My General Interests :)

After weeks or months of working five days a week, I get to the point where I’d really like to find some warm weather by a pool or the beach and just park myself.  In this economy, most of us are being a lot more careful about how we spend our money. From what I can tell hitting the road for distant places is not going to happen too much in the near future for a lot of us.  If you do have a little money for a sunny vacation, here are some ideas about affordable destinations where you can find some warm weather.

The first place that comes to mind is good old Southern California.  There are pushing 100 miles of great accessible beaches between San Diego to Malibu—dozens of places where you can lay out your towel.  The SoCal Vacation Guru website is one place where you can learn about the beaches and find links to great resources related to the area.  I think you’ll find many tips and good advice that you won’t find at other sources.

For an international trip that is not too far away, consider a vacation to Mexico.  Specifically, you can find many nice Cancun Travel deals online, and this resort city on the Yucatan Peninsula has a lot to offer summer travel visitors.  The city includes a long peninsula with dozens of beachfront hotels.  The weather can actually be too hot in the middle of summer.

There are travel deals to be found for warm-weather destinations throughout the
Caribbean.  There are quite a number of options in vacation destinations in that part of the world.  Take a look at other places such as Anguilla and Antigua.  But research carefully your intended destination, not only to ensure a safe and trouble-free trip but also to learn about the area (culture, history, interesting attractions, etc.) to make the trip more fun.  Of course the internet makes this kind of research amazingly easy; what did we do before the Web came along?
