There’s nothing like lying on a sandy beach under a bright blue sky when you look for an exotic location for a vacation. This is why most people choose to visit the Tropics, where they can experience the sun, warmth and culture for two or three weeks a year. The Caribbean is not the only place in the world where you can find tropical islands, as there are tropical vacation spots all over the world.
Bali Island is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Indonesia. It is also one of the top ten destinations in Asia. Here you will find some of the best resorts in the world with great value for the money that you spend. You can choose to stay in an oceanfront villa where you are only steps away from the beach. If you want to spend time alone, you also have the option of staying in a secluded resort.
Hainan Island, in China, has often been called Asia’s Hawaii. Here you have white sandy beaches and year round tropical weather, which ranges from 16 degrees to 30 degrees. The tourist season runs from October to March. The international airport on this island has daily flight to all the major airports in the country, so there is no problem with being able to book a holiday in one of the resorts here.
Hawaii is another preferred destination for vacationers. The surf, sand and sun all add up to a holiday that you will remember for a lifetime. The scenery is awesome and the sunsets just take your breath away. The islands were the birthplace of surfing and when you visit you can engage in the sport or be a spectator from the beach. Explore hidden coves, swim with the dolphins or climb to the summit of a volcano.
Some of the best island vacation locations are in the Caribbean. All of the islands are geared up for tourists with accommodations to suit all budgets. Each island is different and offers a unique experience for visitors. These islands were once colonies of European countries and therefore you get the feeling that you are touring Europe when you visit because of the flavors that remain from these earlier times.
Whichever of the tropical islands in the world you wish to visit, you can easily make all your reservations online. The all-inclusive packages provide you with everything you need in comfort because you have your accommodations, meals and drinks included in the price you pay. You do have it all paid in advance, as well, which means you only have to bring your spending money with you.
The resorts in the tropical islands are almost like self-contained communities where there are facilities for all kinds of activities – swimming, tennis, golf – and of course there is a spa and fitness facilities. You can also arrange to take in some sightseeing of the area you visit and it is possible that the resort may even be able to arrange this for you.
Any experienced sailor will tell you there is a big difference between dreaming of sailing into the sunset and actually doing it.
Choosing the right sailboat for your experience level and intended use is particularly important, and can mean the difference between a dream sailing adventure and a nightmare on the high seas.
Most novice sailors or “armchair sailors” tend to think a bit bigger than is safe or practical.
When it comes to sailboats, size does matter! A smaller boat is more appropriate for day sailing or the occasion overnight trip. They’re easier to handle and they are cheaper to own — just about all boating expenses are tied to the length of the boat. For example, moorage costs are tied to length, many parts and things such as rigging and sails are bigger and more costly for larger boats, and, of course, insurance costs multiply as well.
My advice: start small with a 20-foot sailboat. Get to know the basics of sailing, and make sure your wife or significant other is “onboard” with your plans.
If your dream is to one day cruise off to warmer climates, start with short hops in your local area. Setting off on a long-range sailing adventure requires experience and a lot of planning. Cruising locally in a small boat will familiarize you with the bohemian nature of sailing — minimal luxuries and comforts. If you can handle that, you’ll have a better appreciation of the sailing life as you move up to larger vessels.
When checking out sailboats for sale, you’ll want to understand that the age of the sailboat has little to do with its quality and suitability for your plans. New boats, while bright and shiny with lots of high-tech bells and whistles, can be a curse if you’re in a foreign port where parts are not readily available.
Above all, you need to be honest with yourself in relation to your own personal skills and abilities. If you love DIY (do-it-yourself) projects, you’ll do fine with an older boat in need of work. But if you expect all to be movie-perfect, and all you want to do is sip cocktails while the boat sails itself, you’d be better off on a cruise ship!
The cruising lifestyle can be tremendously gratifying in many ways, but you need to start with the right boat and realistic expectations.
