vacation planning is such a hassle

[dozersmama]

For christmas I was given a one week vaction to wherever I wanted to go. Well I know i want to go to the beach. Im thinking puerto rico cayman islands or cozumel mexico. ANy suggestions ? Has anyone been to these places? Also I am trying to get the best deal I can but it is such a head ache. Help

That sounds awesome! I have no suggestions because I would go anywhere to get away from the cold!

We have nice beaches in Hawaii.... can get you a Bully fix while your here as well

I second what @Telly03 said. Even when it's raining it's great.

I heard Aruba is a great place to go to too.

I'm no help, our "vacations" always consist of Denver and Michigan to visit family. But I've always wanted to go to Hawaii!

I would love to go on another cruise, anywhere.

I want to go to Europe. Not exactly beachy,
but I'm sure they have some too.

I have been to the Caymen Islands, and Cozumel, all on a 5 night 6 day cruise out of Tampa. It was fantastic and everything is included EXCEPT alcohol. It was cheaper than booking a flight, buying all our food and not knowing what to do. On the cruise ship everything is laid out for you. I actually swam with the wild stingrays. It was on the Carnival Insperation. Check it out. I also took another cruise 3 months later out of Orlando Carnival Sensation, to the Bahamas and Atlantis, Atlantis was fantastic, that trip was OK, the Bahamas is kind of Ghetto believe it or not, but it was 300.00 per person and again all food and fun was included. That was a 4 night 5 day cruise.

All good options I would just personally say no to Mexico. I'd be afraid to go anywhere in Mexico right now because of all the violence they have going on there right now

@TessaAndSamson i totally forgot about that that is kinda scary. if i get kidnapped and help hostage noone will pay my ransome so as much as i would love to go to mexico maaybe your right. @KMARINO i thought about a cruise but i think i want to spent more time seeing things adn being in the ocean than on it . How long do you usually get when you make stops on a cruise?
@Telly03 how warm is it there right now and how warm is the water?

[TessaAndSamson]

@dozersmama I am sure Telly can tell you better but when I went to Hawaii we went to Kona on the Big Island. Awesome place if you choose Hawaii! But the water was nice and warm, like a luke warm bath!

[dozersmama]

Sounds amazing an no passport needed so that is a bonus. I hear it's extremely expensive thouugh. That seems to be the only downside. Even though it's a gift I am still an extremley frugal person:bust: I cant help it lol.
