

We went to Thailand for 2 weeks for $2000. It was 2006, so things might have changed a little. We did heaps - some beach lounging (including marriage proposal!) and some exploring, a cooking class, sunrise hikes, touristy stuff in Bangkok. We were without child then, obviously, so we could rough it a bit more, but it was easy to do. Where DH proposed was a beautiful family friendly fairly quiet island. Huge, plenty of tourist facilities, but not that wild vomit-in-the-gutter party type place that other islands are. Really nice.

I'd also rate Malaysia. A little bit more exxy, but so much easier to get around too.

I'm on the Fiji or Vanuatu team - I have been to both those, Bali and Thailand and especially while pregnant, I would be going the shorter flights. I went to the Maldives 13 weeks pregnant which was very long and uncomfortable so any more pregnant than that would be even worse I am sure! Fiji flights are on sale some times, I went about a year and a half ago and paid $200 one way, was very happy! And the flight is only about 4-5 hours from memory? I don't know if I would want to do more than that, but stayed at a gorgeous, beautiful place and lots of blue water and powder sand - just like you'd hope for on a relaxing holiday. You also need to worry less about food and water issues like they have in Thailand and Bali. I was very vigilant in Bali, brushed teeth with bottled water etc but still ended up with an upset stomach by the end of the trip!

Audax - wow that sounds amazing. What a lucky woman.
