Island vacations: Caribbean, Floridian, Hawaiian, Seychellian
There's a pretty good article here on various Caribbean islands. Of course if you read the one a few days ago, this might not excite you. They do recommend some particular resorts and this could be useful if you're planning a Caribbean trip. They also recommend a few adventure vacation all-inclusives.
If you're looking for an American island, try Florida's Amelia Island. This article makes it sound like a good place for families and nature-loving kayakers (like myself). They also mention golf, tennis, and shopping but I didn't actually read those parts (although I do like tennis a little).
For a more famous American island, consider a Hawaiian vacation. I just learned that they have a steam train excursion which features some nice views and some history lessons. You might also try to reach America's best beach or you can consider working with this vacation plan. Or you could find a nice condo on Kauai or Kauai's Hanalei bay Resort.
If you need to spend $3,000 or more/night, try Banyan Tree Seychelles on the island of Mahe, off Africa's Tanzanian coast. This article talks about that one and a few other vacations I can't afford. Sir Paul McCartney and Janet Jackson stayed there and we can only imagine what they saw:
The Seychelles have been called a modern-day Garden of Eden, with UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the VallŽe de Mai, home to the legendary coco-de-mer double nut, orchids the size of basketballs, and extraordinary bird and tortoise colonies. You can be whisked away there or to neighboring islands Praslin and La Digue, courtesy of the Banyan Tree's newest perk: a private helicopter pad making it easy to arrange for inter-island transport.Posted by James Trotta at April 11, 2007 1:11 PM | TrackBack
With the breathtaking overall package offered by Seychelles, it is just right to have it called as the modern-day "Garden of Eden"!
