Trip / vacation / recharge my batteries

[biogenicx]

I'm needing to take a trip and re-energize BADLY.

I'm worn out as shit. I haven't been on a trip in 10 years or more so I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff.

So looking for your guys help since I'm sure a few of you travel around a lot. I just want a place to "chill" and with some fun stuff to do where I'm not going to get shot (ie. I'm not wanting to go to columbia).

Can any of you suggest a good vacation spot? Good resorts? Fun stuff to do while there?

I need to re-find my passion for life while on this vacation- if that makes any sense.

 

[biogenicx]

5g's I'm thinking? Is that reasonable?

 

[Moraff]

kinda hard to suggest stuff when all we know is that you have $5k to spend and don't want to get shot.


Perhaps a cruise? Good way to get away and do nothing, as well there are usually shore excursions when you stop in ports that may let you try something fun or different.

 

[biogenicx]

good point moraff lol. Sorry I should've given more details...

I want to stay away from cruises- I saw the movie Titanic... Dark chance in hell you're getting me on one of those boats lol- I'd prefer taking my chances on a fishing boat

I'm thinking something along the lines of a beach. Nice clear water and relaxing... I'm a younger male so I wouldn't mind a place that's upscale but also a place where there will be younger girls (ie. 20-28) Also I'm going to eat like a pig so all inclusive resort? I asked a friend about mexico and they told me to stay as far away from there as possible.

I heard Veradero and Puntacana are good party towns in Cuba. I'm sure you can find some good all-inclusive places there.

Although, I personally want to try out Turks and Caicos. I heard it is gorgeous.

Montego Bay, Jamaica rocks, Ya Mon

From the sounds of it, you're looking for a rest and possibly some fun on at a reasonably price and you're concerned about safety. But you don't mention anything about getting some local action.

I suggest Veradero Cuba.

Try and pick at least a 4 star, all inclusive resort. Their standards are a little lower than ours. A 4 star there would be a 3 star here.

Enjoy!

If you are bored easily, and want lots of stimulation (like I am), I suggest Las Vegas. It is so convenient and familar culturally, but there are always things to do, and people looking for a good time.

 

[FAKE Reviews]

if you want safe and hassle free, go for all inclusive CUBA. Chilled out. if you want wilder Mexico. If you want heaven go ARUBA. 50 miles from Colombia and not too far from other local isles and very very far away from the place you sit now and read my reply. Hey BioG I been to 40+ countries and wow what a coinkadink, if this is rthe same biogenix I am thinking about we made serious$$$$ when your stock was at pennies ... ahhhhh , forgetbou tit.

god luck G.

 

[ClassAct]

Isn't Pattaya, Thailand, an obvious choice?

 

[onthebottom]

Phuket Thailand would be hard to beat, anywhere in Hawaii is nice, Florida beaches.....

OTB

5 G's is a lot of money for a single person on an all-inclusive. You could easily go Sandals/Hedonism at various Caribbean countries and have a blast. Or save some dough and pay half that at a 4.5 or 5 star in Dominican/Mexico as long as it isn't XMAS or March Break. Last minute deals are all over the place. Safety not an issue at these resorts - just don't be stupid with your off-site activities. There is also a place in the Dominican that offers 'sexual' services as part of their resort - sort of like a bordello/resort (it was reviewed in Maxim I believe). Looks pretty cool...perhaps in another life for me.

Depends what you want.

If you just want to crash on a resort, relax by the pool / beach then:

Punta Cana Dominican Republic
or

Playa Excellence Mujeres in Cancun. (I've been here and it's absolutely 5*)

I've been to a few places in the Caribbean and nothing touches the above place. Jamaica? No fucking way I'll ever go back to that place.


If you want a beach but be able to go out and see some sights - Hawaii, specifically Maui. The great thing about Maui is that it's the States, but it's not the States. By that I mean you get certain advantages of being in the USA - namely law and order and you can drink the water, but Hawaii doesn't have that Rah Rah USA attitude like the rest of the country. In fact, most of the locals are ambivalent about being American; many would love separate (believe it or not).


If you want to tour around and see the sights and experience culture and fantastic architecture, and interesting culture - there is NOWHERE in North America you will find that, you have to head to Europe. For me, Rome / Italy takes the prize there. Fantastic place, not hugely expensive (London takes the cake there - though London is a spectacular city bar none). Only thing is, you travel around, see things, tour, you don't sit and relax so when you get back home, you're actually MORE tired than when you left. You will need a vacation of a week to sit at home and watch TV and relax just to recharge.

As far as hobbying goes - I can't advise there. It's cheaper and easier to just get laid in Toronto. If you want to travel, travel. If you want to Monger - no need to travel. Waste ot money.

You can always go to the beaches of the Caribbean, but, as the more recent comments come in - go to Europe. Since you are still relatively young, it may change your view of the world, for the rest of your life. Beside Rome, London, consider Paris, Barcelona.

 

[biogenicx]

thanks for the advice everyone

Going to do some research on these places quickly. Is there a good company to book through online? Looking to leave in 2 weeks max. Looking at expedia.ca and travelocity.ca currently.

Also- I like latina's No hobbying for myself. I have some pretty nice abs right now so I think I'll be able to do fine with the locals or with the drunk skanks that go down there in groups on vacation lol. (Not a lcue what the local women down there are into as far as looks)

So is there a place with a lot of hot latina's age 18-30? Where I'm not going to end up getting shot for talking to the local women? I've heard horror storries of guys talkig to some drug dealers gf by accident and it didn't go well...

Everyone goes to Europe to "find themself" but I don't understand what's over there that's so great in all honesty? Maybe I'm missing something...

On the budget you have suggested, you've got a fairly full range of Caribbean destinations, including Bermuda, Barbados, etc and their relatively low crime rates.

You can also go party where the Europeans party, in Ibiza (off the coast of Spain). Party 'till daybreak, then start partying again.

I am at Excellence Punta Cana right now with some friends and this is a couples only style resort, we are a trio and having a hard time getting tables for dinner as it is an odd number. Excursions are near impossible to book if you are an odd number too. I wouldn't recommend the Excellence Resort chain as it isn't up to par with other five star resorts I have stayed at. But the local action is unbelievable and fun. Got to love the motels you rent in four hour time blocks that have baskets of condoms beside the bed, no need to regrister either, just walk in to a room and pay thru a slot in the wall to the staff, 700 DR for four hours ($20CAN). All the local bars have stripper poles in them too!

I hated Cuba when I went, the begging from locals for money and the guilt trip they give you if you say no just ruined it for me. The food was awful too. There was an issue with another traveler from Canada who punched out my travel partner in a drunken rage and the hotel refused to do anything about it. I would never return to Cuba because of the plathora of issues and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I spent time in Negril, Jamaica and loved it. A good place for younger tourists, lots of fun things to do and the food was unbelievably good. At least until I got home and found out that I was gravely ill from a tape worm so I strongly suggest you do a cleanse after traveling anywhere outside North America as parasite infections can kill you (they are the biggest killer out there, beating out AIDS and cancer). Have a look at Rockhouse, Country Country and if your budget will allow Moondance then go for it.

With 5G I'd give whole Thailand a tour. And why not do a visit to neighbour countries too...
My last 3 week trip cost me about 2G. Not sure how I pulled that off but I did. I should definitely add that beer and girls are cheap and look amazing (at least at night)
