my first trip give ideas

[Rage]

meh, i'm not one for the whole tropical retreats.

personally, my 4 dream trips would be russia/scandanavia (beautiful, beautiful, land. ) ireland/scotland (again, beautiful and gaelic), washington state (camping ftw!) and alaska

Why go to all those places when you can go to a place with all that? MAINE!

Its beautiful, great camping, great fishing, unmatched atv trails, we are having our annual musky derby/ mardi gras pretty soon which draws in thousands of people. Oh and we got bears! BEARS!!!!!!

I second Puerto Rico only because of my bias and the following reasons:

Hot girls
drinking age is 18
no currency exchange - US dollar
they speak English and Spanish
tropical weather

Isla Verde in San Juan is the touristy attraction and where you should look for hotels. Since I have family there, I just stay with them. Another place in PR you should look at is Vieques. It's an island off Puerto Rico that is part of Puerto Rico. It's where the Navy used to do their practice drills. Navy no longer occupies the island and the government has cleaned it up. Since then it is now home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Those places are nice but San Juan has turned to crap.

Puerto Rico hasn't cleaned up. the last time I was down there there was garbage all over the place, they had just shot their ecomonmy in the foot by kicking the navy out and the crime is still pretty bad in the major cities like san juan

Also the placement of Puerto Rico means your pretty likely to get a 3rd degree burn if you spend a good amount of time in the sun without sunscreen

I'd sooner go to florida than puerto rico again.

I blame the Dominicans. All those illegals, and the sad part is you can tell.

Kavinsky, of course you would get burned. It's called the sun. And since you're probably pasty white, yeah.. you would probably need suncreen and sunscreen = no burn. Unless your genetically accustomed to sun. Secondly, the Navy was not booted by Puerto Rico it self. They fucked up by killing a Navy civilian employee during a practice bombing = massive protest, and now that entire island is property of the US Wildlife Service. They were no where near the main island to boost money or economy. Only military installations is Ft. Buchanan (Army) and two Navy radio bases plus the Coast Guard in Old San Juan. If you knew anything about their economy and current situation (which you clearly don't) it has nothing to do with the Navy's departure.

Amsterdam.

I just didnt like it and the navy personal leaving certainly didn't help the local economy any and the locals dont actually take care of most of the island save for the damn beaches.

not to mention the prices of the good hotels or resorts are out of sight and as a tourist and as an english only speaker you'd probably be targeted by criminals if you went out drinking at night in one of the big cities

If you want to go its your choice but I'd make sure to go out with close friends who would watch my back.


If it was me I'd stick to the US and probably go for either Miami or Ft Worth Texas where my brother is.


There is still one thing that boggles my mind about my trips down there WTF was a 25th aniversary Lamborghini Countach doing driving around 10 miles away from Palmas Del Mar in Humacao.
