People who use their holidays time every year often opt to use it
in the summertime months when gas prices are high & everyone else
is vacationing too. This frequently leads to flaring tempers on the
road & at the destination due to overcrowding & the rise in
prices.
Taking your vacation in the summer means inevitably having to pay
more because this is the time of year when travel companies &
tourist destinations raise prices in an effort to bilk as much revenue
as they can get within the short three month window in which their
businesses operate in the red.
A holidays is supposed to be about relaxation and freedom from
frustration & worry. I find this is easy to do if I take my
holidays in the winter. I hate winter and the uncontrollable shivering
that comes with it. For this reason, each year when my holidays
rolls around I pack my suit case and head for a hotter
climate, such as sandy beach destination.
It’s purposeless to go searching for a warm beach place to visit
in the winter though; especially on the East coastline, as well
as on the West Coast (yes people,
California is not always sunny
& warm). This is why I choose Hawaii. I had first of the most
spectacular beach holidays in a Hawaii a few years ago. It was filled
with beautiful landscapes, crystal clear water and activities I
never would have conceived of could exist in one place. I haven’t
been back since, but I intend on getting back there some day soon.
While Hawaii is nice, so is the Caribbean
Sea. Words can’t describe just how nice the beaches of the
Caribbean Sea islands are. The
Dominican Republic is likewise
a nice place to vacation (I did so last year). However, make sure
and stick to the tourist areas and the gorgeous beaches for your
own safety.
All of those places to visit have provided me with one great beach
vacation after the next, but my personal favorite was St.
Lucia. Though it was the most expensive vacation I ever took,
it was well worth it. I have a memorable picture of a beautiful
sunset that I personally took while I was there.
On a sentimental point, Puerto Rico
is a personal favorite of mine. It was not the best of the islands
I have visited, but it is where I met my wife and remains a place
that has etched several a memorable moment into my mind.
One of the best parts about taking an exotic beach vacation in
the winter is that it is easy to find wonderful travel deals. Oh,
& did I mention the crowds are not about as bad. Keep this in
mind the following time you’re dragging the family to Disneyland
in August with a hundred-thousand other families in 103 degree temperatures,
and maybe next time you’ll give the beach a try in winter.
