I want a beach vacation but I don’t expect complete sunshine everyday, I just don’t want to get stuck in a five day rainy period. I am avoiding the Caribbean islands because I don’t want to get involved with any hurricanes, which is why I have chosen Costa Rica.
well i know im only a teenager, but what is so wrong about wanting to travel? I work–i have a lot of money saved up too, what is wrong about my dad wanting to take us on a nice family vacation?
she married into this family around seven years ago, and i havn’t gone anywhere since then besides our cabin.
is she just jealous that we have that opportunity to travel? When my dad was single…we went to a lot of places–ive been to at least 40 states in the US, mexico, canada, and some caribbean islands. I know i am extremely lucky–but i was really little when all of this happened. She is such a manipulative bitch im sorry-but now she is taking away the family camp
just becuase she has never lived any more than 20 miles from her birthplace
she talks trash about every place i want to go, and even to the point of racism!
Im extremely interested in studying anthropology and culture .this is why i love to travel! my friends have gone so many places i am completely jealous. wat can i do?
the annoying part is that they go on their own little vacations like five times a year! its INSANE! she goes away for a weekend to the casino every month!
last place i went was disney world lol and that sucked becuase she went along too and was whining and moping the whole time…saying how we were too old…and how she just wanted to go dancing
Does anyone on here know of any relatively affordable beachfront hotels in the Caribbean islands, Central America or Pacific? I’m trying to book a vacation but I want to get the best bang for my buck. It seems like the Caribbean beachfront is much too expensive, but any suggestions? Thank you!
My friend has a birthday coming up,and she wants to go to Europe.
I don’t want to,cause the euro is so high against the dollar.
I suggested some place warm,and she nixed that idea ( like the Caribbean islands).
I work for an airline,and she wants to get a travel pass.
Also,I go to this place frequently,and its the last place where I want to be for a vacation.
I just don’t want to go. Any suggestions?
Needless to say,this could put a dent in my budget,since we’ve had massive pay cuts at the company.
I wonder about her motivations.
Once I asked her to write a recommendation for me,and she said to write it myself,and sign her name.
This just didn’t feel right,and I have yet to write it.
What do you think?
I mentioned the other alternatives,and she is so focused on this European trip.
No sun for her!
She doesn’t want to consider anything else.
here is what you need to do if you have not
1. get the U.S. Passport book and sell everything.
2. get your money into another bank in another country ( Switzerland
the Caribbean Islands ) they take financial privacy seriously
this covers you on exit tax
3. go for a 4 year vacation until next election (the ultimate statement )
4. let these be your primary goals
5. rub the noses of little terrorists supporters in their own mess
the mess they have to pay for
6. don’t worry about someone talking noise they are just mad they
can’t get you to pay for their foreign or illegitimate children or
relatives. or mama baby’s daddy
lets look at the facts Barrack Hussein Obama is and always has been a radical Muslim
he even changed his name from Barry Sotero to Barrack Hussein Obama
he even proudly claims in his book that he is related to Luo Raila Odinga ( oppisition leader in Kenya …………………………….thats right the terrorist )
so hey marine do you support terrorists or fight them SEMPER FI
to the getto trash diva esq2b
I shall most certainly throw up 2 fingers I will however throw up 1 just for you and yours
the way you talk is exactly what i am sick and tired of paying for
Here are our must haves:
1) Warm water is a must. Warm like the Caribbean (Aruba, Bonaire), not cooler like Hawaii
2) My husband and I want to go somewhere new. We have been all over the Caribbean, Hawaii, Mexico, Europe, and North Asia (Hong Kong, Taipei, Korea)
3) Beach access to good snorkeling and/or scuba diving. Boat diving is fine, but we are not looking for a seven day scuba dive boat trip.
We have no children, so no children requirements.
We also can go anytime in 2010, so please also suggest a good time when to go (best weather, warm, etc). E.g. I read that Maldives is great in Feb,Mar,Apr.
I have been thinking about Maldives, Bali, Bora Bora, or Cook Islands, but everywhere looks soooo beautiful. We (my husband and I) are open to suggestions for somewhere beautiful.
Thanks everyone.
We are also looking to go for 12-16 days.
We also LOVE having the option to visit two places. For example, for our 16 day honeymoon we visited two Caribbean islands, Aruba and Bonaire. I really enjoyed seeing two places (our main objective then was scuba diving, which was excellent in Bonaire).
