Hard week...

Sort of sick of Laguna Beach though. I guess I have to visit my office sometimes though.

Sadly thats the nicest beach in the LA area.

And its sad in more ways than one

[///M5 2,833]

I loved Cancun, but Key West was awesome, the place I'd like to retire

Seriously? I wouldn't bother to ever visit either of those.

Any reason someplace a bit more fun isn't on your list like Costa Rica?

[///M5 2,833]

My list of places I have looked into starting with the places I think I would like best:

Bora Bora (remote)

Virgin islands, st thomas (touristy)

Virgin islands, st John (remote)

Cancun (touristy)

Key West (touristy)

Hawaii, big island (Remote)

Hawaii, honolulu (touristy)

corpus christi, TX

Do NOT go to Honolulu either. Its fucking terrible.

In general I feel that way about Mexico as well. What time of year?

Too bad it wasn't a year ago as my college roomate just sold his bar on St John's. I could have set you up. If I had to pick off your list that is what I'd pick, but I'd go someplace more adventurous.

Touristy is BAD. Someplace where there are locals is always better. Same regrettably holds true for Europe, but the Mediterranean could be a huge winner anyways.

I got the car sounding pretty good after spending all day working on it, just can't drive it, or the tweeters will fall.

Mexican overdrive?

Hey Aaron where's my recone, you remember the coil config and size right?!?!?!

Hope your weekend is laid back and you can relax.

I started getting random chest pains today, about five times, only lasting for a second each time.

Never had this happen before.

Wore a respirator with a clean filter when cutting mdf today.

That sucks....although at your age its probably acid reflex

That sucks....although at your age its probably acid reflex

I've never had any stomach issues, and I didn't eat anything all day, until about an hour ago. Last night I had salad and steak.

Seems to have stopped, but at first it made me pause.

Damn Sean, you must have one hell of a passport. I haven't even left the east coast.

[ssh 924]

I've been to CA, CO, NM, NV, and Mexico.

A few questions for ANYONE that travels to tropical places. I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary in June. My plan is to take the wife somewhere tropical.

I will start with my ignorance about suck places. I have never traveled outside the US. The only beaches I have been to were in south and north Cali, Oregon, and Washington state. So you could say I would probably be happy just about anywhere thats truely tropical. I honestly don't know what I am looking for in the trip, it could go two ways.

Next, what I would like to get out of the trip. White sand beaches, turquoise water, LOTS of good food and Some local culture to take in. Would LOVE to go somewhere with ALOT of wilderness to explore and hike safely. Snorkeling would be fun too. I am a certified PADI diver but my wife is closterfobic so no diving.

I enjoy explroring local cultures but at the same time probably would like a place that is fairly americanized. I feel I could go two ways in making my choice. I think I would enjoy somewhere remote without any real americanization or could be super happy somewhere thats completely americanized. (remember I take myself to Disneyland every yr for my b-day)

Obviously if money where no object I would choice Bora Bora but its like 6k just for the plane tickets. The complete other direction would be Cancun bc its super americanized, dirt cheap and a single flight from Denver.

My list of places I have looked into starting with the places I think I would like best:

Bora Bora (remote)

Virgin islands, st thomas (touristy)

Virgin islands, st John (remote)

Cancun (touristy)

Key West (touristy)

Hawaii, big island (Remote)

Hawaii, honolulu (touristy)

corpus christi, TX

I have the 10k to go to Bora Bora but with ignorance being bliss is there somewhere I would enjoy just as much for less? This is obviously a once in a life time occasion so want it to be very rememberable.

Please Help me choose a place that will fit my needs.

Any feedback, other places to look into or questions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Grand Cayman, British Virgin Islands, and Anguilla are some very nice places. I know they are not on your list.
