Hubby and I just returned from a 5 day Caribbean Cruise (Carnival Victory). This was my 5th (non-Navy-deployment!) cruise, and I swear, if I could cruise 4 or 5 times a year, I totally would. One day, perhaps....

We like to cruise right after Thanksgiving for 2 reasons: one, it's still warm in the caribbean/bahamas, two, it's right around my birthday and the prices are ridiculously inexpensive. 5 days and we had a rate of $200 per person ($40 per person per night). We do interior cabins because we don't spend much time in our cabin, so we'd rather spend extra money we might spend on a 'nicer cabin' on other activities.... such as adult beverages ;)

If you cruise - what cruise lines or specific ships or destination ports do you prefer? I've been to Cabo San Lucas, Puerta Vallarta, Nassau, Freeport, Key West, Cozumel, Cancun, and Grand Cayman. I'm happy anywhere warm with a beach. LOL.

I kind of wish we could develop a travel web on here. Want to see Texas or Oklahoma? I have the room. Anybody got spare room near the Grand Canyon? Continental breakfast for everyone! I can scramble eggs and only burn toast sometimes(:/)

Someplace on a tropical ocean coast. Preferably one where surfing and sailing are available. It should come with some sort of beverage wherein a little blue tiki umbrella is affixed. A past history of pirates corsairs or Buccaneers is a plus. An additional perk would be an adjacent golf course.

My wife and I traveled to Costa Rica this summer. 7 days. It was the best. The culture, biodiversity is respected so much there. It's a serious getaway from it all. We're definitely going back.

I have never been, but I heard that you don't have to speak the language and it is beautiful. How true are the rumors? I would love to go this summer.

That is correct! Costa Rican's within business establishments and many other areas speak good english. Beautiful doesn't even come close to explaining it. You have to go. Just think of this fact, Costa Rica accounts for about .03% of the earth's mass and holds 5% of the world's biodiversity!!!! Now imagine the wildlife. At one of our hotels we went outside to go to the pool, we were on the top floor. There were a troop of monkeys in the trees beside us. The youngest was in the rear and out of curiosity came as close as four feet from me to examine me. To be able to view these beauties in their natural habitat was one of the most memorable experiences to date! That was just the monkeys, there was definitely more to see, some beauties came out at certain times of the day and we only had seven days to do so much. I admit I went on and on there but don't take my word for it, experience it for yourself!

That hotel was the best for us. They have hot springs heated by the volcano!