Thanks!
heck we keep puerto rico and some caribbean islands… could make iraq like a disney vacation or something.. with an aladan theme.. heck 50 cents per gallon oil sounds great
thank peole but my plan calls for people with SPINES lol…..
well Nina 2 Niña.. i dont see you giving your house and land back to the indians…hmmmm doesnt bother you that much now does it
Latin America is rather large and difficult to pinpoint since it starts from Mexico’s border with the United States of America all the way to a small island called Tierra del Fuego. Latin America also includes all of the Caribbean islands. The cities are one of the weirdest places in Latin America simply because of the people and way of life. When one speaks about Latin America the first thing that usually comes to head is a beautiful place that is mostly occupied by poor peasant farmers who do not know much about anything. Maybe the only thing that comes to mind is that it is just a nice place to go for vacation but that is because Latin America is probably unfamiliar to us Americans, or we just think we are to good for them. If one’s knowledge of Latin America is little if any that is about to change as well as the way one views Latin America. Hispanic Americans or Latin Americans will make up about one-third of the United States Population. This is According to United States Census Bureau. This is one in every eight Americans. Latin Americans are diverse by their ethnicity and unique by their culture. The group consists of four basic groups. These groups are Mexican Americans, which make up the majority, Central/South American, Puerto Rican, and Cuban. What distinguished each group of Hispanics are the linguistic, political, social, economic, religious, and familial and culture characteristics of each. (Schaefer 2006)
Mexican Americans are usually what comes to mind when someone says “Hispanic”. This is true because they make up 66.9% percent of the Hispanic population. Spanish is the primary language for Mexican Americans. Mayan language is a part of their Spanish dialect. Many Mexicans are bilingual, speaking both Spanish and American. This is due to tourism in their country of Mexico and United States immigration. The political center of their nation is Mexico City. Political aspects of Mexico are the same as that of the United States. Mexicans, like American’s, celebrate an independence day. Their celebration is “Cinco de Mayo” which translates to “the 5th of May”. Three different groups make up Spanish society. Mestizos are lowest ranked on the status pole. They are a mix of Spanish and indigenous. A little higher ranked in status is the native peoples and the highest are the Spanish. One of the strongest economic aspect of Mexico and the Spanish people is their land. Tourism brings in the majority of the country’s revenue. The development of the land has developed rapidly since World War II; however only the middle class and upper class reap the rewards. The Mestizos, on the other hand, have not improved and some have deteriorated. In Mexico, there are many French influenced grandiose cathedrals from the 19th century. One of the more famous structures is Guadalupe Hidalgo. This building honors the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. 90% of Mexicans are Roman Catholic and about 9% are protestant. (Schaffer, 2006) The family ties with Mexicans are very strong. They raise their family in a traditional manner, which is extremely harsh with girls, holding them responsible for raising and taking care of the entire family while the husband supports the family financially.
Dominicans, Salvadorans, and Columbians make up 14.3% of the Hispanic population and are referred to as Latin Americans. Their primary language is Spanish and over 70% of the children speak Spanish at home. The 30% that do not speak Spanish speak French, Dutch, and Portuguese. Central and South American Hispanics have a volatile environment when it comes to politics. They have civil unrest in places like El Salvador. This is the reason for immigration into the United States during the 1980’s and 90’s. They rely on a color gradient to separate racial groups that is based on light skin or dark skin. Social relations among this group are not conforming. Their social status ranks from peasants to exiles. Their economic instability is another reason for why people immigrate. Many flee their country hoping to escape their poverty. Many central and South Americans are homeless, hungry, and work in extreme conditions for pennies. South America relies heavily on exporting goods and natural resources. Their religion is a mix between Christian and Catholic. They do not truly separate the two but have Christian characteristics intertwined with their Catholic ways and beliefs. The head of the household in Central and South America is the man in over 80% percent of families. Most families live in multigenerational households. (Hispanic Americans, 2006)
Puerto Ricans make up 8.6 percent of Hispanic American population. They often are called Americono’s. Spanish is the primary language used in school. Their secondary language is American. The students in Puerto Rico begin learning English in elementary school and continue through high school as a part of their curriculum. By the time they are in high school classes are taught in English more than Spa
Next month I will travel to the caribbean Islands and I’m planning to buy a house on one of those Islands to spend my every year vacations there, any opinions of which one of those Islands is the best place to buy it?
I’m just curious about people’s dream vacations/travel destinations. I really want to go to Alaska, Norway, some Caribbean Islands, and Australia personally.
You can also tell me where in the past your favorite destinations were, and why. Have a good day everyone!
