Something about me, about cheapcaribbean.com, about Florida, and about pregnant women in spas
I'm still busy running around after the stray dog we picked up. Libby is a lot of work and has some personality flaws...
Anyway, I'm making an excsuse for another short blog entry. Here's an article on cheapcaribbean.com. I checked them out for my upcoming trip to Punta Cana. They specialize in air and hotel packages. The resort prices alone (I already booked the flights) don't seem like bargains to me.
Here's a story about how a vacation planner ended up choosing Florida's St. George Island. Sounds like a nice place to relax but I hope that Punta Cana is nicer because it looks like it will cost me more...
Speaking of cost, some people are driving less this summer because of gas prices. Considering the popularity of driving to vacation destinations in America, this could be significant.
In case you're on a babymoon, here's a list of spa treatments and their implications for pregnant women. I was a little surprised to hear the caution against hot tubs.

Actually if you are on a babymoon, the woman shouldn't worry about hot tubs at all! Because the idea is, you are trying to get pregnant on a babymoon, not already pregnant!
It's the MAN who should avoid the hottubs, as the heat will damage his swimmers.
Posted by: anne at June 7, 2007 5:01 PMWe are nearing 7,000,000,000 (yes, BILLION) people in the world, and all rich Americans can think of is making yet more babies to consume more resources? Yet more babies will also emit yet more greenhouse gases as well. Babymoons are ridiculous and show complete disregard for the state of the planet. It's no longer a question of what the individual wants; it's a question of what the planet needs, and that's FEWER PEOPLE. Limit your family size!

I've been to St George Island. It is really small, but the beaches are the beautiful white-sand beaches that Florida is famous for. We went at the beginning of May, and we nearly had the beach to ourselves. There is a beautiful state park that covers the whole eastern end of the island. We rented a boat with a captain for a half-day, and he gave us a wonderful boat tour of the area. You can drive over to Port St Joe for more restaurant choices. Definitely a laid-back beach getaway.
