@DebbyWinter no its not

should i skip a week of school and go a cruise to jamaica? i want to see what kind of bud they have over there

BIG SUR in California, has all that, you can camp on the beach (we did) and build a fire ( we did that too) you can hike up the river near Big Sur, There is the Redwood forest close by, , with giant Sequoya tees. you are close to everything yet still out in the wilds.
More rugged? go to Colorado, or British Colombia or Alberta and drive up the Jasper highway, see the Glaciers before they are gone, and visit Lake Louise, for Sunday Brunch at the Chateau. And hike til you're hearts content. BUT watch out for Grizzleys and Mountain Lions. there are lots( I'm Canadian)

I've been to Russian Siberia. Lived there for a year. Cold but fantastic. I thoroughly recommend it. As for the rest, I'd love to see them all, especially the Outback.

I've been to both places and I would go back to Costa Rica again no questions asked. In fact, I've been to Costa Rica twice now . . . the second time I was married there. To me, it's not even really a fair comparison. It's like comparing a trip to Disneyland and Yellowstone. Like you, I'm an adventure traveler and Costa Rica is arguably the best place in the world for that. Don't get me wrong, Hawaii is great, but it's wrapped in a veil of Japanese and American capitalism and the beaches are littered with high rise condos and gift shops selling plastic junk from China. While Costa Rica isn't completely untouched anymore, it's far less commercialized than any place the states can offer. And the dollar still goes pretty far there. Plus the travel time is normally considerably less. Either way, have a great trip no matter where you decide to go. Pura Vida !!!

Water quality is top in jamaica.

they don’t go around killing gay people BUT they are very against it.

Why not to visit Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. Start from Venice than rant a car to visit Slovenia (just 150 km from Venice. Visit there the capital Ljubljana, nearby lake Bled and the biggest European cave Postojna and from there proceed to nearby Istria peninsula in Croatia (only 40 km from Slovenija). Visit this beautiful coast and Adriatic blue sea and cities like Rovinj, Pula (with its third European Amphitheatre), old romantic towns like Motovun and many others.

From there you can return back to Italy and visit Romeo’s and Juliet’s Verona on the way to Milan. The weather in these countries is just sunny and with a lot of fun specially for younger people.

Jamaica is the most beautiful island undoubtedly (and my heritage is Kittician) but it’s restless in parts…I wouldn’t live there, not unless I could afford the mountains, but unfortunately those are full of whites.

jamaica is a lot more dan gay issue and tap water…nuff tribulation face man an woman a yard…corrupt government run tings still…

There are few countries in the world that are culturally very rich. I recommend the most popular tour in India called Golden Triangle Tour, and their website is also by the same name http://www.goldentriangletour.com. You can also enjoy many other places. Besides India, look for other exciting options visiting Bali, Singapore, Bangkok, Dubai, Sydney, Sri Lanka, etc.

The water in Jamaica is one of the best in the world. No one dies or even gets sick from drinking it… I am drinking it right now.. As for the gay issue, it is sad when people stay outside and judge another country. Jamaicans are very homophobic, but they don’t waste time murdering gays… The Jamaican people are very conservative and don’t like to see people displaying affection openly- yes not even straight people. They believe those things belong indoors.

You'll probably end up red flagged for advertising ,but I'll take a look.

It is better to have the g/f if she is willing to do so. Otherwise, go on your own.

hi,

india is a safe place if you follow few rules here, just dont go lonely places in night, try visiting arts & cultures center in the office timings, do not stay at new places, always take a crowdy [u will find plenty of crowd almost everywhere] route to go and come, opt for city center hotels, travel by air, do not wear revealing dresses, buy a local mobile handset and number temporarily [go for cheaper mobile if u dont want to use in future], save telephone numbers of your hotel at every city you visit.
there are plenty of tourist travelling safely everywhere in india so you are sure to meet people of similar interests to you.

best wishes,

Take an Amtrak train to Santa Barbara (or San Diego).

Enjoy the beach, and shops and restaurants on State Street (or Old Town SD).

The coase is wonderful, and you can relax on the ride.

Regarding gays: They believe that whatever u are doing is your business but you should keep it to yourself.Some gays are beaten when they show their affection publicly which offends the masses who weren’t brought up that way .

Re: Water- I wouldn’t recommend that you drink the Jamaican water if you don’t usually drink tap water. I have friends who just can’t drink tap water because of the Chlorine content etc….
