that's one thing I don't want to do. I want to have an experience.. see some history. Not just get wasted. I can do that here. |

some idea's I had..
Italy
Greece
Prague
Budapest
Tokyo
Beijing
Tialand
The asian spots might be difficult because of the price.. and I'm only going to have about a week. think i would want longer since it's basically 24 hours flying each way. |

i wouldn't bother doing Asia if you're only going for a week. you're right in that the flight alone would essentially kill off 2 days.
quite honestly, anything under 2 weeks I'd just do an all inclusive since the flight cost alone might not make it worth it to go elsewhere when you consider how long you'll be going for.
ps. if you're looking to do something more alternative than an all inclusive but you've only gotta week or so I'd suggest Central America.
good site for suggestions --> www.bootsnall.com

| I'm off to Vegas on Friday, then hiking the Grand Canyon and then a few days at a resort in Sedona AZ... should be fun. |

It's that time.... I need to get away.. but I can't for the life of my decide on where i want to go.
I'm going to take a week maybe 10 days in Jan. I want to go somewhere that's not totally freezing... that has lots of history.
I don't want to go the caribean/mexico. yes hot is nice, but I don't want to do the tourist trap thing. That's why I'm going I'm going in the off season.
any one have any good suggestions? |
i take google earth vacations everyday at my desk at work! that would be one way to find some place interesting.
how about the mediterranean

I know its not as satisfying as backpacking around Chile or whatever, but All Inclusives are the bomb, gonna drink and eat myself stoopid |
my coworker is from DR and he was saying that for the first time ever he booked at a resort and not stay wiht family becuase there is so much crime going on that they have a mandatory cerfew at night.....he was saying that there is nothing to do at night unless you stay at a resort (so...good call booking one!) :wtf:

Prague & Italy are both very good choices, I hear Budapest is real nice too. I am desperate to get back to Spain tho... too bad its not gonna be as cheap as it used to be. Amsterdam is also awesome. |
