For two consecutive years, my mate and I been holidaying in the Philippines and always end up in the island of Boracay, where we had so much good food and relaxing times. Early this year we found a real good deal to travel to an island called San Andres off the coast of Costa Rica but part of Colombia. Before we got there, We took a flight to Toronto from Vancouver and drove to Niagara Falls. It was my first time to see such majestic work of nature!! Awesome! Our hotel room was overlooking the Niagara Falls and we could also see the U.S. side. Lovely, lovely place for honeymooners.
Then we took a plane ride to San Andres island where we stayed in this cosy hotel by the sea. It was all inclusive -- accommodation, flight, food, drinks, cigarettes, shows etc. for seven days. THe island has 5 hotels where we booked either breakfast, lunch or dinner and each hotel and restaurant served us sumptuous all you can eat meals. We joined an open bus excursion to see the whole island that took us half a day to see its interesting spots, beaches, caves and blowholes. It also introduced us to villages to learn about it's culture and history. There were lots of things to do and we met two couples who had become our friends and explored more of the island riding a golf cart. My mate and I have traveled a bit, but I can say that the holiday we had in San Andres Island is one of the best! I would like to know other holiday spots that you have been to and maybe one day I get to visit and enjoy as well!

I had the best vaation of my life TWICE when I flew to Arizona. Now that I am married to an American, Arizona is literally my second home, but Sedona Arizona is so wonderful that no matter why I go, no matter how much "real life" I have to deal with, it always feels like a vacation to me.

Isn't that wonderful to have experienced a vacation of a lifetime! A place that you'll never forget for the rest of your life! I"ve been to some parts of US but haven't been to Arizona-- I shall put ARIZONA on my list for places to go before I grow old and senile!! Thanks, more power to you!

Ugh! I feel that I'm in a rut right now, the only place I've been through this year was in the world's smallest volcano which is the Taal volcano. I haven't had much time spending on travelling, I guess I have to consider it in the future. I still cannot afford to travel outside the country, but will be glad to spend it in a nice place and then think of a place to go when that time comes!;)


myLot reputation of 98/100. moolahmagnet (2223)  5 years ago

raijin! that's basically why I posted this topic so we have fair idea where to go when we have the chance. Btw, not many people in the world have seen picturesque Taal Volcano, I consider ourselves the lucky ones *wink*

My output this year is really low, compared to those previous years I've been out and friends would simply look for me and act like their tour guide!;)

I really enjoy going off traveling, most of all to places in the tropics. I think that your trip to San Andres Island sounds fantastic and it is just the sort of place I like to go. Seeing palm fringed beaches, blow holes and caves must have made your holiday very enjoyable.

One of my best holidays was a cheap plane ticket to Mexico, then bus down to Belize and Guatemala. I went to Caye Caulker Island a very quiet spot to relax for a few days. I enjoyed some superb snorkeling trips from there, seeing sting rays and sharks. Inland I went on an exciting cave adventure that meant swimming and climbing galore. Wow! I stayed in a very high tree house. I got the most amazing view of the sunrise over the jungle, hearing all the animals wake up.

Another wonderful place I have been to is Samoa, in the South Pacific. I loved spending time in little thatched beach huts overlooking gently waving coconut palm trees and a calm blue ocean. I saw blow holes, lava fields, fruit bats in the rain forest and quickly rushing waterfalls. It was a dream to be the only guest on a tiny palm fringed island for a few days. After two days a more guests to stay there arrived. I did so much snorkeling there and saw the beautiful reef and many friendly fish of all different colors.
