We really liked Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica a lot. Where else should we try?

This will make you decide which country to visit. I would recommend Greece or Cyprus, since I come from these countries, and in my blogs you will find more than 2000 photos with notes and comments on trips. I am on a very beautiful island right now even if it is September, and the climate is fantastic. What is your country of origin by the way? Tell us more about yourself. Join the forums and share photos with us. -------------------- My LATEST BLOGS: Marmari, Vasa, and CYPRUS, the Unique Destination for Business and Holidays!!!

The first place that came to mind from your list is New Zealand as that has pretty much everything you want. And as the Barbados representative I'd say the Caribbean.. but it is a bit overcommercialised Grenada, St. Lucia and St. Vincent arent as much though, and they're all little gems. Also, the south of Puerto Rico It's hard to give a cheap place to go because you didn't say where you're from! People in the Americas tend to go for Mexico, CR, etcetc. But if Europe is no problem for you to get to then I'd go with Popi up there and say Greece and Cyprus. Croatia's said to be very nice too. -------------------- Sarah: Little girl, big dreams. Currently living in Scotland British born, Barbados raised, slowly but surely getting out there. One day.. Next trips: Australia Late March-April; Europe Late June-Mid August

You'll hit loads on your list in South East Asia too. BTW, welcome to the forums -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future.

I recently read and article in the NY Times about El Salvador...seems it is soon to be the "next Costa Rica" type of destination. Here is the link... No Longer War-Torn, El Salvador Begins to Draw Tourists The article made me interested in El Salvador for a possible future trip, let me know what you think. -------------------- Erik's Adventure Through Socialist Orgies and Post Communism Lands Erik's Adventure Through Coca Fields and Ancient Incan Ruins Erik's Adventure Through Old Town Alleys and Former Soviet Republics Future... May 2010 - China? Caucasus? Central America? I need to figure it out soon.
