Australia and Europe I find pretty far... tough for those that don't like flying.
Japan (Tokyo just 10 hrs away, 9 hrs return) with young kids is great. Just be warned that elevators/escalators are rare in train stations...

This was all cheaper than flying direct with CE.

Lol I am also going to Asia in March, including Shanghai.
If you have school-aged kids and they're doing OK in school, I wouldn't hesitate to take them out of school for ~2 weeks to travel during off peak periods. If you can book the vacation around stat holidays and/or Pro-D days then you don't miss that much after all.
