Vacation experiences in Thailand & Florida
I've got two things for you today. One is for the dreamers and one is for the complainers (you know the commenters who cry about my vacation ideas being too expensive). If you don't want to dream about the good life, skip the next paragraph.
The good life in Thailand: here's an interesting article on a single woman's travel experience in Thailand staying at a resort in Koh Samui. I'm not sure what she's talking about when she says Thai massage puts her to sleep. The pain generally purges all thoughts of sleep from my mind (though I do sleep well after one of those Thai massages).
If you're an American looking to stay in the country, USA Today recommends "A sunny Florida retreat on Amelia Island". They say people go there for the beaches, making it a lot like Thailand I guess: "It's the perfect sunny getaway for couples seeking quiet and romance, families who want the familiar comforts of home, and anyone who loves to play in warm ocean waters."

I'm a dreamer but going to Thailand isn't one of my dreams. I prefer the Cook Islands. Try Palau instead of Thailand.
Posted by: Margaret at September 16, 2006 12:49 AMThanks for the comment. I'd love to hear your experiences with the Cook Islands or Palau. Personally, I prefer Malaysia over Thailand which is why I've only ben to Thailand once. I'm sure I'll go back eventually though, maybe to study Thai massage.

They treat you nice and the country is beautiful. As for going to FL or Thailand. A person will probably save money by going to Thailand and you can tell them how you want your message. So go to a place near home or live a little.

Cann't recomend it enough for a place to vacation. But do get away from the tourist traps for part of your time there, it will do you good.
