I need a Vacation...

58-4ever · 02-08-2007, 10:13 PM

Tell me about the best vacation you've ever had. Should I go all-inclusive? I may get married in August and we should have four or five thousand to spend. Any suggestions?

No ---- I don't remember much except waking up on the bathroom floor 4 of the 6 days I spent there...

Acapulco sucks unless you are an eighteen year old American on Spring Break. If you are going to vacation in the Yucatan you should go to Playa del Carmen.

Yep I was there last summer-nice place. Rode motor bikes around Cozumel-went to the ruins. Beautiful beaches, women, all inclusive. Nice place for a reasonable price.

I suggest Sandals St. Lucia, which is where we honeymooned 5 years ago. It's all-inclusive and they have 2 resorts with free shuttle back and forth from which to choose. We never got bored of the various restaurants and it was really nice. They have tons of free activities during the day and scuba, boating, and para-sailing for a nominal charge. The room wasnt particularly luxurious but without spending $15-20k, you're not going to get a week at a 5 star all-inclusive. I highly recommend it.

I got a quote of 5200 for 6 nights in the Sandals Antigua resort, which is all-inclusive.

That is where we went as well. I second his recommendation...

Are you talking honeymoon or one-last-trip-while-I'm-single? My wife and I honeymooned at the Evason Resort on the Thai island of Phuket. Great service, relaxing, beautiful...you can stay all week within the resort (swimming, great food, massages, etc) or you can choose to check out the culture around the island (Pattaya, nightlife, markets, local food, etc). The Evason owns their own island and you can take a longboat to it and spend the afternoon there on the beach with drinks and such. Very relaxing and lots to do if that's what you're looking for.

p.s.- We didn't pay for it so I really don't remember how much it costs.

Wasn't that island smashed up by the tsunami a few years ago?

Yes, but on the opposite side that the resort is on.

Well the good news is you're only 19. You have your whole ****ing life ahead of you to take some vacations!

Get a job, save some money, and go somewhere.

The best vacation I've ever had was Panama City Beach for Spring Break. That was BY FAR, the best week of my life. It was everything I want my life to be. Everyday you sleep in, wake up, put some steak on the grill at your beach house, head out to the beach with a big mug of rum and coke. Get sloshed, stare at 19 year old sluts all day. Then go back, kick it with your boys, playin drinking games. Get the hot chicks from next store to come over and have them make out and get naked with each other. Then go out to La Vela, Spinnaker, and Harpoon Harry's and narc your denim cock against chicks arses. Stumble around and watch hard rock cover bands. Then do it all over again, most glorious experience of my life. Stuff like this makes it hard for me to understand why I work so much. Work has ruined my life.
