So, here's my vacation dilemma. I like tropical. I don't really see a need to visit snow, especially since I've lost the beloved ability to ski which I'm still somewhat bitter about. However, I currently live on the west coast and let's just discuss getaways for a moment:
- California- nice. beautiful. I love it, in fact. But it is hardly tropical and rarely warm.
- Hawaii- I'm not rich so that basically rules that out.
- Alaska- the opposite of tropical (though I would like to go at least once)
- Mexico.
Ok Mexico- you are warm, you are generally affordable, and you are within reach.....
But I don't really like you.
Yes, I have been to Mexico and been less than impressed. Now before you Mexico fanatics get all up in my business, just hear me out.
It seems like anytime someone is selling Mexico, I see pictures and ads like this:
I even think to myself, "wow, that looks nice."
Yet somehow when I arrive in Mexico, it looks like this:
Just to be fair, I have to give Puerta Vallarta some props, but otherwise I could care less about going to Mexico. I've been to Cabo (American Mexico), Mazatlan (just shoot me because that would probably be more enjoyable), and Cozumel (relaxing is great but could we possibly find something to do here?). Oh and lest we forget Tijuana.
So let's revisit our options here...
Hawaii?
Ahhhh, yessss. I love Hawaii.
Oh but wait....
back to the money scenario.
I've been to Hawaii twice. I had a great time both times. The first time I left I actually cried. But by the time I save up enough money for the hubby and I to go to Hawaii, this looks much more enticing for the same price:
Or better yet, this:
Point of this rant being that basically all the places I'd like to go visit are far away and consume much of our available time off in travel time. So.... I guess what I'm saying is....
we should definitely move.
