For me, any place where I can live in luxury hotel suite doing nothing is a good vacation. I'm a work freak, and I need to go to someplace sometimes where I just have to be, away from my day routines. No computers. Lately it has been Thailand, but to go there I must sit in plane some 10-11 hours. I have never liked flying, and as I grow older, I like it less and less. I only can bear it because they have free booze, lol!

When we go to vacation, we always buy everything ourselves, we don't use travel agencies. Today that's easy as we have the net. As an example, my wife is computer freak, and can't leave home without laptop. In our last trip to Thailand, we could buy net connection there from our own home. When we arrived in hotel she just connected her laptop to phone line and she was in net. Well, she has Nokia GSM that has unwired connection to net but that's a little bit of difficult to use - it uses infra red (and is expensive as hell).

For me, vacation is resting time. I can sit by the pool for hours with cold drinks and just doing nothing. It's like loading batteries. My wife sometimes get a case of vacation stress and then it's trip to see all tourist traps in town, but that's all right. It usually goes away quickly. One afternoon in churces and museums are usually enough, lol!

So, my advice is, go anywhere you want, but travel in style. Shoe string budget in vacation is hell.

I'm the same way finnbear when its vacation its vacation. I am looking for some place to relax and just veg out without fighting crowds, watching teenie boppers puke on themselves from drinking too much etc. However, I also want a place where I can do some things like fishing, maybe parasailing, and possibly scuba diving (I went one time in Cozumel and it was a BLAST!). I am still looking around and am taking everyones and looking to see which ones look the best. Thanks all for your input so far its great
