Travel Reccomendations
I just found out that the clients I’ve been looking after dont’t sound they’ll be doing anymore drilling till June. So I unexpectedly have a few months off. Been pretty crazy busy with work for the last couple years so not worried about $$ right now. It’s just me and the wife so we’re thinking we may go be beach bums for a few weeks.
Do you guys have any recommendations for somewhere that is relatively cheap when you get there (ie Food/VRBO)? We’ve done Mexico a bunch but would like to try something different. Hawaii has cheap flights (and we’ve been to Maui a few times) but with the exchange, a multi week holiday will add up. Beach and sun are the only real requirements.

I know a couple that went to the Fiji Islands and from there they hopped around the islands. Besides the 3K airfare for two, it cost the couple about 4.5K while there for a 6 week stay. They said they could have done it cheaper if they had used the hostels instead of hotels.

My brother swears by Costa Rica. Ecuador and Panama are both worth checking out too.

Try Cuba - some cayos (Islands?) are secluded and really relaxing. We did Cayo Santa Maria awhile back, really enjoyed it.
Would like to have seen Havana though. Try that?

Hi,
I was in Alanya with my family last summer and it was really terrific! Nice weather, Sunny beaches, All-inclusive hotel, nice food and sightseeing. What can I say except: Go!

Jamaica hands down. We flew into montego bay last may. Stayed at the Hilton Rose hall resort. Lots to do on or near the resort. Some of the highlights would be the luminous lagoon, or the deep sea fishing.

If Beach and sun are the only real requirements then all central America is pretty cool, esp Costa Rica is paradise.

I would say you cant go wrong with Bermuda. Especially the surroundings of Horseshoe Bay Beach in Southampton! That place is magical!
