Re: Another vacation post: Where have you been?

I've only been to Mexcio, The Bahamas, DR, Antigua and of course Florida.

Antigua was my absolute facorite place. We went for our HM and just had the most amazing time. We kayaked for the first time and loved it. As far as hotel the Sandals there was amazing. The Paradisus in DR is a VERY close second.

Perfect weather and time to go.. you'll love it!!



We are very excited! Have you been? Any tips? Chat Icon



Sure, but where do I start?

In Goa, make sure you try the fish cafreal! mm.. delicious!! Eating with your (right) hand is perfect acceptable, so feel free!!

A little bit of modesty goes a looonggg way! Even though they don't say anything and just keep looking, you can minimize the stares Chat Icon Chat Icon In Goa, get your hotel to get you some fresh coconuts.. drink the coconut water right out with a straw and then they will split it open, and eat the pulp! So friggin yummy!

In Mumbai, watch out for your belongings. You will see a hugeeeee class difference.. BMW rolling with 20 somethings, while a 50 something man is dripping in sweat trying to get to work in a crowded bus!! Then there's also the forgotten people.. they will ask you for money.. some will have small children with visible disabilities, don't get me wrong, it will freak you out and get to you.. it is life for some there, and it is visible..

Mumbai is just amazing.. food especially street food is so yummy!! Bottled water only!! Pepto bismol is your friend, a shot a day keeps tummy bugs at bay! That was our mantra and it worked like a charm.. we ate it all Chat Icon Try a kulfi.. yum! Drink Indian tea.. out of this world! Try South Indian food in Mumbai as well.. healthy and delicious..

If you are going to buy from street vendors.. just haggle a bit! Prices are always marked up.. but then we didn't because too much....

Everyone speaks English! Visit a temple if you can (modest clothing).. and if they allow non-Hindus (some do and some don't).. its an amazing feeling.. some areas you'll see animals on the road.. but they are part of life, and are well taken care of.. India is an animal lover's paradise Chat Icon Chat Icon

Ok, that's a lot of info.. Chat Icon Chat Icon

eta: post Nov 2008.. every hotel in Mumbai has a metal detector for you to in and out of.. your baggage will get a better screening that most airports.. some even bigger hotels even have sniffer dogs.. especially the if you choose the Taj or Oberoi

Re: Another vacation post: Where have you been?

I've been to St. Thomas, Bermuda, Disney, all over the East Coast, Topeka, KS, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, the Chinese countryside, Signapore, Tokyo, England, Italy, Hawaii... and probably a lot of places I am forgetting.

Favorite hotel is the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong. Chat Icon

I also loved Hotel Davanzati in Florence.

Florence is my favorite place I've visited, I think.

I really want to go to New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. A good friend is South African, so I might be able to swing that one at some point soon. Chat Icon

DH has been throughout more of Europe than I have -- Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Spain, France, and a few others, I think. He's also been out west a lot more (Arizona, California, New Mexico, etc...) to go hiking.
