When I think about vacations, I always think about the Caribbean. I like to take my vacations in winter as cold weather, rain and gray days depress me.
I live alone and depression is expensive, dear friends. I need to be surrounded my people and that means that I have to feed them. And while it is nice, my budget suffers.
Then there´s the heating. While I´m alone in Winter, I stay in my room with a gas heater. The rest of the house is icy but I´m as near a jail as one can be. And if I try to heat the whole house (or at least the whole first floor) the amount of money I spend in heating is much more than what I can afford.
So I add and substract and decide to spend that same money basking at the sun

All my loved ones are here. I would never move. But a good vacation every year helps.

@marguicha OK. I get it..
Yeah..most probably going on a place where you feel the sun will give you a break from all the cold seasons you had the whole year..

@jndlponti Our winter is short. But from May until September, cold ( even if it isn´t too much) is asking for a break. So I take my vacations then.

That is what I think too. I go to a resort where I can cook my meals and only go once or twice to a restaurant.

@marguicha We go to a hotel where all the food is included, so no cooking for me

That is why I will go with my youngest daughter and 2 of her children in July

I go a couple of weeks every year. It is not so expensive if you cook your own food.

Beautiful picture. It looks gorgeous to me. I have been to Mexico resorts a few times but never the carribbean. But even Mexico is like paradise on the resort; white sand beaches, oceans, umbrella drinks.....Love it. Where have you been? Have any vacation plans to come?

This year I already have the tickets for St. Maarten. I have been to Cancún and to Playa del Carmen, but this year I could not find a place that was not all inclusive and that is too expensive for us.

I loved Italy when I went there. I confess that Switzerland was too full of f order for my taste though.

No. It is not that cold for most people where I live. But I cannot stand gray days, rain or cold weather.
