we have decided not to go vs we have decided to not go

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'We have decided not to go' implies that a decision's been made to stay or do something else instead of going. 'We have decided to not go' suggests the decision has been made to actively avoid going. The placement of 'not' can change the sentence's emphasis and meaning.
